No matter how many times I watch clips of her on YouTube and Tivo her live performances at award shows, nothing has come close to capturing the live, in-person Gaga.

These elements of a party include: snacks,  play list, guest list, decorations, libations, and—the most important element as taught to me by my father—flow, i.e., [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kayleighokeefe.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7916386&amp;post=1174&amp;subd=kayleighokeefe&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As my dad always reminds, party flow is the game-changer. Turns out our frat house of a house is perfect for facilitating party flow. Hence, why I probably call it a frat house. Hodgepodge furniture that no one owns is a major plus—you never have to worry about drink spillage or people wiping frosting on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kayleighokeefe.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7916386&amp;post=1193&amp;subd=kayleighokeefe&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Usually, however these cute touches take time, creativity, and money and are underappreciated by the guests. Take Halloween ’08 as a cautionary tale. Halloween can easily be overdone.

This is a MAJOR party winner for Gaga lovers and haters alike because: the music is catchy and, barring a few lines from Paparazzi and Alejandro, upbeat the videos are insane. They generate debate among your guests.
