I'm a terrible, terrible, horrible friend. Please, please please tell me that you've remembered and have something in your bag of tricks or in the planning.
Pres' birthday is coming up. Not just any birthday but his 21st. I've been so busy and distracted, and I feel horrible.
Did you remember?

I remembered! I've still got to talk to someone about something special. I don't know if we can swing it, but I'm hoping so. You know, my boss owns Purgatory, right? And there's the VIP area and all that we can never get into, so I'm going to ask if he'll lift the 'ban' on it for a night for the birthday and let me run up in there and set things up.
If not, then we can head down to Atlantic City. Rent a limo and the biggest suite they've got there and just let Pres go wild if he wants to.

At least one of us remembered before the last minute! I envy how you manage to remember all this stuff and juggle so many things. I'm probably going to forget my kids' birthdays. :(
You mean Brooke's hawt boyfriend? Yeah, I knew that. :) I think it's a great idea, if he'll let us do it. Do you want me to use my unfair leverage and plant a seed in Brooke's ear?
Anything you want me to help with, just say the word and I will. And you don't you dare try to say I don't need to help and you have it all under control. I feel horrible for almost forgetting and I won't feel right if I don't help.

It's called an iPhone. It remembers things for me. Like when I have tests at Tisch, and when I can just go in and watch rehearsals there instead of doing anything. Pres and I are getting credit for being on Broadway instead of working in the class theatrical productions this semester, so 'yay' for that.
You can, I guess. If you think it'll help?
Otherwise, I do have it all under control. I've already reserved the limo and the hotel room, both which we can cancel with 24 hours notice if we need to. Though I might keep the limo to pick him and his date (if he has one) up in. I know that we won't actually be doing it on his birthday since it's a Sunday night and we'll likely have to go out to Atlantic City on Friday, and do the Purgatory thing on Saturday, but after midnight? He can drink like a fish!

Smart ass.
You remembered this kind of stuff before our parents got us iPhones and smartphones. You were the Queen of birthdays and special occasions as far back as middle school.
Fine, then, I'm picking up the drink tab at Purgatory.
