This is topic It's our eleventy-ninth birthday! We will celebrate (in Maryland) with Veronica Mars. in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
June 2, Columbia, Maryland (near Baltimore), laid-back 1st season Veronica Mars marathon with cake
Three Hatrackers from around here have birthdays in June, and that is a sufficient excuse for an early summer gathering of the Washington, DC clump. I really love the idea of our 82nd birthday, and so I plan on providing a cake with 82 candles. I think they'll need to be lit with a blowtorch. There will definitely be a fire extinguisher nearby.
Anyone is invited. Below is a tentative list of who said they were interested. Post in this thread if you are interested in coming, have ideas for what we can do at a laid-back gathering, want to bring food, or any combination of the above.

I have a June birthday, but I'm just a few hours too far away from Maryland at the moment, though I'll be in your area in two months.
I turn 23 a month from today. Posted by Risuena (Member # 2924) on :
Oh yeah, I'm still interested - even if I'm the non-June birthday. And if any of you 82 birthday peoples have baked goods requests let me know 'cause I like baking and it's much better to bake for other people (because then you're not tempted to eat it all yourself).

You live in Columbia? I grew up there, right aross from Howard General hospital.
Unfortunately my wife's end of the school year party is that day, sounds fun.

That's crazy, -I'm- right around the corner from the hospital, off of Cedar Lane. And that is, incidentally, where the party will be .

Too funny. I went to Swansfield Elementary and Harper's Choice Middle. Would have gone to Wild Lake High, but got stuck in a private school instead.
I was there this past weekend for the wine in the woods. I can't believe how much it has all changed.

My birthday is in June. But do you really want to add 37 more candles? I have digital candles, which I know is a cop out, but we've saved lots of money with them. It's a little LED display with a candle on top.
I don't really have much good ideas on what to bring at the moment. But I do like to bring something, usually something with protein to it like peanut butter/honey/dry milk aggregate or deviled eggs, or possibly cheese. Parties are often long on carbs and short on protein.

If you bring lots of deviled eggs, I will love you forever.
Ni!

Although I am a DC area Hatracker (occasionally, anyway) and my birthday's in June, I don't know any of you people. People from the internet are scary.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
No they're not. Most of those people are real. Okay, so they're still a little scary, but not SCARY scary, just regular freakish scary. Posted by ladyday (Member # 1069) on :
Emailed everyone who expressed an interest with the leet infos...lemmie know if you want to come and didn't get an email from me .
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
I'll be more dinner time, due to a kids' party in the mid afternoon, but I'm excited to see all ya'll again.
Posted by Steev (Member # 6805) on :
I would love to come but I can't make it to this one. The planets just never seem to align for me. Of course it would help if I actually lived closer to the DC area.
Oh, and I'm a little scary but not in the SCARY scary way.

So did pictures of this get posted?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
Very weird, this showed up at the top of the front page without pooka's post. I refreshed and her post was there.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Maybe you managed to click on it in some microsecond between the script that bumps the thread and the addition of the post that bumped it. I swear I didn't do a post/delete/post.

Did you edit? It has the same effect.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
If I did, it must have been for some kind of typo.
