Okay, so someone mentioned this “erin gall party” thing to me the other week. Sounded kinda interesting, maybe a bit posh? I dunno. Erin Gall? Is that a person? A place? A type of drink? No clue, honestly. But hey, I like trying new stuff, figured I’d look into it.
My First Steps Down the Rabbit Hole
First thing I did was try to google it. You know how it is. Typed in “erin gall party”, “what is an erin gall party”, “how to throw erin gall party”. Got basically nothing useful. Just a jumble of unrelated stuff. Maybe some random person named Erin Gall had a party once and it popped up? Seriously, the internet failed me on this one. It felt like searching for a ghost.
So, googling was a bust. Plan B: ask around. Mentioned it to a few friends. Blank stares mostly. One guy thought I misheard something. “Are you sure it wasn’t ‘earring gala party’?” he asked. Nope, pretty sure they said Erin Gall. Another friend joked maybe it was a party where everyone had the gall to show up dressed as someone named Erin. Funny, but not helpful.
Getting Nowhere Fast
At this point, I was just annoyed. Why name something so weird if nobody knows what it is? Is it like some super secret cool kids club? Or did I just completely imagine hearing it? Started doubting myself, you know?
I even thought, okay, maybe I’ll just invent what an Erin Gall party is. Like, make up my own rules. Maybe it involves specific colors? Or a weird type of music? I spent like an hour brainstorming:
- Maybe it’s Irish themed? (Erin connection?)
- Maybe it involves something bitter? (Gall connection?)
- Maybe everyone has to bring a weird plant?
Sounded kinda dumb when I thought about it more. How do you invite people to a party you just made up the rules for based on a name you don’t understand? “Hey, come to my Erin Gall party! What is it? Uh… bring something… green? And maybe be slightly sassy?” Yeah, right. Recipe for disaster.
Hitting a Wall
So, the whole erin gall party investigation just fizzled out. Put in the effort, tried to figure it out, asked around, even tried to get creative. Nothing. Zip. Nada. It’s like the project at my old job where management wanted this “synergistic blue-sky solution,” and nobody, not even the managers, could explain what the heck that actually meant in practice. We just wasted weeks trying to guess.
Maybe that’s what the “erin gall party” is. Just some random phrase someone threw out there that doesn’t actually mean anything specific. Or maybe I’m just totally out of the loop. Either way, my journey to understand or experience an erin gall party ended before it even really began. Just another one of those weird, unexplained things, I guess. Moved on. Got other stuff to do than chase ghosts.
