The Everything Guide to Partying (Without Regrets)www.nytimes.com Forty-three highly sociable people, from Ivy Getty to Rufus Wainwright, offer tips on how to be a stellar guest and a gracious host. Read this before you say yes to the next invitation.

Here, I shall procrastinate on my current work task by sharing a few thoughts on this nonsense. First - ok, I get it, you're cool, but like seriously? You don't show up high to a party, you get high *at* a party.

okay, this is actually decent advice, although no host who isn't a wealthy snob will be irked by the question. my advice is just bring a bottle of something, or cheese. or bake vegan cookies, if vegans are in your crew.

this is the point at which I began to ask "who exactly is this article for?"

ok ok always trust a journalist to back me up. Harry, I don't know you, but I appreciate you repping the ADHD folks at the party. I see you.

this is good advice and also works really well at work conferences, especially when you've just gotten off stage and feel cornered.

Athena, honey, I appreciate the thought, truly, but where's the advice? I hate being asked what I do too, so my tip is to either say "that's a boring question, let's talk about X" (where X = anything but Elon Musk's platform) or just make something up, or otherwise pivot gracefully.
