birthday
Me and the birthday girl!
birthday
He had no idea! That's the best. It's totally the worst when you can tell that the person being surprised is only pretending to be surprised.
birthday
SURPRISE!
birthday
Afterwards, everyone sang happy birthday to Andrew...
birthday
Last year's hunt was in Brooklyn. This year the entire hunt was in the EV/Lower East Side. Everyone met up at Houston and Chrystie...
birthday
Everyone in attendance scream-sang Happy Birthday...
birthday
Later that afternoon, we went uptown to attend Meredith's nephew Cooper's first birthday birthday party!
birthday
Make a wish!
birthday
Samantha's bellydance extravaganza culminated with the presentation of a KING CAKE shipped to NYC from New Orleans.
birthday
Down on your knees!
birthday
Suddenly, the music changed and our attention was directed to the top of the stairs...
birthday
Aileen and Mer.
birthday
Ellen and Katie. (Katie has tiny eyes!)

Happy Birthday, Ellen! We love you! Check out how zonked out Piper is.

The birthday girl wearing showing off her sick birthday chain.

I love everything about this photo
birthday
Happy Birthday!
birthday
RAGE! This gets the award for most cathartic birthday moment.
birthday
Leigh, Lawrence and Andrew.
birthday
Check the crowd. It was like having the best private room karaoke session....
birthday
This photo makes me LOL every time I look at it. Sarah looks like she's preaching and that girl in the background is doing her best to politely wait out the offer of a shared microphone. Hahah.
birthday
Gina and Mandy with the birthday boy!
birthday
Because hey, karaoke! Here's Gurj and an awesomely red-faced Lawrence. Happy Birthday! This was the second karaoke birthday party that Karaoke Killed the Cat hosted. The first one I'd been to was in 2006 and it was epic.
birthday
On Wednesday night, Meredith and I went out with her parents to celebrate Mr. Silverman's birthday! Happy Birthday, Chuck!
birthday
...everyone had left! People noticed that I was missing about ten minutes after I'd disappeared. After more than an hour passed, everyone figured I wouldn't be coming home any time soon and took off. Hahaha. Thanks for coming over everyone! Sorry I missed the end!
birthday
Cheers! I love this photo.
birthday
Getting ready to make a run for it!
birthday
The weather held, but about 90 minutes later, thing got DRAMATIC!
birthday
I took a day off from work on Friday so that I could spend my actual birthday on the beach! Mandy met me on the subway and we headed out together!
birthday
Happy 24th, Bad Good One!
birthday
Birthday cupcakes and everyone singing "Happy Birthday!" Awww, who's an embarrassed little duck?
birthday
Happy birthday, Ray!
birthday
MLE cutting up what turned out to be ICE CREAM CAKE! Holla!
birthday
...to sing to Rachael and wish her a HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY!

The birthday girl! Spinning yarns.

Amanda's friend Marco rode ahead and took this photo...
birthday
Couch-hug for the birthday girl!
birthday
Her Royal Birthday Highness.
birthday
Actually cut the cake!
birthday
Pose for photo pretending you're cutting the cake!
birthday
Wish! (PS - If you look at Sarah's dress you'll notice that I must've accidentally used Cat's wish. Sorry about that, Sar.) (PPS - I love the fact that she's blowing out two haphazardly-placed votive candles Hahah.)
birthday
CAKE IS FOR MEEEEE!
birthday
Cake is for me?
birthday
DOOOOOOOD, are you kidding me? This photo makes me drool.
birthday
Cynthia hard at work in the kitchen preparing Cat's birthday cake!

birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIN!

On Thursday night I went to a Korean restaurant in Brooklyn to surprise Vin on his birthday. Here's Aya and Josh with the birthday boy right after we surprised him!
birthday
Now blow!

