I decided to have some sort of gathering using my birthday as an excuse. I however don’t want it to be the usual go to a restaurant and head out to a bar afterwards. I have some ideas but don’t know how to execute them in the Boston area. Perhaps others who have lived here longer can give me advice on throwing a fun but out of the ordinary party this weekend. Some criteria - if it is a place it needs to me a place where people can get up and move around without bothering others. I want people to be social and not devolve into talking about work. It must have some sort of entertainment - either by others or allow for the group to entertain themselves (i.e. get a pickup game of drunken Frisbee). I must be able to organize it for Saturday. An outdoors thing would be great assuming the weather holds up.

I suggested Dick’s Last Resort as I thought people would get a kick out of me being lampooned since a birthday boy is sure to be a target but that got mediocre responses. Some things I am looking at but have no idea where to do this in:

* BBQ in a park that preferably allows alcohol
* BBQ on the beach
* Late night bonfire somewhere
* Bar crawl

I’m sure others can come up with better ideas.
