I've heard they were at - or hosting - a party, too. When all people had were landlines, I remember the drill was that you phoned someone's number and if they weren't in, then whoever answered would tell you where they thought they'd gone and most likely gave you another number to try, or you had the other person's number anyway. We just used to ring around until we found people or got a message to them to 'phone home'.
