Happy belated birthday to lackofcontext! Sorry to hear from your tweets that things aren't the best.

I am planning on having a birthday weekend in NYC over Columbus Day weekend. I need to plan things but I want to get it on people's calendars. I'm thinking of going down on Friday during the day and leaving late on Sunday or possibly Monday.

As fates would have it we are going to be at the Enormous Room on _his_ birthday tonight ;)

The birthday gods have spoken and Friday's shindig will be at The Enormous Room in Central Sq. starting at 7pm. For those that do not know the Enormous Room, besides being written by E.E. Cummings, is a fabulous bar with no sign other than a red elephant on the door. It is above the Central Kitchen on Mass Ave. Everyone sits on carpets and lounges and drinks fru-fru drinks. There are a few coffee tables and ottomans for those that prefer. They have a rotating DJ, a few weeks ago it was a mash-up DJ laying down 80's tracks over Middle Eastern beats as well as newer pop tracks. Axel F vs. Hallaback Girl stood out ;) Their food is a mix of Middle Eastern small plates.
