First, if Latinos are throwing a party, it basically means everybody and their mom is invited.
2.
You are greeted with a ~kiss~ on the cheek.
3.
Guests arrive with a bunch of friggin' bolsas, 'cause everybody brings plenty of snacks and cervezas.
4.
There's just a ton of ice. People love to bring ice.
5.
There's probably a cornucopia of exotic snacks in sight.
6.
People are not shy dancers.
7.
Like, they just let loose.
8.
The music is varied: rock, reggaetón, bachatas, salsas, and rancheras.
9.
Everybody starts kinda dancing together, en bola and in a circle.
10.
Your friends won't let you leave "early"...
11.
...which is good, since música para bailar pegaditos plays a lil' later in the night.
12.
Time suddenly becomes irrelevant.
13.

14.
The room will slowly clear out until it's just you and your closest buddies...
15.
...and for one reason or another, you just have to remind them how much you love them.
16.
Somebody's cousin shows up at 5 a.m. like it's 11 p.m.
18.
And finally, when your legs go out on you, you decide it's time to head home.
A Latino party is totally different and pretty invigorating. You know what else is refreshing? Una Coors Light bien fría.
