Yep, it's my birthday today. I'm 33.
I'm not doing much to celebrate: dinner with a couple close friends at Kuma's and then drinks at the Violet Hour. A nice night of decadence.
I'm thinking of throwing a 33-1/3 party, though, with DJs spinning vinyl and stuff. Stay tuned.

Happy birthday!
So, what are you going to do with your Jesus year?

Happy birthday, Huff-man! :)

Both my friend Bob and I have had the 33 1/3 idea. Except I won't be that age for a couple of years, so it'd have to be for Sarah, except she turns 33 1/3 next week, so it's too late for that. And Bob thinks he's going to pass. So I'm glad to hear you're picking up the torch. If you do it, I recommend employing an idea of Bob's: ask everyone to dress up as their favorite record album cover.

Woo! Happy belated! (I think I covered it on Twitter. :) )
