Default Andy's Birthday Bash - Have you been to others?

Hi Warriors,

It's my 40th birthday later this year and I was wondering how to include my IM friends in a birthday bash - then saw Willie recently having an official birthday bash.

I couldn't get to it so I have no idea what went on (although I've seen LOTS of photos from it), so I wondered if anyone who went had any comments from it.

It's it crazy to have a birthday bash for your IM friends to come to?

Is it crazy to turn it into a seminar / party?

While my preference is to just party, there does seem to be a logic to making more of having a bunch of IMers together in the same place at all levels of success and experience.

So I thought I'd you guys.

What are your thoughts on this type of thing?

If I had a birthday bash and you were invited - what would you hope it would be like?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Andy

Well you have helped me a lot in the past Andy so I would love to attend and have some fun (been a bit short on that recently) but certainly wouldn't mind learning a thing or two as well (I enjoy learning, so I consider thats fun too).

Thanks Suzanne,

I also just remembered - I play drums, so if we had some musical IMers - we could get a band together and jam some fun too

I haven't been to such a bash before but I think it's a great idea - IM is fun anyway so it would go perfectly with partying!

Andy, a party is never a crazy idea. Not having a party would be crazy. Sounds like a good time to me.

I always loved laid back environments that you can talk and get to know people.

Of course there could be dancing afterwards. I just don't want to see John Taylor dancing in his kilt pretending to be Marilyn Monroe.

We know the party is over when that happens.

That reminds me - I'd have to work out the best place to have it where people could get to. Many IMers hate traveling. Hopefully JT will get a mobile home and drive to my party

I'm thinking UK - but I might come out to Singapore later in the year as well anyway. I was there for my last 2 birthdays.

Hi Andy - What I would suggest is a web cam and a voIP web conference room so that you can include international folks that can't get to the UK or wherever you have it. They could talk and hear the party going on - they could buy their own champagne since I have yet to see a solution for transmitting food or drink virtually (shame).

So Call it Andy Henry's IM Birthday Party - BYOB&V (bring your own bottle & voIP)

Whatever you do, enjoy!
