The Aftermath
So, in retrospect, can we really even call this party a success? I'd say the organizers seem to think so despite the fact that it was over even before it started. But not so much for
this girl, who got arrested,
apparently grounded, and later sent out a mournful, "worst spring break ever, straight up"
tweet. On the bright side, sweetheart, in college there are plenty of opportunities to have a far worse spring break than this one. Havasu 2014!
So really, the only thing making this party as great as it purportedly was is the fact that the news media can't stop talking about it. Which, if your goal is to try to get kids not to do it again, seems somewhat counterproductive, don't you think? See this comment from a friend on "Billy's" wall:
If throwing an epic house party that would make waves was the intended goal, even if it never really was and consisted of no more than 15 minutes of shuffling around Holmby Hills/Westwood for a quick waltz with the po-po, then they certainly achieved that. So congrats to "Billy Hoyle" and friends, you got your moment in the sun, and hopefully you're not in too much trouble. Let's just hope that somewhere, somehow, Mindy Newman was able to finish that Steve Jobs biography.
