How To Crash A Party, Cheat A Cancer Charity Out Of Money, And Get A Lifetime's Supply Of Bad Karma

Jun 2, 2010 12:11 PM

Man, this guy's got balls! Priyantha Silva, New York's most infamous party crasher doesn't let ANYTHING keep him from getting into a party or benefit, no matter how morally questionable his methods are. Last week he cheated a cancer charity out of money. Here's how he did it...-

How To Crash A Party, Cheat A Cancer Charity Out Of Money, And Get A Lifetime's Supply Of Really Bad Karma

Step 1: Don't Be Intimidated By An Intimate Setting

Last Sunday, May 22nd, the Young Philanthropists of the  Cancer Research Institute held a very small dinner for only 50 people at Tela in the Meatpacking District. Most would-be crashers would be hesitant about crashing such a small party, where SURELY most people know each other. Not Silva! The smaller the party, the bigger the party crashing coup!

Step 2: Be Indignant About Not Being On The Guest List

Obviously Silva wasn't on the Guest List--but he did a good job acting both shocked and annoyed at the error, thereby flustering the poor PR person at the door.

Step 3: Offer A Fake Conciliatory Solution

Now that the poor PR person is surely thinking they'll be fired, sigh, and grudgingly offer a compromise. Silva told the door person that since they obviously hadn't received the check he sent in, he would give him his credit card number as collateral.

Step 4: Know The Guest List. Invent Fake Friendship With Someone Important

Silva of course knew all the right names ahead of time: he told the people at the door that he was friends with someone on the Council.

Step 5: Keep Cool If Your Cover Gets Blown

When said Council member came over and asked "Do I know you?", Silva didn't flinch. He quickly rattled off  a string of names of "friends in common", thereby utterly confusing the council member.

Step 6: Be Sure To Brag About Your Fake Career

Silva didn't ACTUALLY produce the Academy Award winning film, Crash, but it certainly made a good ice breaker!

Step 7: Never, Ever, Ever Give Out Your REAL Credit Card Information

Days after the benefit, CRI still hadn't gotten Silva's check, so they ran his Credit Card Info. Declined.

Don't look so smug, Priyantha. Karma's a bitch.

Funny how GofaG, a website which actually caters to the Crasherazzi is now complaining about them. Since we're on the topic however, let's out a few, especially the ones who crash benefits. GROSS!

A couple of the people making comments on here just come off sounding jealous and bitter with an axe to grind. Maybe some people are allowed to attend events and parties as they look presentable, are personable, and add something to the event. The people that have been mentioned on here are probably very nice people for the most part with maybe the exceptions of Silva and Sands. But everyone knows their story by now I'm sure. These events are given for people to have a good time and promote products or services.

@Goodtimes agreed that crashing some b.s. p.r. driven promotional event in a store or a club is no big deal however "nice people" do not crash private events in peoples homes or charity benefits.

I've noticed some posts from shadowy people claming 'HES AT EVERY PARTY". Well how would they know unless they are at every party themselves. If you want to be taken seriously: leave your name like I do, don't hide behind annonyminity.

I said "SHE's" Annonyminity is best and quite fun! Besides, companies give me clothes to wear to charity events. If I speak out out of turn. they may not want to give me clothes anymore. duh! In the mean time. I'll be that girl at the party.

OK. Let's make this post constructive. 1. It is ok to crash a p.r. sponsored promotional event as long as you "look the part". There are no standards at these things anyway and they exist purely to push crap clubs, periodicals, troubled real estate and consumer product. Please don't be a pig though at goodie bag time. One per customer! 2. It is NEVER ok to crash a benefit. If a friend is on a benefit committee or board you are invited to BUY A TICKET to support that charity. If a friend buys a ticket and transfers it to you it is ok to use their name with their permission but still a bit tacky since you should SUPPORT THE CHARITY or else not attend. If you are a middle aged guy who loves young women...fine, then buy the grown up ticket and hang for the after party when the fossils leave and the birds fly in. 3. It is only OK to show up ininvited to a house party with the consent of the host and only if you are accompanied by someone invited. In these circumstances you should ALWAYS bring a bottle or something (not just a crackin bootie) and be sure to be social, gracious and greet and thank the host and RECIPROCATE by entertaining the host in your home. 4. Nightclubs are generally hellholes best avoided but if you choose to mingle with lowlives.....go ahead and knock yourself out be beware of violent knuckleheads, date rape, tranquilizers, purse and cell phone theft etc...There are no etiquette rules about getting in these places. Anything is permitted; lying, sneaking in thru the kitchen, thru fire exits, stealing names off the guest list read upside down, entering thru exits after "leaving for a smoke", a simple bumrush etc...

An FYI to I Know Who You Are, Velvet Ropes Flake and anyone else, who thinks they can anonymously post hate filled lies about people: you should be aware that there have been numerous recent court cases for defamation against commenters and websites that post negative and/or false statements about someone. Guest of a Guest is bound by law to release your information upon request to the subject of your defamatory statement's. So do not think that you can smile in Courtney and Tia's face and then hide behind nasty negative posts. From the looks of your comments, I am correct in assuming that you are just jealous partycrashers, which is very sad for you, but does not allow you to libel other people just for sport. PS: I can assure you that I am not Courtney. I am a friend, actually her oldest friend who has known her for years,even before she moved to NY and I informed her about the idiotic lies that were being posted and replied because I know them to be lies. I know, your new statement doesn't even make sense. You know nothing about her PR or business relationships and are just both hating and speculating

i'm suprised G of a G allows people being defamed here. G of G is liable. Posts that explicitly name people should be removed.

I see that most of the defamatory remarks about decent people have been removed, as they should be. But G of a G missed a few.

This idiot crashed a party last week. A party that was for a charity that helped some of the sickest children in the city - most of them needing 24/7 care. We had a silent auction and this bastard had the audacity to place a high bid and win a PRADA bag. Fake check and fake credit card. If I ever see this man, he will have a huge problem on his hands. If anyone knows of his whereabouts, please post. I am absolutely furious. He basically stole over a $1000 from sick children.
