My birthday dinner…shit!
I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this, but here goes:
Last week, I was urged by several friends to have a birthday dinner they could attend (after SXSW was over)…so I made a short list of people to invite. It’s not a huge deal. However, I’m afraid some feelers were hurt because they weren’t invited. CRAP! I’m sorry…
I went to a friend’s birthday dinner recently and it was small. It was very nice to be able to have one conversation with everyone at once.

(I have no idea who these tools are, but look at the engaging conversation they’re holding!)
I went to a ladies night a couple of months ago that was really cool because there were SO MANY of us at one huge table…but we couldn’t really talk to each other because there were so many of us (yes, that’s Lady Oriah on the end)
This is why I chose to go small. Please, GOD don’t take it personally if you weren’t invited. I do love you. I would LOVE to have dinner with you. I simply could not invite everyone and still enjoy myself.
I just want to enjoy myself and my friends. I’ll have to enjoy you all in our own little ways. Please understand.
