72. I live in a gated community w/ a pool and I've never heard of selling

"birthday sessions". Our HOA rules say that you can only have three guest at the pool or in the common area. But....if you are having a larger party, all you need to do is advise the other residents by posting on the community mail box and letting the management company know. (inviting all 36 homeowners doesn't hurt. ) Very simple.
I've been here nearly 20 years and have seen everything from teen parties to wedding receptions. And yes, there were a couple times the cops had to be called. As a matter of fact I called at least once myself.

But there is absolutely no excuse for what happened in McKinney.
