Birthday Party Info Again

Simon's first birthday is coming up April 9th.

In the absence of a big pile of money from a celebrity to have an outrageous party, we'll be having a good old fashioned lesbian potluck (non-lesbians very welcome to attend!) to celebrate Simon beating the odds and making it to a chubby, smiley, happy, first birthday.

Saturday April 11th

2 pm - 5 pm

Lakeside Park Oakland

There is a BIG playground nearby, a large Picnic table, a huge expanse of grass (bring blanket to sit on or folding chair if you want to) and bathrooms nearby. We plan to just have a mellow, rolling-in-the-grass, face -stuffing, celebrating-miracles time of it.

Bring your kids, bring your parents, bring anyone who has ever heard of our dear son and wants to meet him in the flesh. Bring a guitar. Bring a drum/ tuba. Bring a song to teach and/or share. There will be speeches and singing and merriment galore.

We want this to be an opportunity for anyone and everyone who has been tracking his progress and sending him love to come and show your face so we can thank you in person. This means *you*!

We'll provide sandwiches, you bring a side and/or drinks.
We got plates and cups and such.

Please email lafitch@gmail.com if you think you'll be coming and roughly how many people you'll be dragging along with you, just so we can plan the sandwiches.
