This idea was (as I believe) originally developed by a group of ravers in College Station, TX, known as the "Whistle Crew". They coordinated two of these such parties so far (as of January 9, 2001), and both have been considered a jolly good time by all.

What you need

• A large group of friends. 20+ is good. This can be a frat/sorority, a set of co-workers, or perhaps a church group.
• 2-3 locations (apartments/houses/fields).
• An ample supply of alcohol at each location.
• A couple designated drivers and cars that you can fit a lot of people into if these locations are a car-ride apart.

How it works

• The group of friends splits up into 2 groups. The girls meet up at one location, and the guys at another.
• Drinking ensues.
• At a designated time or amount of alcohol left, both groups leave their locations and meet up at the third location. Designated drivers are suggested.
• Drinking ensues again.
• Fun is had by all.

Other notes

The final location should be the biggest apartment/house that you can use. If you only have 2 locations, one group goes to the other group's abode. There should be music and drinking games at the final location (DJs and turntables are fun).
