I may just offer to buy them a night at a hotel downtown so I don't have to worry about them, but I don't know if they'd even want that. Plus they may feel like I'm trying to kick them out of their own house.

I don't want to get a bunch of furniture from Kijiji because that will be a hassle to pick up and dispose of. Inflatable furniture I'd be able to just put away the next morning and have it for next year. Plus it would be kind of fun.
I agree that the inflatable furniture could be fun, I was more questioning the bathroom part of it. I thought it was like a back yard party and you didn't want people going in and out of the house.

Ok, i preface this by saying no part of me thinks this is real, but why don't you invite your nieghbours? If they are pissed up in your party garage no issues....

Hand out piss jugs. Funnels for the ladies. Shower curtain in the corner. What's so hard about this?

I invited them last year, but it's really not their scene. My friends and I revert to our 18-year-old selves when we party and I imagine it's quite off putting to an outsider. If you don't show up to go completely overboard, you're going to have a bad time.

What about big crash mats? Couldn't you make some of those pretty easily?

If I could be assured it wouldn't smell, my preference is inside the garage, though, to keep everyone contained and not outside bothering my neighbours as it gets later.
I'd like to her more about this monitoring process (in bold) and its intended execution. What is a reasonable amount of time? How much TP are we talking about? How does one suspect shenanigans? What are its telltale signs? How do you deal with ne'er do wells that travel with their own TP? Will there be full-body pat-downs to ensure they don't get past you? And any chance the garage cat may assist with pre-enforcement?

Sliver starts these threads, but let's be honest, like a interactive theatre they are only as good as crowd participation.

Well Done fatso.

Will the garage cat be attending the function, or will you put him up in a hotel too?

If my neighbour offered to put me up in a hotel so their middle-aged selves could have a high school party I'd tell them right off.

Really? I would thank them for considering others and either A - Take the night at a hotel and have a nice evening with my wife or B - Kindly say that is not necessary and put up with a little extra noise. Maybe I am still old school in thinking you should let your neighbors know that you are having a party and it might be a loud it is the polite thing to do.

Wouldn't you see the intent of it as thoughtful? You're welcome to stay, but you may have a crappy sleep. I think it's considerate of me.

And what does he hope for the guests to do if they require an emergency bowel evacuation?

Plus we haven't really got into where they will barf if the kegger really does get epic.

You could also just not have a garage party/kegger with inflatable furniture. Because you're an adult.

I understand where you're coming from and, if I was them, would appreciate a heads up. I just think offering to send them away is pretty intrusive (i.e. maybe they have plans at home, maybe they hate hotels, maybe they have pets etc.). You give them a heads up, you do your thing, then you be respectful of the noise as the night progresses.

Yeah but foam is actually pretty expensive then I'm still stuck with storing giant crash pads. Keeps coming back to inflatable furniture for me.
