Updates!

Friday, March 23

We'll be heading over to the Clover Club right after work and expect to be there by 4:30pm. We'll be heading over to the movie theater around 6:30pm to get in line. The Hunger Games is sold out!

Saturday, March 24

Hiking is still on! Both Leah and I will be driving, leaving Bay Ridge at 10am to pick those of you adventurous enough to enter New Jersey.

Leah's car: Rose & Amy

Cara's Car: Kim, Rebecca & Bubbles

Please coordinate with your ride beforehand. We'd ideally like to be at the trailhead by 11:30am in an effort to beat the rain (forecast is saying late afternoon). If you are driving yourselves, we're meeting up at Palisades Interstate Park Commission: Alpine Boat Basin & Picnic Area (google maps will take you right to it!).

We recommend bringing the following:

lunch & snacks!

water

comfy, sturdy shoes

a plastic bag to carry out your trash (I'll supply the toilet paper)

camera!

raincoat/poncho (just in case)

Later Saturday, March 24

Due to flagging attendance, the PJ/Slumber party is being... postponed? Let's just say, I'm not cleaning my apartment before this weekend, but if you show up in sweats with a 6 pack, I'll help you drink it in matching style. And let you crash (bonus)!

RSVP!

So that I can make sure we save ya seat, a butt cheek on an air mattress, and even a pancake, shoot me an email at caravango@gmail.com to ensure your participation in my most excellent birthday extravaganza. Please indicate by number if we can expect you (and your +1) at:

1) Dinner & Drinks, Clover Club - Fri. 3/23
