I can't thank enough all of the Cellar folks who came along, participated, celebrated, contributed, etc to my 40th SURPRISE birthday party tonight!

You guys are the greatest, and if I seemed out of it at all, it's because my head was spinning. (I'm trying to remember if I managed to introduce everyone...)

Pictures will be posted as soon as they can be downloaded from all the various cameras and resized.

I swear I smiled more tonight than I have all year.

Well, to the 50 people that I PM'd and emailed about a surprise thread tomorrow night, forget it. The cat's out of the bag so here it is. Have at the old fart.

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday to U....t.

Hey, Ton... Sorry I didn't make it. Having a little one makes it hard to make it to things like this. A friend forwarded me an invite and I really wanted to make it. I am VERY glad that you enjoyed yourself.

Thanks to everyone for doing this for him!!!

Felicitations on your natal anniversary!

No matter how old you get, you can always think "I'm younger than HB!"

lumberjim · 11-16-2003, 08:42 AM

happy birthday UT! I barely know you,but what I do know of you so far, I like. I hope you are returned the good vibes you transmit. You are among the 15% of the cool peole in the world. keep up the good work!

Elspode · 11-16-2003, 10:14 AM

Ah, to be 40 again! Full of piss and vinegar, grasping the world by its balls, ready to strike out and face any challenge...oh. Wait. That was 21, wasn't it.

Nevermind.

All the best wishes for you in the coming year. You are loved and appreciated, even if only by a group of people largely composed of text on a screen...

I made a crude card for this occasion, UT. If it was a real card, the inside would read "Bill truly loved birthdays, but he drank, and consequently, his usual eloquence suffered a bit."

tonksy · 11-16-2003, 10:19 AM

Beestie · 11-16-2003, 10:41 AM

hot_pastrami · 11-16-2003, 11:00 AM

Hey, happy birthday Tony. You're one of the swellest guys I've ever known. Jeepers!

bmgb · 11-16-2003, 11:12 AM

Surprise!!

OK, I guess that didn't work so,

Happy Birthday!

Undertoad · 11-16-2003, 11:28 AM

Please hold...

Surprise - and it was. The blur here is the camera trying to auto-focus in the dark. But you can tell I'm freaked out!

xoxoxoBruce, Lady Sycamore, Rob, and Sycamore

Wolf, Lady Sycamore, Sycamore

Dave, Wolf, and Slang in the amused state they were in all night.

A speculative richlevy.

Me and the cake.

Sharon looks on at the cutting process, and I can be such a ham.

Many non-cellarites: Alayne, Faye, Rob, Ken, Roberta, and me.

The bill arrives: Syc, Roberta, me (hamming it up again), Sharon (the accountant grimaces at bills), Rob, SteveDallas

Home with the dogs: Bean has good taste in beer. Pearl has good taste in wads of wooly fabric.

SteveDallas watches Pearl gather a big wad of wooly in her mouth to suckle on it.

wolf · 11-16-2003, 11:54 AM

A good time was indeed had by all.

Happy Birthday, UT! I was very glad to be able to enjoy the time with you and everyone else!