Make a wish, Chunks!
birthday
After handing out prizes to the winning teams, it was time for ice cream cake!
birthday
Happy birthday, Andrew! Thanks for inviting me toone of the most-awesomest birthday events I've ever had the pleasure of attending! (PS - Wait until you see how epic 2009's 3rd Annual Scavenger Hunt was!)
birthday
Go ahead, ask about 'em.
birthday
Hahahahaha. Such a good cake inscription.
birthday
MAKE A WISH, BIRTHDAY BOY!
birthday
Before things got too hot and heavy on the lanes, Karen and Sarah busted out a birthday cake!
birthday
...MEREDITH'S 28th BIRTHDAY!
birthday
Presents!
birthday
...that turned out to have a homemade birthday cake inside! (That ran into some "transportation problems" en route).
birthday
On Saturday evening, we went up to the Upper East Side and had dinner with Meredith's parents to celebrate Meredith's birthday!
birthday
This is probably the most "partying" pic of John in existence. I love the way he's got them both in a headlock and is also holding a beer. Epic, braaah. Epic.
birthday
Happy Birthday, John! Hopefully this pics serve as a happy reminder of a night you most likely don't remember too much of!
birthday
The next thing you know, John was getting plied with drinks and everyone agreed it was time to...
birthday
When I first arrived at the restaurant, there was no sign of anyone! I asked a waitress and she explained that the party was in a big room in the back where they had karaoke. Korean food and karaoke? YES! I found my way to the back room and ran right into the birthday boy! See the girl to his left?
birthday
Here's Astra and Katie getting ready to give the birthday girl...
birthday
...a DOUBLE-BARRELED BRONSKY! Epic.
birthday
Katie's birthday cake was special because it was a King Cake! The King Cake has a tiny plastic baby baked into it, and whoever finds the little baby in their piece of cake is declared The King (or Queen) of the party and that means that WHATEVER they say, goes! Ahhh, the possibilities.
birthday
Happy Birthday, Katie!
birthday
...to watch Siege deliver Katie's very special birthday cake!
birthday
Happy Birthday, Sarah! We love you!
birthday
WAH-WAH!
birthday
And how about these birthday gems from good old brother Lawrence: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Judaism and Why Marry Jewish?. Subtle, Lawrence. Very subtle.
birthday
Mmmmmmm...I take after my dad. Yellow cake with chocolate icing and PUDDIN' in the middle? Holy shit, I'm drooling on my shirt right now writing this caption. The ol' Pavlovian cake-caption response.
birthday
He even wears cute little sweatshirts with the team he's routing for on them when we watches football. I know you're not really supposed say that sports fans are kind of adorable...but what can I say? Tell me this photo isn't a little adorable. Happy Birthday, Dad!
birthday
Voila! An orange and blue Syracuse football cake for my dad! My dad nearly creamed himself...Cake, Football and Syracuse are like this three favorite things in the world (in that order).
birthday
Golf book.
birthday
Sunday was my dad's actual birthday and Meredith came out to join us! Here's my dad getting ready to open some presents.
birthday
On Saturday I went out to New Jersey to celebrate my dad's birthday! Happy Birthday, Pappi!
birthday
Anyway, enough nerd speculation! Let's get back to admiring Ellen's fantastic temporary tittoo.
birthday
Sean was happy to apply it with love and extra attention to detail.
birthday
The birthday girl blowing out her birthday cupcake!
birthday
...Ellen's birthday! Yaaaaaay!
birthday
Le Birthday Girl!
birthday
And here's Jenny showing off one of her gifts: a bartender's guide that had pictures of topless, oiled sluts cupping their boobies on every page! (Clearly given to Jenny by someone who knows her well!). Happy Birthday, Jenny!
birthday
...Jenny Penny's birthday! Yay!
birthday
Here's me, Jenny (the birthday girl!), Shruti and JB.
birthday
NOM NOM NOM.
birthday
On Monday night I came home to discover that Meredith baked me a belated birthday cake (to make up for the fact that my official birthday cake got eaten by ANTS and I only got to taste a teeny tiny bit of it!). Thanks, Weenis!
birthday
We got home just before 4am and Meredith busted out a cake that she'd picked up from a bakery earlier that day when I was napping! That little sneak! We were way too full and drunk to even think about eating it, so decided to save it for the morning and called it a night! Thanks for coming out on my birthday, Meredith & Jeremy! I had an amazing time!
birthday
Me with my crown of flowers that was given to me when the girls found out we were out celebrating my birthday!
birthday
Meredith woke me up at 6pm to give me my birthday present: A yellow "King Shirt!" The Thai absolutely LOVE their monarch. Seriously, it's hard to explain unless you go there and see it in person. Anyway, each day of the week has a color associated with it. Monday's color is yellow and since the king was born on a Monday, yellow is the king's color. And every Monday, pretty much everyone in Thailand wears yellow to honor the king!
birthday
...that it was now August 8th and we were officially two hours into my 31st birthday! Thirty-one? Holy shit, I'm old!
birthday
Make another weeeeeeeesh!
birthday
It's really difficult to ever "throw" Leigh a party because she's always hiding and disappearing (into places like secret backrooms and utility closets), but at 2am Max managed to pin her down to the backroom so that...
birthday
...Geordon could bring out a bunch of ice cream cone cupcakes and we could all embarrass the crap out of her by singing Happy Birthday.
birthday
Make a weeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
