- Here's Your Party Ticket!
VirtualRentParty.com was originally created as a fundraiser for some good friends who confided that they had fallen behind on their mortgage payments and had received a Notice of Default. I said, "Why not throw a rent party?"
Rent Parties flourished in Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s. Musicians made the rounds after their paying gigs, guests paid a small admission fee to dance and party all night at someone's apartment, and the residents of the apartment made enough money to pay the landlord for another month.
In order to attract a large number of paying guests, hosts advertised their parties using "rent party tickets".
Often, they enlisted the printing services of the "Wayside Printer", an entreprenuer who walked the streets of Harlem, pushing a cart with his portable printing press. For a modest fee, the printer stamped the party information onto tickets about the size of a business card.
These tickets usually identified rent parties using such terms as "Social Party", "Social Whist Party", "Parlor Social", or "Matinee Party".
Hosts would distribute these tickets to friends, neighbors, and even strangers on the street corner.
My friends worked like crazy and got back on track without my help; and the website VirtualRentParty.com was repurposed into a multi-site network to house marketing promotional materials for the homes and apartments that we lease out.
