Check out the bored trip recap and Lindsay’s photos at our blog. And my photos here…
Elizabeth’s Illustrated Agenda entry for good measure. :)

The first of many (I hope) trips for this little project of ours. We are off to Philadelphia tomorrow and shall return as one, bonded by the road, laughter, and the support we will find in each other as artists and friends.
Philly, you have art, and we want it! Also, Kim wants a sandwich. AND we may be needing some tattoos….
Bored of Trade has been busybusybusy behind the scenes working on events and art and many other amazing things. You haven’t been hearing much from us lately, but that will soon change. And while you wait (im)patiently for our return, sate yourself (if you can) with our newly launched blog.
At least that’s what my office mate wrote in my birthday card… Yes, I turned 28 on Tuesday and I will continue to celebrate this momentous occasion with a week of birthday magical events.
Tuesday night, close friends came to my house for a “house” dinner turned birthday gathering. Pictures will come later, but for now just keep in mind that it looked something like this…
…except that the cake was a paleo carrot cake that Lindsay made especially for me (yummy), and Chris Chen was the only one dressed so formally (Matt Hemerlein came pretty close).
Yesterday was dinner at Kramer’s Afterwords, one of my favorite restaurants in DC. I reconnected with a great friend and enjoyed a paleo friendly meal, no dessert (go me!). Thanks Rayhan, you are the bestest.
Tonight, I am going to see Avatar (finally!) in IMAX, no less. Ronald is calling this my “birf week” movie. And so it is, and we shall have a wonderful time geeking out to scifi plots and mind-boggling special effects. I should note that he has already seen this movie twice.
Saturday is the big birthday pajama party! Details here: BANANAS IN PAJAMAS!!! Elizabeth did the art for the flyer. My friends are spinning. There will be cake. People will wear pajamas. Fun will be had by all.

And for the final stretch of this birthday jubilee, family Brunch in Richmond the morning/day after my party. After which, I fully intend to look like/do this…
