Some friends and I are planning a party and would like to serve something a little different in addition to plenty of beer. We all like Long Island Iced Tea but unfortunately none of us know exactly how to make it - especially for a large group. If anyone out there has a favorite recipe for the stuff, we would be forever indebted if you would send it to us. Otherwise we might be forced to frequent bars and try to pry the recipe from reluctant bartenders. Anyway, if you have a recipe, please post it to the net or mail it to ixlpc!ellenb. Thanks mucho in advance. Speaking of parties, I am curious to know what some of you out there consider a "good party". Like, what makes some parties so successful and others completely bomb when both are pretty much the same - (meaning both have the basics - people and beer). I would like to hear some theories if any of you have any, okay? By the way, I have tried to post this article 3 or 4 times, but have never seen it - so I assume it has yet to make the net. But if I was wrong and it has appeared several times then I am really sorry for the repetition. I am fairly new at BTL and don't have many things, including the news, mastered yet. Anxiously awaiting replies, Ellen

For me, the formula for a good party is to have LOTS of people (I advertize all over the place), and to have all kinds of different people (from work, church, singles group, neighbors, etc., etc.). I provide music, soft drinks, ice, and some food (usually chips and dip), and ask people to bring their own booze. I've followed this formula for 17 years and haven't had a bad one yet!
