Our
friend Tony hosts a party where no talking is allowed. Hence the name, The Quiet
Party...

The Quiet Party
Tired of all the noise? You go to a bar. Music is too loud.
How about a refreshing change of pace? Come to the Quiet Party.
No loud music, no yelling, no cell phones, and one designated area where there
is no talking at all.
Inside the silent room we provide paper & pens.
Pass notes around -- be mischievous, have a little fun, meet some new people!
