Bonelli Contemporary




These are the folks that brought you the Banana Dacquiri Seance. This first game is Bush, Bush Revolution. Much like the original game, you dance around on a dance pad, trying to get your timing down. But this time, you dance around trying to match Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Condi's heads as you stamp on them. Now that's good fun.
The ideas for the latest installment are rather simple, and as follows...

GAMES AND FREE BOOZE!

Rules Help Control the Fun

Rules Help Control the Fun celebrates the party game in all of its glorious variety. Games
have long provided a focal point for social interaction, engaging the outgoing and awkward
alike and transforming those with seemingly nothing in common into comrades, opponents,
winners, and losers. Fittingly, each game presented will therefore be paired with that other,
better-known social lubricant.

Rules Help Control the Fun is hosted in conjunction with "Party Favors," curated by Holly Myers for Bonelli Contemporary, Los Angeles.

3:30pm
Celebrity
Cocktails & Mixed Drinks

Also known as the Name Game, this is perhaps the perfect party game,
premised on shared knowledge and combining obscure references,
performance skills, improvisation, strategy, and trash-talk. (Per usual
for Angelenos, the concept of "celebrity" will remain a fluid one.) We will
play the dreaded three-round version (standard clues; one-word clues;
charade clues). Celebrity War and Celebrity Sex War, two highly intuitive
variations, will likely follow.
