Subject: Impromptu Birthday Celebration

Hey guys,

Nell and I have been tossing ideas around and we know it's short notice, so we'll understand if people can't make it. But, someone once told me that when there are things to be celebrated, they should be celebrated. And, with everything that's been going on recently, we missed one such celebration.

So, we've decided, Nell and I, that we're taking Sean out for his birthday a week late.

This Sunday we're going to Smoke, dinner and Jazz for our Jazz Maestro. First set's at 7pm, no cover charge with dinner. Dress code is upscale (or whatever the right word is, I'm sure one of the ladies will be able to enlighten me). Ditch the jeans and fatigues.

If we get five or more people going we need to reserve with a card now. So, we need a headcount ASAP. Nell's running transportation through Hetty. Once I know how many are going I'll get back to you with security protocols.

There is one unalterable rule: No one 25+ is allowed. That includes boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, spouses, whatever. If their birth year is before 1986, they're not on the guest list.

Yes, before anyone says anything, I realize this rule is going to send a few of the "grown-ups" into a fit. They can deal. Just this once, we're going to make happy the few who are trying to encourage us to take what moments we have as "kids" and enjoy them. We can be safe and still have one night of fun to celebrate our friend. We need it.

So, if you're in, let us know before dinner tonight so we can get reservations in. Sean, you're not buying a thing. Anyone else who wants to chip in is welcome to, although Nell and I figure we can cover everyone if we need to seeing as we don't really spend much ourselves.

John
