I have no words to describe my totally amazing birthday party, but I will attempt it anyway. I’ve heard that’s what we writer people do. Fifteen performances, musicans, poets, spoken word artists, fiction writers, all of them fantastic. Four food artists producing deliciousness on a whole new level, which included a chocolate berry cake that I will be fantasizing about for the rest of my life. Ten visual artists filled an entire gallery with stunning pieces. Kids creating new art with paints and pastels. And in case you were wondering, a white wall plus a bucket of crayons equals the most awesome guest book ever. The theme for this party was “better than I expected,” and I was completely thrilled with it. As an extra bonus, my parents surprised me by flying out for the weekend, and my dad did an impromptu performance on his harmonica. I love, love, loved it. Here are some pics, there are more on my facebook.
I’ve said it before, but thank you, thank you, thank you to the thirty artists who contributed work to the party. All I really did for this event is give them an platform to be awesome. They exceeded my wildest expectations by quite a bit, each and every one.
