goonie party


Goonie parties eventuated amongst the bored and impoverished, where multiple goonbags were hung on the hillshoist in the backyard. If you wanted a drink, a game of potluck or Russian roulette was involved. Stand under the hillshoist, give it a spin and the goonbag nearest to you when it stops is the source of your next drink. It could be $4 reisling or if your lucky, the $14 grenache.
