Birthday Ponderings

kyburgI'm beginning to think renting space for this shindig makes more sense than shoehorning everything into the street outside my house.
I'm beginning to think that trying to stake out space in a local park doesn't make sense.
I'm beginning to think that the Japanese-American Cultural Center in Little Tokyo has just the digs I'm needing. They even pulled catering trucks into the plaza this year during Nisei Week, and that worked out like nobody's business.
Could do the same. Could ask some of the taiko groups back, and gee - they already know their sets and the venue.
So that's food and entertainment, plus location. Cake is still up for grabs.
But the cost to do this? You'd think I was getting married again or something.
If the insurance reimbursement comes through - yeah, this might be okay. If not - oh hell, no - if I can't justify Disneyland, I sure as hell can't justify THIS.
And I may end up with a hot dog at Costco for my trouble as it stands. I mean, I could throw the biggest party on the block, but who would come? Who could? We're firmly talking two weeks before Thanksgiving here, folks. Ya may be fond of me, but it's the holidays.
Just hang in there a bit longer, guys. I'll only be this selfish for a while longer.
