bringing back the magic

Have you ever had an idea... maybe even something that started as a joke... that eventually became a reality?

Take for instance a Kelly Clarkson concert. Several friends and I joked several summers ago that we should all go see Kelly live @ the VA Beach Ampitheater... since we were often belting out her songs in an obnoxiously loud manner whenever hanging out. We joked about it so much that we ended up buying tickets and actually going. Needless to say... it was glorious.

Fast forward to this past winter break. 2009 was quickly approaching, and several friends and I had jokingly spoken of having each of our birthdays this year themed after something we would have done as a youngster (Burger King party, roller skating, bowling, the zoo, etc etc). It was quite the comical idea... and it seemed like it was leading towards something we'd actually end up doing.

Welp, you can see where this is going.

My birthday is on Friday (24.... yowza) and I will be celebrating with (so far) 20+ people at none other than Chuck E Cheese's. Yes, you read that correctly. It's going to be ridiculous. Old school Spiderman arcade game? Check. Skee ball?? Check. Tickets & prizes & PIZZA galore??? triple check.

Everyone is welcome to join this absurd occasion, if you're up to it. It's the one next to AMC 24. This Friday from 7 til 10pm. If not... don't fret... because there will be pictures & stories to tell, I'm sure.
