It wasn't a way to pay rent or anything, but we lived in this punk
house where there were like 10 people living in this big house, so rent
was really cheap. But then we'd get these gigantic heating bills for
oil, and we'd freak out and be like "what are we going to do?" and we'd
throw a giant house party and have all our friends come out and play.
There was a half pipe in the back yard. Someone would make fritters,
someone would make vodka slushies, and we'd get a keg and charge
everyone a few bucks at the door and it'd be this big "Oil Bill Party.
