"Best $2k I Ever Spent!" What You're Secretly Accomplishing At A Pool Party

1. Lamping

I'm a firm believer in everyone needing a certain amount of "lamp" in their life to have a well-rounded, balanced week. A true lamp session involves a few things: 1) more than just being in a state of repose, you have be to comfortably splayed across a surface, 2) wherever you are at the time is the destination, no sense of feeling like you need to move or be somewhere else should occur, and 3) everything you may possibly need while lamping is either within arms reach or can be brought to you.  Given these requirements, weekend pool parties present the perfect opportunity to log in one's sufficient weekly lamp time.
