Argentinan here. 38 yo.
"Parties" Are now dinners with friends, no more than 10. Many of them has child's so is hard for everyone to go, but we do some meetings.
As professional, parties moved to After offices, until pandemic, no more than 1 or 2 hours in a bar with colleagues (even we had the adminbeers for sysadmin community). That was really nice.
Anyway I'm moving to Chicago, so just tell me when you wants to do a BBQ.
