Dear friends,
The moment is there. I am turning 23 (Nov 30th) and I’m ready to celebrate. Three great friends of mine happen to be celebrating their birthdays during the same night at at the same location: Casey Shea (22, Nov 27th), Jeff Schram (41, Nov 27th) and Holly Danger (23, Nov 30th). We are all gathering at the wonderful Bar Matchless in Williamsburg to celebrate the night away. Yes yes we understand that this is during Thanksgiving weekend and some of you may be away spending time with your families, but that is how nature has decided. We’d love to see you. Bring your family! There’ll be some great live music by Bryan Dunn, Mr. Schram and others in the music room, and in the bar area itself we’ll be playing 80s music only (maybe).
Note: it’s been a personal wish of mine to take photobooth pictures with everyone I care about in the city and I’m already a few photos in. Seeing that Matchless has a photobooth this seems like a perfect opportunity to get a bunch of pictures taken. So prepared to be photographed! 
Big Birthday Bash for
Casey + Jeff + Holly & Wes
Saturday November 29th, 9pm onwards
Bar Matchless
557 Manhattan Ave (corner of Driggs)
L Train to Bedford or G Train to Nassau
PS anyone that tells you I’m actually turning the big 3-0 is a big fat liar
PPS please send this to anyone you’d like to join that is nice. I may have forgotten some lovely friends of ours and my gmail address book just doesn’t display everyone for some reason.
PPPS Instead of bringing presents I think it’s a better idea if you throw a few bucks in a jar instead that we’ll pass of which the contents will go to help pay for a new computer all the way in Kenya (Obama!) where my dear friend Karen works in an orphanage and their only computer just broke. Can we help buy them a new one so they can start selling children on ebay again? Yes we can!*
PPPPS the previous PS goes for me only. Jeff, Holly and especially Casey still want presents probably. You know how those young republicans get.
* ok they wont sell children but it will help them with many many many other things.
