Marty Party
I can't believe nobody on PlanetInfo has blogged this yet...come on y'all, look alive! ;-) I'll just blog the part of it that I found interesting, and I'll depend on the rest of you to fill in blanks as you see fit.
So Marty's party was initially to be of the regular ol' holiday variety, until he came upon the insight that Nick, in his 32 years of life, has never had a birthday party. Of course, this meant that a surprise party had to be thrown. A team of us went to lunch one day at Roots and made some plans. The main idea was that we'd be having a regular birthday party when, all of a sudden, we'd break into stories about how we remember actually being at Nick's birthday party each year, proving that he was lying about never having a party thrown for him. As each person told their story, they were to give Nick a memento to help him remember the event. Of course, none of the stories were to be true...half the fun is in the fabrication.
It went off without a hitch. Simply brilliant. From Jesse's story of Nick's first birthday...featuring brownies served in a diaper...straight through to the end, I thought it was amazing.
Well done everyone. All the fabricated stories were quite entertaining...creative and funny people you all are. I'm glad we could all come together and do that for our friend. Happy Birthday, Nick.
By the way, that was the second surprise birthday party I attended of the day. Earlier we surprised Will for his upcoming birthday. Also a lot of fun. Happy Birthday to you as well, Will. :-)
