abbandonoThis year I'm planning dual-option festivities for my birthday, and I wanted to give ample warning so you can save the dates.
For My Mellower Friends: O-tsukimi, the traditional Japanese moon festival. It's Sunday, October 8, from 7-9pm at the Taniguchi Japanese Garden in Zilker Park. Lots of paper lanterns, beautiful kimonos, and a full moon. Afterward, we'll repair to an as-yet-undetermined location for desserts/drinks. Photos here.
For Those Who Don't Mind Small Crowds: A surrealist birthday party on Saturday, October 14, circa 9pm to ???. Unlike my last surrealism party - which wasn't a failure, but was very low-key - this one will somewhat emphasize the party aspect over the hardcore surrealism aspect. Venue yet to be determined, DJ yet to be determined, but I can promise Sharpie tattoos by Alex, a live performance by the Bill Gates Dance Explosion, and lots of random merriment. Costumes and/or affected personas encouraged, but not required. This will be a great time to try on that sexy Bavarian accent you've been itching to perfect, or wear that fish costume you wore at Halloween 3 years ago, this time while riding a bicycle.
You are of course welcome to come to both if you're so inclined.
I'll have a website up soon to collect RSVPs; for now, just mark your calendar.

Should be great entertainment, though.
