Welcome toEvil Week, our annual dive into all the slightly sketchy hacks wed usually refrain from recommending.
Weve got all the info you better be successfully unsavory.
Heres how to do it.
Lets look at each one individually.
First, venture to get on the guestlist
How did you find out about the party?
Was it a friend who mentioned it or something you saw online?
Just send a brief email like, Confirming my attendance, thanks!
and sign it with your full name.
This truly and honestly works a lot of the time.
Some staffer will just add your name instead of digging too deep into it.
Can I get added to the list?
Closed mouths dont get fed.
First, learn as much as you’re able to about the event you want to go to.
When is it and how long does it run?
Where will it be held?
How do you get there, and how many entrances are there?
Part of your homework should be on the dress code.
If you arent sure what to do, overdress.
Theres one exception to this rule, though: exclusive nightclubs.
Now comes the difficult partgetting inside like youre a natural.
Your first step is to pick the best point of entry.
Act natural, and walk up like you know the place and you know whats up.
What are you here for?
is a common one, so ensure you know the name of the event well.
Who are you with?
If you saw the real invite somehow, hold up a screenshot on your phone.
Ask, in a patient but semi-annoyed tone if theres someone you’re able to talk to.
As people wait behind you, pressure will mount.
Have a backup plan if it’s crucial that you try more than once.
Dont get anyone in trouble; just let them know it was rough.
A little empathy goes a long way, and youll earn a future ally.
When you leave later, see if you could go out the way you were denied entry in.
The goal is to make them doubt their decision to rebuff you, not get revenge.
That way, the next time they see you, theyre more willing to talk.
Attitude counts for a lot.
They can even send a message to the organizer on your behalf next time.
