not gifts, but i'd throw parties every year with about 50-60 people attending. my 18th had about 100. We had a large yard.

Dayum. I always thought big birthday parties were a Hollywood thing.

i'm a musician. had several larger social groups, and then there's the people who haven't figured out how dorky musicians actually are and think we're cool.

I’m a musician too but back then all I was was extremely socially awkward (we’re talking Bocchi would look normal next to me).

Nah, the hollywood portrayal, outside of everyone looking like 25 year old models, and having stylized dialogue, was pretty on point from my experience.
