After much deliberation, here is the plan/schedule..

Friday, November 16 (my birthday):
8pm: Blue Man Group concert at the arena
11pm: Birthday celebration at the Big Bang (probably, it was fun there)

Saturday, November 17:
3pm: Housewarming party at the new house
7pm: After-party

People are welcome to come up and make a weekend of it. I’ll have a couple extra beds at the new house, plus a sofa and floor space. Please let me know if you are coming to the concert, so we can coordinate buying tickets so everyone can sit together. If you want to skip the concert but still come to the birthday celebration, please feel free. The bar is a half a block away from the arena on Broadway. If you want to carpool to the concert to save money on parking downtown (it’s usually $5 after 5pm in most lots), then we will be meeting at my house at 6:30pm. If you need directions to any of these places, just let me know.

Edited to reflect change in housewarming plans.
