Dolores Park Bliss

My birthday at Dolores Park was pretty amazingly awesome thanks to some fabulous friends. Also, Deep showed up with his perpetually stupendous sound system. Here's a brief sample.

Birthdays - Facebook style

I've been overwhelmed today - and extremely flattered - by the number of "happy birthday" wall posts; however, for me it begs the question: what ever happened to cards and phone calls?
 
I blog, twitter, etc. but I still consider myself to appreciate some of the old-fashioned things in life: giving a gentleman one's phone number on a piece of paper vs entering it into your mobile, a manhattan instead of a cosmo. I feel that there's something to be said about a friend singing a slightly-out-of-tune "happy birthday" to your voicemail, or the pleasure of opening up an envelope to see what kind of unique, fun or pretty card the sender picked - just for you!
 
But, alas, what once were mainstays of affectionate communication have become almost a sort of indulgence. The exception to the norm. Perhaps I'll twitter about it.
