Birthday Request

I had an idea as I was falling asleep about what I want from you for my birthday, which is next week.  I want to have a virtual birthday party, with my readers as my guests.  Send me a picture.  Preferably of yourself, if you're cool with that.  If not it can be a picture of something that matters to you: your kid or your dog or your house or the seedlings on your windowsill.  But it should be from your life and it should mean something -- no clip art, no clever pictures of celebrities.  I'll put all the pictures in a Typepad photo album and we'll pretend we're all mingling and laughing and talking at my house at a fun and eclectic birthday party. 

So that's my birthday wish.  Email a picture from your life to stayofexecution@gmail.com.  If you're shy, you don't have to tell me your name, or that it's you.  But I'm glad you're part of this weblog family, and I'd love to have a picture.  It'll be kind of fun if everyone does it, I think, and it will mean a lot to me.

UPDATE: The guests are starting to arrive, and you guys are such an interesting crowd.  I'm thrilled to host y'all.  I love this.  Please, please participate.  I am more delighted by this than by anything I've done yet with the weblog (although the Buick contest was fun, too).  It means a lot to me.  Please come join us.  I'll post the gallery when we've got pictures from two dozen of you.  I'm leaving this  post on top for a while.  Okay, enough begging.  But if you're reading this, whether I know you in real life or not, I'd love a picture.  Thanks.

Yours would surely be one of the most unique birthday party I’ll ever know pal. Is it OK if I send in pictures of food, drinks, disco ball, colorful light, and music equipment? A birthday party is not a birthday party without these party stuff.

By the way please send everyone a copy of your party ok?
