Celebration suggestions needed.

Cadaverous Pallor · 04-09-2007, 09:18 PM

So.

I have a big birthday coming up. My twenties are drawing to a close.

I really have no idea what I want to do. Nice restaurant, just me and the husband? Nah, thankfully, we get to do that a lot. Big crazy party at my place? Nah, did that for the housewarming not too long ago. Some sort of swanky outing with swanky friends? Maybe, but it has to be really special....

Yeah, I'm a picky bastard, and now I'm running out of time. I'd love to celebrate it with a large group in an interesting way but I'm no good at coming up with ideas. I could totally go with a smaller group too, but that means deciding a guest list, and with so many cool people in my life, that's a tough call.

Complication - I'm slated to work that Saturday until 6pm. We're understaffed at the moment, and we'll have just opened two weeks before, so that would be extremely hard for me to wiggle out of.

I already fear I've waited too long, as we're less than a month away, and now the other possibilities are piling up. Snowflake will be in town (yay!)and there's that LA Modernism show JW just posted about, which looks awesome, but with Snowflake's meet on Sunday and my work schedule, I can't possibly go.

I'm totally hapless at the moment. Ideas, suggestions, advice - no matter how crazy - are all appreciated.

I might just stay home and let it pass....it's less bother.

You should definitely do something that you'll remember. How about something really unusual like a picnic or going sailing? (with friends, of course)

Have you thought about dinner theater? It is a bit more costly, but a lot of fun. There's Medieval Times,

the new Pirates-Dinner-Adventure-Theater down the street form it, as well as:

Joey & Maria's Comedy Italian Wedding 800-944-5639 You will dance, sing, eat and laugh as a guest at an anything-but-traditional Italian wedding. Performances are every weekend. Best Western Courtesy Inn - Anaheim

Or Brain Brew - Murder Mystery Party

Hell, come over to my house, I'll throw on some costumes, make grilled cheeses for everyone and charge 20 bucks a head!

How about a classic beach blanket bonfire? You can still do that here

CP, why don't you rent an electric boat and cruise around newport harbor? It's a nice way to drink wine (or fuzzy water) and relax with friends.

It's have to be a pretty big bonfire to keep me warm in early May at the beach. BTW, you can have bonfires at Huntington Beach as well, in Orange County.
