Four-Day Fortieth Birthday Weekend

That’s what this is — I’m taking Friday and Monday off to celebrate, hang out with Wendy (and Dave, who flies in from Chicago on Saturday afternoon), enjoy my birthday and play a couple of XBox 360 games I just bought: Beautiful Katamari and Bioshock.

And, of course, on Saturday night, there’s this…

If you’d like to come join the celebration, please do! It’s at The Parkdale Drink (1292 Queen Street West, just west of Dufferin), a block west of the Gladstone Hotel. It’s pretty swanky for Parkdale, and among other things, there’s a dance floor and a DJ spinning some fun tunes (I requested rock, alt-rock and some retro). C’mon and help an old man celebrate!

(Don’t forget that we turn the clocks back to standard time on Saturday night, giving us an extra hour to party!)

As for Sunday night, I’ll be continuing the party at Kickass Karaoke at the Rivoli (334 Queen Street West, just east of Spadina). The fun starts at after 9:

  • Happy birthday dude!

    PS: Can you play Richard Thompson's version of "Oops I Did It Again" on the accordion for me? Thanks.

  • Hey Joey! I had an amazing time last night. Hope to see you again tonight—I've been wanting to go to Kickass Karaoke for over a year now (since July 16, 2006, to be exact), and I think it's finally about time. ;)
