French entertaining customs are so interesting; I always enjoy learning about foreign ways of life. This particular topic I never would have thought to research, but it is definitely something I would like to mimic.

This month it is my house and we will just do appetizers and then we will pile around the TV and watch a movie or paint on small canvases and socialize. Maybe both. One good (& fugal) thing about painting is you can always resue your canvas. Especially if you materpiece isn't so much a masterpiece the first time around. ;) My friends & I get together at least once a month at each others house.

These frat guys bring frugal entertaining to a whole new level. Let's see--peeing off the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies prevents carpet wear with trips to bathroom. Icing down beer in bathtub and sink instead of purchasing cooler. "Furniture" is a generic term that can be applied to a beer-pong table/dining tale, empty keg/door stopper, futon/hookah bar. Good news is I won at beer pong. Go figure...luv the post, as usual...Namaste..Kim Kim Ayscue's last blog post..<a href="http://kimayscue.blogspot.com/2008/08/little-changes.html" rel="nofollow">The little changes...</a> When you asked about what is the best tip for frugal entertaining, I immediately thought of a weekend I spent at FSU with my son at his frat house.
