Cool Stuff at This Year's Party

 

So.... If you partied at Half Birthday the past few years you know that it was pretty great and that there were a bunch of different stations with stuff to do (mostly involving playing games and writing stuff).  This year will likely be similar, but hopefully even better.  Of course, I'm still trying to think up some additional great ideas and preparing for the ones I already have.... but I'll gladly entertain any suggestions you send me...

Food
(funny word, really, when you look at it for any length of time.... or just say "Food" over and over and over and over again....  That's funny, too.)
Games and Activities

This is all subject to change, of course, but this is pieces of the current plan:

 

  • Cornhole (truth)

  • Water Pong (like beer pong, except not really gross)

  • A smattering of video games on a not overly large TV

  • Live Music! (umm.... but it's BYO, so I'm looking forward to your performance.....)

  • Some Sort of Trivia Game

  • Guestbook

  • Eating (see right), drinking (see right), roistering (uproariousness optional)

  • Christmas Tree

  • Submissions for Half Birthday Party Website Vido Blog

  • I dunno.... Send me some ideas.....

  • Creativity Room (contents TBD, but see photos below)

Food for You to Eat

 

  • Grilled Burgers (with stuff like lettuce, etc)

  • Grilled Chicken (with stuff like the burger stuff)

  • (Grilled Portabella can be an option if you let me know that you don't eat animals but do eat fungus.)

  • Grilled Sweet Potatoes

  • Maybe Grilled Corn??  And/or maybe Grilled Squash??

  • Beverages made by combining (sugary-ish) powder with water, such as:

    • Lemonade

    • Sweet Tea

    • Gatorade (or a competitor or a generic brand)

  • Beverages that are just water (such as.... water)

  • Possibly a watermelon.

 

Food that You can Bring

  • Desserts

  • Anything Delicious

  • Anything resembling a Side Dish that might be great with grilled food.  Or better than grilled food.

  • Etc.

  • But only bring something if you want to.  And only if it's delicious.  :)

  • Other beverages.... particularly of the "adult" variety... are BYO.... so BYO if you want to consume such things.

People You Want to Know
Cameo Appearance(s) by My Parents and other really neat relatives and.... (not telling who else....)

One of the many great things about Half Birthday Party is that you will get to meet new people.  And probably a whole bunch of new people.

 

But another great thing about Half Birthday Party is that you don't have to talk to strangers (if you don't want to).  And while it's helpful that everyone you meet is already a friend by the nature of them being at the party, too, you're also welcome to exclusively talk to the people you already knew before you showed up.

 

But since the party will be full of people you want to know (which is the whole point of this section of the webpage), I'm pretty sure you'll throroughly enjoy interacting with at least one other human being (or puppy, if anyone brings one).

Yes, it's true.  My parents plan on being here for Half Birthday Party again this year!  Get Excited.

 

They were grateful for all of the postcards you sent them at the first annual HBP, and they're looking forward to meeting you in person.  Also, my father will probably be helping with the grilling.

 

ps  My Parents also qualify for the "People You Want to Know" category (see left), but since you extra want to know them they get their own category.

 

pps  The picture [from the AFP Hall of Fame] for "People You Want to Know" is not of my parents.... despite the striking resemblance....  and the people in said picture may or may not actually be at Half Birthday Party this year.....
