As we begin to crest the hill towards 40, and our backs and knees aren’t what they used to be, it’s fun to remember the days before cell phones, internet, and buying canned food for Y2K (for those of us with “prepper parents”), just in case.

We got to be the last generation that called each other on landlines, memorized phone numbers, and left messages with our friend’s parents.

And now we get the chance to be together, to reminisce, see old friends, make new ones, and eat lots of yummy food and have a drink (or two)!

So put down those phones, style up that doo (what’s left of it, guys) and get ready to hang out in person like we used to before Mark Zuckerburg ruined our lives.    #dontruinpeopleslives

Seriously though, if this party is half as much fun as we’ve had planning it, it’s totally worth the trip.
