The Dream Birthday Party Club

**skysaw** · 07-20-2007 03:20 PM

Is your birthday coming up? Want to have the party of your dreams? Give us a heads up, and we'll all try to dream about you!

Here's how to play:
Post here within 10 days of your birthday (no earlier, please). Please post a representative photo of yourself, your birthdate, and as much information you'd like to give out that will help people conjure you up. Let us know what you'd like us to bring to the party, and we'll all report back here what happened in our versions of the party.

Here's a sample template you can borrow:

-----------------------

--- Your Photo Here ---

-----------------------
Name: JoeDreamer
Birthday: July 21
Age: 20
The Party: We're having a 60s theme! Everyone bring your long hair, sandles, and bell-bottoms! The cake will be shaped like a peace sign, and we'll be grooving out on black lights and Hendrix till the break of dawn!

Who's up first?

Cool idea

Did you have a good birthday, skysaw?

**BeSomebody** · 07-24-2007 09:17 PM

When is the next Dinky-Dream product coming out?

**zobey** · 07-24-2007 10:00 PM

Neat! I'm in.

My birthday was back in February, and yes, it was good.

Anyone coming up in the next month here?

**JJB** · 08-04-2007 04:13 AM

He he Well my birthday is on aug 29 so i guess we could test this thing out on my birthday

.

**Lunalight** · 08-04-2007 04:19 AM

That's a great idea! Although I think it would be cooler if you didn't set a theme and no picture...but it was your idea so run with it! Any set places to meet for the party? Like the Lucid Crossroads events room? I already plan on going there for the wedding...

**Oneironaught** · 08-04-2007 04:40 AM

Here's a little heads up:

This month's calender.

Next month's calender.

The calendar helps, but it takes someone who wants to do it to let us know. I don't know the majority of the names who are coming up this month. Also, some people may have their birthdays hidden.

Unless someone appears before JJB's birthday, we can start with that one.

I agree, I was just pointing out that there are plenty coming up.

Me neither.

A bunch never filled in theirs birthday field.

But, yes, I agree that it should only be those who post an invitation. Unless we throw a surprise party

**FreeOne** · 08-05-2007 12:52 AM

suprise partys are the best!

if only shared dreams were real.

**ThePhobiaViewed** · 08-05-2007 03:06 PM

Hey great idea. My birthday is tomorrow (August 6th) so I would appreciate a party.

That picture should be a link to a bigger version (yes I know its a terrible picture of me) and then you can click see original size to see an even bigger one. I am the one on the right (with the fancy red shoes). I'll describe myself if you can't see that. I am tall and thin with glasses. I have long blond hair that goes down to my glasses in the front and about halfway down my neck in the back. My hair is perfectly straight, no curls at all.

Name: ThePhobiaViewed
Birthday: August 6th (party is night between the 5th and 6th)
Age: 17
The Party: The Lucid Crossroads Event Room isn't big enough, so go out the hidden back door and there will be a giant endless field with a very large stage. All musicians and non-musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and jam along. Any famous musicians you wish to spawn are welcome. Dress in the clothing of the music you like. There will be an endless 12 bar blues in A with rounds of soloing. If any famous bands show up or if enough people know a song (Freebird anyone?) then we'll play that. Lots of food already so no need to bring any. If enough orchestra players show up we will play some Metallica and Dream Theater with you. We need a Continuum player for Octavarium so please come if you own own one. Everyone's welcome, bring your friends, eat our food, dance and party. Cake will be in the size and shape of a bass drum. Doors open at your first REM stage and stay open all night and into the day. Hope everyone can come!

Go go August 29th, my birthday too. :F

This sounds like a fun idea, I should give it a go. Can we have an old school disco?

Sorry can't go to yours, it's a school night

. Just kidding, I'll be there with my afro and platform shoes. To quote a ------helpwanted.com commercial "I love to boogie!"

Yay! Our first party!

I'll be there for sure. If you don't make it tonight, try for tomorrow night for the recap show!

I love the idea of the jam session. I'm going to bring my Chapman Stick:

That things pretty cool. I just went to the site and wanted one until I saw the prices

. If I'm spending that much I'm gonna get a nice bass or guitar or a continuum (small one, the big one is over $5000). My axe of choice will be my 7-string washburn or I might spawn a Paul Gilbert Sig.

It's not just the price that'll get you on those... the typical wait time is one year, as they are all custom made to spec. Mine took 15 months from when I ordered it!

Well then you have some time to save up the money I guess.:p

**Lunalight** · 08-06-2007 12:22 AM

I'm so glad I logged on, I may have missed the party! Sounds awesome; I'll bring my guitar!

**jamous** · 08-06-2007 12:29 AM

Phobia: tonight then right??

Great, what kind do you have? I'm gonna spawn lots of signature models (except not Yngwies:p scalloped frets are not my thing)

Yep tonight. If you miss it it'll come out on dvd (but only in the dream world:p)

It looks like this:

The brand is Arbor.

That is brilliant. Just brilliant.

I'll videotape some of it on my magic camera that never runs out of film and is flies itself.

Nice, I'm not a big fan of Les Paul shapes myself, too common looking I think. I'm more into cool, odd looking ones and good deals. For my birthday I'm getting my 10th and 11th guitars. They probably won't come on time because musiciansfriend is switching warehouses and is all messed up. They upgraded me to free overnight shipping though which is appreciated so I'll deal. i prefer my 7 string Washburn to my others, except maybe my Traben bass (best basses ever) but I'm terrible at finger picking bass and Trabens are made for popping and slapping. In case anyones wondering the 2 new ones I'm getting are a Jackson Warrior (the one thats like $300) and an Epiphone Thunderbird IV (bass).

We definately need some people with cameras so we can get good multi-angle footage for the dvd. In case you're wondering how to find this DVD, just go into any lucid store that sells concert DVDs and look, you'll find it. It should be out in a few days (bootlegs maybe sooner).
