If at first you don't succeed try, try again. If at first you do succeed, then what? (Charlie Sheen)

These parties became a weekly occurrence. They became more exclusive. The bouncer stood there with the holy list, which was actually just a tenant list. People tipped him outrageous amounts to skip the line and he turned it over to us in exchange for meth. People did silly things to get their hands on crystal meth. We continually raised prices but people still wanted more. We kept cover at a hundred bones and pretended to keep the crowd at a hundred. Our party became known as the infamous “hundred” party: hundred dollars, hundred people.
It was raging every Friday night. Molly Ringwald showed up one night after her distant cousin told her about it. We put her on the list and let her cut the line, obviously. She showed up a second time with Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen. I don’t think she was back again. We did see a lot of stars pass through though. Judd Nelson, Don Simpson, even Motley Crue partied there after a concert in Hollywood. Not to brag, but one of them (the guitarist maybe) passed out in my bathroom. I’m not sure what his name was, they all look the same to me. I’m not very receptive to men who yell at me so I’ve never got behind their music.
My lawyer made me remove the name but a young actress got high at a Hundred Party during the initial stages of her drug addiction. Imagine that, the meth Tommy and I made started said star on a downward spiral from which she had to phone home, ahem, if you catch my drift. What? Technically I didn’t say her name. Whatever.
Speaking of what-ever, I became fluent in “valley girl”, which is like totally a language of its own. Seriously, it’s a bitchin’ way to like communicate with other totally bitchin’ people who are like as gnarly as you. As if! Fer sure. Like, like, like.
Anyway, you get the picture. Hundred Parties were fabulous. As people moved out, the price of available units skyrocketed. Everyone wanted to live in the Hundred Party building. It quickly became the most exclusive building in WeHo.
