a coconut bra and a grass skirt

Well, that was a hell of a thing! The allergic reaction is finally behind me (instead of on my behind), thanks to modern medicine and the healing powers of the Gulf of Mexico. I've rolled happily from 31 to 32, and I'm hoping to put a fairly sorry year behind me (too many deaths, not enough zines). I've lost home internet access, but I'm back at work finally.

To celebrate all this, plus my friend Leila's birthday next week, I'm throwing a luau at my house on Saturday night. Ever notice that whenever sitcom characters throw a party, odds are good it'll be a luau, but no one you know ever actually invites you to one in real life? We're out to change that. Hawaiian shirts, tiki gods, and inflatable octopii - what could be better? So, if you're a reader and you're in the area and you know where I hang my hat, put on your best island finery and come wiggle your hips at the Fives. BYOB, but there'll probably be some sort of pork based food to eat.

Y'all have fun. I think you are setting the bar pretty high for extending the birthday celebration and for that I can only say...
Yay, you!

Sounds fun. I've been to a number of luaus, including my brother's second wedding. That was fun.

Have a blast!

Extended birthdays are the way to go. If you can't get at least two parties and a big dinner out of it, you're not trying hard enough.

Inflatable sea creatures make everything better! Sounds like a hell of a party -- enjoy, and happy birthday.
