Me, my friend Par and his friend Lulu of Unifire all have our birth­days on the 11^th and 12^th of Feb­ru­ary. Par, pro­moter and CNG car expert (as well as  smackin good DJ) decided he’d throw a party for all three of us at the Emer­ald Lounge, and he booked the Fire­cracker Jazz Band to play it. Par will DJ as well for part of the time, and he always gets peo­ple groovin’ so bring your soft soles or your high tops and pre­pare to wear a hole in the dance floor.

Come on out and help me cel­e­brate what an awe­some year 25 has been for me, and to rock and roll my 26^th birth­day! This should be an awe­some time, I’m really excited.

• The Emer­ald Lounge on South Lex­ing­ton [ Map ]
• Thurs­day, Feb­ru­ary 12, 2009
• Don’t park in the lot across the street.
• $5 at the door to cover the band (worth it — I promise)
• R.S.V.P. if you’re hip

Par asked me to design the poster, whch is all over town now. This took me about an hour and I’m pround of how it turned out, but I wish I could have put another two hours of work into it to really pol­ish it up. This is prob­a­bly my most pub­lic work to date, and I’m always try­ing to level up my craft.

I can’t believe I’ve only been liv­ing here a lit­tle over a year! This town has been good to me. Thanks, Asheville!
