So now that you have successfully avoided having a good party broken up, thanks to your
portable beer pong table of course, what do you do now that the heat is on? Let's be real here, no form of security gives up after one failed attempt to break up a party and they are no slouches so it's time to get serious. First, let's recap the pros and cons of where you're at:
Pros:
- They never found your beer pong table and therefore will not be looking for one if they come again.
- Your six game beer pong win streak can continue.
- You're obviously a smooth talker since your party is not broken up.
- The security probably thinks you will take it easy now that they have spoken to you.
Cons:
- You got one strike and in this league it only takes two.
- They will use any excuse they can to come back to your place, especially if it's a slow night.
- Some of them might be bitter you survived round 1
Step 1: Secure the beer pong table. After all, this is your most sacred party item. Move it to a place not visible from the front door or a window and make sure there is somewhere you can quickly throw the beer pong table if you hear a knock on the door. Since it folds down to only the size of a briefcase this should be a piece of cake.
Step 2.: Turn the music down. Loud music is the number one reason parties get broken up, beer pong tables get confiscated and people don't come back the next time. Surely there will be some crazy person who finds the radio when their favorite song comes on and they just have to blare it. Needless to say this person must be stopped. Usually these people are hell bent on getting loud so it will be a difficult task. Offer a game of beer pong, or find something shiny to distract them until the song is over. The beer pong tactic has a proven 110% success rate, whereas the shinny object only works about 75% of the time so go with beer pong first. In fact, in the rare case of a person who just won't accept the fact the music needs to be lowered try combining the two tactics. To do this point out how pretty the design is on the beer pong table while walking them over to play a game.
