Party Wednesday: Mythbusters

            I have to great pleasure of seeing Mythbusters Live this coming Saturday.  So instead of the traditional game theme, why not do Mythbusters.  Now this isn’t your traditional birthday party for a kid; this one is for adults.

                       

Décor

            This one is fairly simple compared to the past parties.  All you will need is a garage, some work benches and a black board.  Be sure to sweep up the garage and make sure it is fairly clean.  Clean up your work benches and disinfect, it’s where your food and drinks are going.  Any tools or random parts place on shelves and walls. 

            For the black board, hang up on the wall and write Mythbusters or science stuff on it-or for fun just write Science Stuff in big letters.  Here is a beautiful store that not only incorporates the chalk board idea but has a clean garage look to it too.  Side note, if I had a garage I would want it to look like this:

                I never really talk about plating or glass wear but for this party, it needs a science touch.  For plates I’m think tin or silver;

            And for glass wear beakers, are a couple of varieties you can use.  You can purchase any of these items online.

            Before I dive into food and drink we are miss a few key things from the show.  The first being Buster!  Now obtaining or buying a real crash test dummy is expensive but I found an inflatable mannequin that would work as a substitute.  All you would need to do is paint him.

            No Mythbusters’ show would be complete without explosions.  Buy fireworks to set off, if you wish, please review your cities laws regarding fireworks.  You can also have people try some myths that they did on the show.  Here some links:

Explosions, explosions, explosions.  That’s what I get out of Mythbusters.  I will let everyone know how the show was on Monday.  If you have suggestions or pictures of your own themed party, please share and send them to me.  See you on Friday for another rant or next week.
