One of the things I like to do that is fun for me and allows me to engage in my hobbies, while partying at the same time, is go to conventions.  Now for those who aren't automatically going, "ok yeah, I know those", I guess I should explain.  These aren't your work related conventions where you sew the latest and greatest that companies in your field have produced.  The only think these conventions have with those are the facts that they are in hotels and you tend to drink a lot.  The Conventions I frequent are more often called Cons and they are fan based and mot worked based.  They can be Sci-Fi and Fantasy Cons or for specific sub cultures like Goths.  They are basically a lot of fun to attend and take pictures at.  The final results of which are linked below.
