Yes, that is an important birthday...

I was at the Cruise in April until 10pm. Traffic started really thinning, and it just felt like it was time to go. I expect about the same on Saturday.

I think there will be other opportunities; this is only the first. Don't be too bummed... you've got months ahead of you with your girl.

I haven't been to any of the meet-ups (the show in Chandler comes closest), so I'll have to make a special effort this fall/winter/spring to join in on one of those.

Have a fun time at that party!
