Esther and Purim Parties

Tonight I read the unabridged version of Esther. It was my first time. Very cool.

This verse jumped out at me: "The Jews vowed and took on themselves and their descendants and on ALL WHO SHOULD JOIN THEM [emphasis mine], to celebrate these two days without fail, in the manner prescribed,and at the time appointed, year after year." (Esther 9:27)

Is this a license to crash Purim parties, or what?
