If you were going to do a joint b day thing?
Where would you do it?
I'm not feeling D&B (which is where my friend wants to do it)
In the past we have shared (dinner and bowling, dinner & Karaoke, done bucca di beppo- Chomp @Fullerton then drinks DT.)
I'm out of ideas...
If you were going to do a joint b day shin dig with a friend what and where would you do?
Re: If you were going to do a joint b day thing?
Co-ed of course. Peferrably something a large number of people would enjoy.
At this point I'm open to any and all suggestions. I'm [this] close to boycotting my birthday there's been so much drama.
I would do a duffy boat, wine tasting, the LA fair, or dinner at the Tapas restaurant in DTF.
ETA - you could also do Medieval Times. They have deals on Goldstar pretty frequently. There is also Octoberfest, The Greek Festival in Irvine this weekend, The Arab Festival in Garden Grove...
This site has tons of upcoming local events:

i never assume co-ed. never.
but really - what do you and your friend like to do? does she have any ideas? how come you're stuck with all the brainstorming?
ITA, if it's going to be a big group, I wouldn't do dinner. It's always a freaking mess.
Just pick a fun bar to go to and hang out.
Ugh- it's such drama. I'll give you the abridged version. Lots of b days in October. Everyone claimed a day in October (on the weekend) but no one thought to ask me what my plans were.
This upset me but upset hubs WAY more- and decided to make plans for just the two of us to celebrate instead.
Friends are now upset that he's doing that because then "they won't get to celebrate me" which really translates into :" We feel like tools now that we realized we forgot about you"
So friend now is asking to "share her b day" with me. I'm not feeling her idea of D&B- so she told me to think up something else.
But at this point I'm kinda over it. Thus being [this] close to boycotting my b day and being stuck with all the brain storming.
Oh, I would say eff it and celebrate alone with YH.
Does this make us the tools if we decide to do that and not share?
Oh yeaa the duffy boat! I forgot about that.. Lot's of good ideas here Nabum. Thanks!
I'd boycott it and just buy yourself something extra nice.
And then you can do something with us.
I agree, forget about everyone else and celebrate with your H. It sounds like a huge PITA at this point. Tell everyone they can take you out for drinks in November if they want to.
After hearing the back story, I'd do something with your H alone too. I wouldn't want to "share" just b/c they forgot especially b/c its turning into a headache for you.
Do what you want to do. If you want to spend it with friends, then try to think of a place other than D&B. But if its not worth it, I'd do something with your H.
No I willingly shared my b day with her last year. (and the year before) and the year before that with another girl friend.
There's just too many b days in October in my circle of friends.
ah, I just remember the sharing!
I third this motion.
This! Birthdays are special, shame on them for leaving you out. Spend the time with YH and don't give it a second thought!
Screw 'em. Do something awesome with your H instead.
4th!
