Goodbye parties are weird. On the one hand they are an opportunity to see lots of people that have been in your life over the years. They also present an opportunity to celebrate moving to a cool new place and starting a new chapter of life. That is all really cool. The part that sucks is that it is usually the last time you see most of the people with any regularity. I know when I have to say goodbye to many of you, it is going to make me incredibly sad and I will probably end up crying like a baby and making a fool of myself. But nevertheless, I still want to see as many people as I can the night before I leave.
And birthday parties, well they are a completely different ballgame. They are always a reason to celebrate and have a good time. Since my birthday falls right in the middle move, I figured I would not get to celebrate it. Well dammit I wanna celebrate my birthday too. So I am going to do my birthday and goodbyes on the same night.
Therefore, my birthday/goodbye party will take place on Friday, September 5th. I did not want to fight the defacto Friday night event, so I will be showing up to BHH at Cobalt in DC at 7:00pm. At some point after that I am planning on heading over to
Nellie's with whoever else wants to. There we can get food and hang out for the rest of the evening. The following morning I will be heading out on my final drive to complete my move to Canada. Please come out wish me luck. :)
