Tell her it was cancelled because the person who's throwing the party's parents found out, and then just sneak out and go. You'll get **** the next morning, but you'll already have had your fun.

Or you can just lie and say you're going somewhere else that night.

It's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

you should be doing whatever the hell you want and not asking your mom's permission for anything. the less she knows, the better.

If you can't even outwit your mom then you're completely hopeless.

What would she do if you went anyway? Did she ever control your dad like this? Do you have a history of alcohol abuse?

How did your mother find out about this party in the first place? Did you tell her?

Another vote for telling her it's canceled and sneaking out.

Hmm how old are you exactly? Because If I understand your comment about NY state correctly you're under 21 but over 18 and I'm feeling quite disturbed about the thought of a somewhat grown man lacking that much balls. Why would you even talk to your mother at this age? You're supposed to be out of the house anyway, especially if your mother is annoying!!

Trust is always important. If you go, tell her before hand. Don't deceive her.
