I got a nice long hedonism weekend in for Memorial Day, bookended by getting to see my daughter on her way to and from a festival. It reminded me that perhaps my first ever hedonism weekend was also over Memorial Day, when I was 17 and visiting friends in college who were throwing a housewarming party. It was the first time we had a place where we didn't need to worry about parents or dorm staff or cops and WOW did we take advantage of it! Lots of fun, lots of drama. I mentally took anthropological notes to use to fit in when I went to college. (The cops did show up, and it was not the first time they would be there that summer, but were not interested in breaking up the party. They just wanted the fistfighting to move inside.)
(Cops also showed up at one of this year's events; I was not envisioning that still being a thing at my age, but here we are!)
