So as you can see in the picture, I threw a party last year. AEW is a pro wrestling company, much like WWE. They had this big outdoor show at Wembley Stadium in London. Sold something like 80,000 tickets. We watched live on PPV.

It’s the first time I ever threw a wrestling watch party. I invited 4 people. I bought cheese, soft pretzels, bought chips/queso. I had vodka, whiskey, beer, and 3 different THC vape pens along with edible gummies. I also had coke (the soda), barqs root beer, and one of the special novelty mountain dew flavors.

I cooked chicken, and cut the cheese into cubes with individual toothpicks. I got out my good plates. And used the projector to make the screen 90 inches.

Only 2 people showed up. Nobody ate hardly anything. Nobody drank anything. Hardly anything was said. This picture was taken AFTER the party. We went through 1 bag of chips, and 1 1/2 jars of queso.

I literally could have just bought 1 bag of chips, 2 jars of queso, and saved $100 and 2 days of prep work.

I even had 2 different styles of BBQ sauce for the chicken.

Yes, it’s a year later, and I’m still mildly infuriated over it!

    I feel your pain, several years ago I made Thanksgiving dinner for about 15 friends, everything prepped the day before, and we had a hard ice that night, everything frozen over and no one showed

      Ah, that sucks too. At least you can take solace in the knowledge that it was unsafe to drive. Still sucks, but it’s a bit less insulting. My thing was on a sunny August day.

        did you miss the part where the streets were frozen? they probably didn’t want to risk their lives for food

          That’s what it was, they were frozen solid. It sucked but I wouldn’t have gone out there either. At least I had plenty to eat until it thawed outside

          What? That’s like humanity’s whole shtick. I live my ancestors by always being willing to risk my life for food!

          I will crawl into an active volcano for a crunchwrap. I have literally walked through a jungle and got ringworm for a good Thai curry.

          Some of y’all ain’t living.

              No worries- I probably should’ve just left the comment and added a note explaining the misunderstanding on my end.
