You have to celebrate your birthday because it gives people an excuse for a party. At certain points of the year, these are of the utmost necessity: pre-christmas when summer strikes; at the ends of both exam periods in late June and November; and whenever life gets a bit mundane and samey between of all of these.
However, by late january when mine rolls around, i just want to relax. Christmas was only 4 weeks ago. New Years only three. Its too bloody hot and if you dance you get wet. But this was the first time Liz and I have shared our birthdays (January 23rd and 24th), and we had to celebrate that. So what can you do?
Liz volunteered her family's beach house near mandurah, but how many people will drive an hour to a party that they can't drink at? We thought of hiring a cinema, but without a great idea of what to screen (everyone watching me play NBA Live?) this seems a bit hollow. Ruby St was hosting Australia day later that week, and a place can't withstand two parties in a week.
So everyone-to-the-pub it was.
Thanks to all of you who came up to the Scotsman on saturday and helped celebrate our birthdays. Its kinda cool to have done something, and with as minimal organizing as possible!
