BoogaDope, or Aaron is gonna turn one soon!

As some of you remember, Aaron will be celebrating his first birthday on August 1st, and we can’t think of a better bunch to celebrate with.

Of course, we’re going to be in San Antonio for his actual birthday, so this party is going to be a week late, on August 9th.

So, we’re having a birthday Dopefest for the first Thoroughbred Doper on August 9th, at Fabulous Castell Zappo (motto: James Lileks would kill for this house!) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The menu will be:

[ul]
[li]Burgers and dogs, with veggie patties thrown in for the veggies among us[/li][li]Various cold, mayonnaise-based salads, and if you think I’m gonna make them myself again, you’re insane.[/li][li]A nice fruit salad[/li][li]Mun-cheez[sup]TM[/sup][/li][li]Assorted condiments (no condom jokes, you sickies!), pickles, burger vegetables[/li][li]And, of course, birthday cake and ice cream. The cake will be homemade. Mom insists on this point.[/li][/ul]

Anyone requiring directions may e-mail myself or Zappo, and we’ll be happy to tell you where to go.

Damn! I’ll be in Cape May!

Yeah, where the hell HAS Zap been lately?

I’ll ask Lady Chance about it!

Hey JC, I’ve been lurking a bit but mostly I’ve been lurking on the SDMB and busy over at LiveJournal. Hope you can make it!

Anywho, you’re all more than welcome to come visit my humble shack/swingin’ bachelor pad and celebrate this momentous occasion.

(PS-if you have some spare chairs, bring 'em. Thank you.)

Well, unfortunately, that’s a leetle too far for me to drive in one weekend. Where shall we send cards?

Will have to ask B about this.

Why, pun?

You know you’re going. If we held one in Antarctica you’d start shopping at Land’s End to prepare.

You know we’re already planning on it. The only possible problem is that it might be the weekend of Verrain’s sister and mother’s birthday parties (their birthdays are the 3rd and the 6th). However, they usually do Sunday dinners so it still should be doable.

We may either need to snag a ride with someone passing this way or ask someone to pick us up at Greyhound or Amtrak.

I’ll just be getting back from Brazil but I think I might be able to squeeze something in.

TP if I can swing it, (I’ll know in a day or so) you and Verrain are welcome to catch a ride in the Merosmobile.

Bumping this for the after-work types.

Robin

Meros, let me mention once more what a doll you are. Keep me posted, ok?

bump

Aaron is eleven months old now. He’s started crawling (finally!) and is working on pulling himself up.

::MsRobyn kvells:: ;j

Robin

Damn, has it been a year already? Time flies.

I think I’ll be in Mississippi with Rashad that week, but tell Aaron I said Happy Birthday! :slight_smile:

If we are not going insane trying to pack and move, and maybe even if we are, the Bluesclan will try to be there.

Hmm, we’ll have to see if we can make it. The half of my brain that remebers all of our commitments this summer is still in Baltimore.

bump again…

I just got the e-mail reminding me that Aaron is 50 weeks old, and the party is 3 weeks away.

So who-all is coming?

Robin

We’re definitely in. I can’t wait!

My participation is also very well assured and I will be bringing TruePisces, Verrain, and possibly Cleophus along with me.
Now, this is all provided that I don’t end up getting guinea worms or some other fun ailment while I’m in the DEEP south. :wink:

Cool!

If anyone feels compelled to get a gift, please e-mail me for sizes and stuff.

Robin

Great, why is it that all the parties are on weekends when I will be going the other way? I might be able to make it, but I was planning on being in Columbus on the 9th.
