 Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2008 8:54 pm Post subject: Converting Your Apartment into a Ball Pit |
 |
|
I just had this great idea.
Most of us live in small apartments, so normally, they aren't very good for parties.
But what if one of us got a whole bunch of hollow plastic balls and converted one's room into a BALL PIT?
Imagine how cool that would be, drinking soju and makgeolli and bokbunja as everyone swims around in a ball pit! Even if the entire apartment is only 100 square feet, this seems like it would be kind of fun.
Where do you get ball pit balls in Korea, anyway? |

you are dreaming aren't you?
I can just imagine the ash from the ciggarettes burning the balls and making a huge fire... the spilt drinks... (you will clean the balls everyday?
why not just lease a bar (instead of an apartment) and live in the bar?
then you can party all you want... |

The big problem with ball pits is that they�re expensive. Filling a room costs on the order of $4000, give or take. You can use this calculator (set up by relsqui of #xkcd) to find the cost for a given room. I�d use 64% for the packing efficiency � that�s about what I�ve found.
So given the expense, I didn�t fill my whole room � just an area the size of the bed, to a depth of a couple feet � and even that cost as much as a reasonable couch. The cost was as high as it was largely because Mike strongly recommended crush-proof balls, which allows for a lot more roughhousing but cost about twice as much as regular ones on eBay. |

I once had a vision of turning my pad into a roller disco and actually went as far as trying to find some multi-coloured flashing rope lights and a large glitter ball on Gmarket. However, like most of more ingenious moments of creative clarity, my masterplan soon evaporated once I'd sobered up the next morning.

LMAO!!! 
I always wanted to have an adult only beer party in a McDonald's ball pit play area!!! Would be awful to live in though. Could you imagine what it would be like stumbling around hung over in there trying to get to the bathroom and when you open the door all these balls roll into your bathroom as you enter. You take care of business and then you slip on your balls and have a great fall. I don't think you'd be too hip much longer on ballin in a ball pit as a place to live. |

| It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night. |
