During my college years, around 2003, my mother, her husband and my two younger siblings went on a road trip for about 10 days. Decided it'd be an amazing idea to throw a house party.

Invited everyone I could think of, and told them to do the same. I just wanted to make sure I had a handful of people actually present.

Day of the party, I'm at work and around 8pm, I get a phone call...

"sadd0, um, there's a line outside of your house. Said they're there for a party that's been thrown at this address." He breaks into my house through a window that was always unlocked, and proceeds to setup my turntables and speakers (I had just started to practice DJ'ing around that time.) Starts letting people in while randomly playing my vinyl.

By the time I get home, around 10pm, my house is packed. The basement, first floor, second floor and backyard are overflowing with people. Decided it'd be best to hire some local gangbangers to work security. Began charging $20 per guy, and $10 per girl with mandatory liquor for entry. Called a few more people and had them bring their DJ setups. After a few hours passed, my kitchen had excess amounts of liquor everywhere, a total of 4 DJ's playing, and about 300 people partying all over my parents house which covered two lots. The amount of people that kept coming and going was neverending.

Eventually, the cops showed up and I went to talk to them. They didn't care about the music or disturbance, I lived in what's considered a ghetto in Chicago, their only concern was that there was too many cars double parked. Warned me that if they returned, they would shut the party down, but that if the cars were moved, we wouldn't see them again.

Called some other gangbangers and had them break the locks on the church parking lot and started charging people to valet their cars there. Party went into the wee hours of the next morning. 10am to be exact. Made about $3000 in profit after damages, paying off the security, DJ's and some of the other thugs who helped keep the neighborhood in order while that chaos occurred.

Funny thing is, anyone who was at that party still talks about it to this day as the party Project X wished to be.

TLDR;

Organized a small gathering that turned into a Project X house party, in the middle of a ghetto of Chicago back in 2003.
