Okay, so it's not totally settled, and I realize it's getting a little close to the date, but if this works for everyone, I think I'd like to do casual birthday stuff on Friday the 29th for Baton Rouge folks and Saturday the 30th for Lafayette folks. Let me know what you all think (or if you've noticed I've forgotten to invite someone), and we'll go from there. Sadly, Mark can't make either date, but we'll have fun time with him over Renfest.
Also, as per Megan's request, a birthday list for those interested.
