Bobbi Rich is a lovely party animal. She is the host and creator of the fabulous show, Hangin Tuff, which brings bands into a nautical-themed, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse-style taping where Bobbi throws plastic crabs at them, offers the show’s signature Hangin Tuff juice and, generally, parties down. THIS is all why we had to ask her one Super Important Question. 

Jake Uitti: What are the elements of a great party?

Bobbi Rich: A good party is like making a good burger. We must first ask ourselves, “What’s the most import about the burger?”

1) THE MEAT. DUH. The meat of the party has gotta be juicy. The meet of the party is always the music. Bison, Elk, Waygu, Kobe…. you need to first pick your flavor of sweet meat.

Aww crap. Noooow all I can think of is that song from Popeye, EVERYTHING IS FOOOOOOD, which actually holds a lot of meaning to what I’m trying to say. Did you know Harry Nilsson scored that whole soundtrack? Man, it’s so good. Shoot what was I talking about? Oh yes, my party recipe. ANYWAYZ – whether it’s a DJ or a band, the music is the meat. Always when planning a killer fete you must first ask yourself WHERE IS THE BEEF?

2) THE FIXINS. Good bands & DJ’s play every night, especially in Seattle, you want your night to go down in party time history books.  What you now need is some secret sauce. Some examples from some of my parties would be things like our fun DIY decorations, lots of giant inflatable cell phones (cell FUNS, I call them), Sexy Sax manz, confetti cannons, we’ve had live brass bands marching through the crowd, fly girls humping the dance floor, and even stripper cowboys delivering pizza to the crowd. Make it surprising, make it feel like there are NO RULES. Everyone loves no rules. No rules, the best.

3) YOU GOT TO HAVE BUNZ HUN = a venue and lots of booze. Bunz is easy, you can make almost any place fun with all the other heat you’re packin in the middle of double double animal style burg you’re stackin up.

4) GOODIES: everyone loves prizes, foods, free stuffs, kewl junkz. Stickers? I love stickers.

5) LASTLY, and not least, you got to have all the best party animals there to shake up there sweaty bods on each other, them your french fries.

….Golden slices of heavens sun beams. Who delivers fries? HANGER. I’ll pay top dollar for some fry delivery.  Ok, Ok, I’m done, just follow my easy four step party program and you’ll be breaking toilets left and right.

REVIEW: A tasty big mac daddy party burger, accompanied by all your favorite fry kids, and a goodie party prize = you just made yerself the happiest of meals, my dear BUTTies.

(I spelt it that way cause I love butts)

Party on my dudes and dudettes. Party the fuck on.
