A young woman who was a guest at Ben Harper’s birthday party has told the National Post that no one was “seriously intoxicated” at the pool party at 24 Sussex Drive. As reported yesterday, an unnamed girl, 18, was taken to hospital apparently drunk from outside the residence. The call came early Sunday morning after the Saturday house party. The guest who spoke to the National Post said there were about 20 of Ben’s friends and sports teammates present, many wearing swimsuits. “It was just a hanging out, a get-together,” said Devon von Eicken-Bursey, whose boyfriend plays volleyball with Ben. “There was some drinking and mixing and stuff,” but no one who appeared to be seriously intoxicated, von Eicken-Bursey said. “We were all very controlled.”
