Party Crasher

The first party I was scheduled to crash had been canceled,
so I opted instead for an event at the Columbia Tower Club dedicated to
the success (over one million copies sold) of the adult card game Sex!
by Kheper Games. This swanky venue is members-only and required a
disorienting ascent up 75 floors into the Seattle skyline.

Upon my arrival, club personnel immediately told me: “You need some
sex!” My drink options, Sex L’Orange and Chocolate Sex, both
involved Bakon Vodka. The innovators behind the savory alcohol
insisted that I try some straight, without the influence of orange or
chocolate liqueur, and one crouched on the floor to pour me a hearty
shot away from the prying eyes of other partyers. They described their
risky initial investment in 350 gallons of vodka and their plans to
bring their failed wares to friends’ parties for decades to come if the
venture turned out to be unsuccessful. The first batch sold out in
three weeks.

This party was elegant and flashy, filled with corporate types who
were mostly friends of Chris and Brian, the CEOs of Kheper Games. Their
vivacious, London-born lawyer met them randomly while on holiday
playing their game Who’s the Biggest Pervert? Another guest met
the duo during “a drunken blur of Saturday nights,” observing, “Most of
us [at the party] are Microsofties.” The evening was winding down just
before midnight as a highly intoxicated and spittley socialite decided
to tell me who’s who at the party. I left our brief conversation well
informed and drenched.
