Now you know how old I am.

So 19 years ago on this date..THIS is what I was doing.

I was having the party of a life time at my parent’s house.

Let’s all take a moment to enjoy the pre-Microsoft Publisher days and my mad cut-n-paste skills on this party flyer….wow.

I remember this party very clearly. I was so paranoid about anything happening to my parents home I didn’t have one sip of alcohol the whole night. Good thing because…

After about 50 more people I don’t remember inviting showed up ,the party got totally out of control, Thespian Brett got in a fight with Creepy Pothead Guy who was not invited and someone ran BLEEDING the length of my parent’s house somehow managing to avoid dripping on the white carpet (but not the white tile). Only 2 people ‘fell’ into the pool. The band played all of three songs before the city shut us down. I remember the police saying the Mayor called it in himself. I had no idea he was a neighbor. I also remember a good friend Kent who stayed behind after everyone left to help me clean. We collected several bags of beer cans and my parents dog was coming out of the bushes with cigarette butts for YEARS after this night. I felt pretty popular after this night. Throwing yourself a party can do that for you I guess.

I am thinking this party must have left a strong impression on me.

Because I have never had a birthday party ever again.

Apparently one was enough.
