Hey guys, im turning 25 on july 17th and was trying to find something cool to do for the weekend. I was just brainstorming ideas of things to do in this fair city of Atlanta.

I wanted to rent a BMW coupe for a day. This sounds expensive but i've always wanted an M model. I would settle for any luxury sports coupe though.

Maybe something cool downtown. like dinner then going to a club for drinks, or maybe out to the Highlands. dinner and drinks seems so ordinary though.

any unusual suggestions that will help me make it more memorable?

EDIT: if anyone suggests strip clubs i'll e-slap them in the face.

I don't remember doing anything special for my 25th. I suppose I celebrated a little when my car insurance rates went down.

I just had my 25th in May. I went out to dinner with my dad and my family. I didn't even have cake on the actual day. I was still in heavy-duty recovery mode since I'd had my third 1 month and 1 day before. So, yeah, sorry, can't help you much...

I do like ferris wheels at sunset, though. Used to do that on Santa Monica Pier. Got any Ferris wheels near you?

I don't have any real ideas. The aquarium in Atlanta is pretty cool- if you haven't been there check it out.

More importantly though- happy upcoming birthday. Mine is a week from yesterday- I'll be 20. So... yay for July birthdays!

When i go to alanta i watch a lot if girls do back flips, i suggest youd o that it is easily the most fun i have had there.....

And no i was not suggesting a strip-club if you thought so, my cousin is a cheerleader and at practices they do the wave by doing backflips... it's so awesome.. [The Wave]

yeah, i kind of figured after this birthday i wouldnt really want to celebrate the rest of them. so i kind of wanted to go do something cool. turns out they have nice cars like how i wanted for rental, but only at luxury/exotic car rental places and the prices are outrageous (hundreds/day).

my birthday is the 17th and the new batman movie comes out on the 18th. im going to try and see if the IMAX has a midnight showing. so maybe just a free meal from someone somewhere and a movie. not as grandiose as i had wanted, but hey... i've still got a little while come up with something.

Why wouldn't you celebrate later birthdays? I mean, my grandma still celebrates hers, and she's 85. [Wink]
