PARTY: Forever's Gonna Start Tonight
Everyone, please join me and our host for the occasion, Lisa Miller,
for the following:
- My 25th Birthday
- The big 2-5
- A quarter-century of Dan
- My silver anniversary with myself
- The fact that I'm one-third of the way to my bi-sesquicentennial
In short, I'm turning 25. Join me as I drink away the pain*.
DETAILS
When – Saturday, June 4th at 8 PM
Where – 1841 N. Hermitage, Hermitage & Cortland – buzz the name "Miller".
The apartment is also across the street from the giant Opus Dei
church, so just look for domes and spires, as we ll as the sounds of
angels from Above. Lisa's is easily accessible by CTA (figure it out here), and is right off the Kennedy.
Other – The party is BYOB. Bring friends, too. Rumour has it that a piñata will be present.
FAQ (aka extraneous jibber-jabber that may not prove amusing to anyone but Dan)
Q. What can I bring?
A. See above – bring your friends, your neighbors, your neighbors' friends and your friends' neighbors. And beer/wine/gutrot/mead/bathtub gin/etc.
Q. No, jerk, I meant for your birthday. As in, a birthday present.
A. Oh, my bad. In that case, I like birthday cards. You can bring me one of those.
Q. Will there be any of your lovely culinary creations?
A. No, not this time. It's my birthday and I'm taking the night off.
Q. Do you really need to use a water bath when baking a cheesecake?
A. Actually, yes you do. See, a cheesecake can be very temperamental, and since most ovens don't heat evenly… wait, you're just trying to wind me up, aren't you?
Q. Does the US have a real strategy of dealing with North Korea and their potential nuclear arsenal?
A. Um, I don't think that this is quite what I had in mind with this FAQ, and the answer is complicated, too. Read these articles and we'll discuss it at the party.
Q. Does mozzarella di bufala really come from buffalo?
A. Yes, a water buffalo – and what does this have to do with my party!?
Q. So, you're the one asking questions now? Doesn't that turn this whole FAQ paradigm on its head? Dude, that blows my mind.
A. Well, you're an idiot. It blows my mind that evolution hasn't taken you out of the gene pool yet.
Q. Ouch, that was mean. I don't even believe in evolution; it's called Intelligent Design, dude. And you didn't even answer my question. Are you going to be this crabby at your party?
A. Fine, sorry I called you an idiot. And no, I won't be this crabby at the party.
Q. Will this be one of those 'key parties' like in Ice Age?
A. Okay, a) the movie is called "The Ice Storm" and b) now you're just being facetious. I'm done with your questions.
Q. No, really, I want to know – do I need to dress to impress?
A. I said I was done. I'll see you at the party.
Rock on, bitches.
