Back to square 1! Need bday ideas...
I know i posted about this during the summer, but i need more help.
I'd had my eye on reserving the party room at Flute Champagne Bar but was grappling with how much money we'd have to spend. DH and i went to an open house there last night (open bar + free hors d'ouevres = yay!) and then toured the party room and got more info. They require a *minimum* of $1500 to be spent to use their room! WTF?! I just can't justify spending that much money, even if we ask our friends who come to chip in $30 for the 2hrs of open bar. Ugh. 
I'm thinking dinner at Benihana would be fun! I've never been and it's just kitschy enough for a 30th bday! This way, people can order what they want and be responsible for their own dinner/drinks budgets. And then...go to a bar in the area?
I've thought about bowling, roller skating, karaoke...but those get expensive too and i've pretty much done all of those. (except for roller skating) I feel our last option, in an effort to save money, is to have people over. But that means i have to supply some of the food/drinks, play hostess and clean up afterwards! And our place isn't huge so it gets crowded and loud pretty fast.
Anyone know of places where you can reserve a private/semi private room, order food and drinks, have fun and not owe them your first born in payment?
TIA!!

If you are looking for kitschy cheesy fun....for my 25th bday my friends and I went to Medieval Times.
Talk about cheesy - my friends were moaning and groaning that that was where I was dragging everybody for my bday, but then they all had the best time. You get to wear stupid crowns and eat with your hands and cheer on your knight....and I had the king announce my bday during the show.
The pics from our Med. Times trip still manage to pop up everywhere. It was so much fun.
