The Cheap B-Day Party


Well, I aged another year this past week. I was going to spear head that party at a bar, but I decided last minute that while a day of people buying me drinks was a lovely gift and even better idea was to have the b-day bash at home for these reasons:

1) People don't just buy you a drink, they bring you a bottle and this, my friends, is truly the gift that keeping on giving -- not just for yourself -- but for the whole party! Nothing creates a more awesome and diversified alcohol spread than just having people bring alcohol to your home. Wine, beer, liqour -- at the end of the night, if you're lucky, you end up with some leftovers.
2) I can control the music by being my own personal DJ and listen to all the tunes I want all night long. What kills a party more than having to listen to tunes that you despise? Yes, 99 Below, I'm sorry, but I am thinking of you. Plus, you don't have to feed five bucks into some lame jukebox machine to get seven tunes in a row that you like.
3) We can create a great an easy food spread by just wrapping everything you can think of in bacon.
4) At the end of the night, I don't have to go anywhere -- I'm already home. Sure as hell saves me money on that car service home.

So another year has passed, another birthday was bashed, and hey, I think most people saved alot of money sharing the drink than buying the drink.
I must give a shout out to Sycamore -- We did stop by there for a drink before the party and the awesome bartender gave me two happy drinks for the bday for free.
