Party Scene
The Allegany party scene is a wild, pleasant, fun, and scattered one. Parties range from break dance battles (on cardboard mats), normal parties, cow punching, and tea parties. Tea Parties are, however, the highlight of the fun scene. Thrown Semi-anually, Master Christopher White throws his alleged "Tea Party of the Century". The authority of White to call this such is disputed however, as it is never clear whether the most recent is cooler than the previous. A copy right violation suit was filed by Elton John, Christopher's childhood hero. The fact that he has thrown 13 in the last 4 weeks has also raised some eyebrows.

Clay Aiken/Lance Bass Fan Club
Founded April 14, 2006, by Zac Barton and Tanner Zembower, this club quickly took off. With the Golden Tiger and the Magic Man at the helm, this club was able to secure funding, ballrooms, and wild animals for sacrifice. The club reached its peak by June however, when controversial reports began trickling in questioning Lance Bass's sexuality. As time progressed, it was discovered -unfourtunately for the club- that Lance Bass as well as Clay Aiken were homosexuals. With little public support the leadership and management talents of the Golden Tiger and the Magic Man began to fail. The club collapsed in upon itself as many members (even foudning members) had no desire to be associated with homosexuality. During the July coup, several hardline members tried to take control (by force) of the club to alter the direction of the club and switching the idols from Clay Aiken and Lance Bass to John Elway and Terrel Davis. The leaders of this coup included Zach "Wolf Meat" Shearin, Drew "Polar Bear" Pande, and John "Big Man" Pande. The coup ultimately failed as the rest of the club did not feel the same about John Elway and Terrel Davis. With little support, and Big Man's relocation to Argentina, the Royal flush - as they called themseles - were forced to give in, and in turn broke away founding the John Elway Football Club. The Golden Tiger and the Magic Man sadly, still stunned by the news of Clay and Lance comming out of the closet, and by "the Royal Flush's" complete disrespect and undermining of their authority, had no choice but to officially dissolve the club on July 29, 2006. Together the Golden Tiger and Magic Man were able to raise $57,542.12 worth of funds.
