SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Some of the most elegant addresses in all of Atlanta are found in this wealthy enclave. Sprawling mansions that occupy 2- to 10-acre lots are home to some of the city's most prominent residents.
They were shocked last month when a massive Halloween party exploded in their midst. More than 1,000 people jammed the streets around the brick-and-rock mansion, paying $20 apiece for admission and riding shuttle buses from the parking lot of a nearby Publix grocery, police say.
"It was one of those things, be careful what you wish for," says Sandy Springs police Lt. Steve Rose. "(The event promoter) got a lot more than he expected. It became a gridlock issue with traffic."
Police say the party had been heavily promoted at Georgia State University in Atlanta and at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton. Food and alcohol were being sold inside the six-bedroom mansion.
"It was unbelievable," says neighbor Kathy Battaglia, a user-support analyst for an accounting software firm. "The noise over there was so loud it may as well have been in our house. It sounded like the whole party was in the front yard and on the front porch."

ReplyDeleteThat's just raw funny! LOL!
I have thrown many parties like that; good times. Plus you don't have to clean up the beer and barf afterward.

ReplyDeleteCan't sleep at too much tonight. Tuna sandwiches and beer!
The key to parties is to invite women only. I had a New Years Eve party two years ago with almost all women, and my house was actually cleaner AFTER the party than when it started. I'm the man who loves women.
