by Kristie Rohwedder

Is it 2015 already? Wow. Where do the years go, am I right? You know what this means, don't you? Of course you do! You're no dolt. Of course you know Aaron’s Party (Come Get It), pop star Aaron Carter's sophomore album, celebrated its fifteenth birthday on Sept. 26. Of course you know that this is a major milestone. A milestone worth celebrating. A milestone that deserves not just any party, but an Aaron’s party. And not just any Aaron’s party, but a party inspired by the titular track. One "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" party, coming right up!

If you were looking for an "Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)" party/LARPing adventure how-to guide, you came to the right place. Get your pens, your papers, and your white Nike tennis shoes ready, because I'm about to tell you how to throw the party of the month. Nay, the party of the year.
