The Party
It's spring break. For grownups, that doesn't mean much besides plenty of Westside kids milling about L.A. with nothing to do for the next two weeks and access to an empty place to throw a party.
On Saturday night, that empty place was on the 1300 block of Holmby Avenue, a neighborhood identified by some news outlets as Holmby Hills but is actually probably Westwood. When a nearby fiesta in Beverly Hills was broken up, word got out via Twitter and Facebook that the Holmby Ave. house, where the kid who lives there was home hanging out with friends, was an acceptable alternate site. From there out, friends started texting and tweeting everyone they knew, and the rest is Westside party history.
The revelers arrived "like a swarm of bees,"
according to a hilarious LA Times article (more on that later), and it would take several extra uniformed policemen in riot helmets to disperse the estimated 500+ person crowd. Credit where credit's due, that sounds like a hell of a party. Except for the fact that law enforcement was only 15 minutes behind the "swarm" to stomp that would-be party out.
