Ioan and Lawrence Birthday Bash

I sent this out to a small list on friday morning - I’ll bring my camera

Where: Reservations at Henry’s Tavern on 12th and Burnside in NW

Time: Dinner seating at 7:30 p.m. - meet for drinks beforehand at 6 p.m.

What: Ioan and Lawrence Birthday Get Together

What might happen: Drink, Eat and then go out somewhere - Lawrence
mentioned a Hip Hop Club - so did Ioan

Birthday Profiles:

Ioan Fodor:  Born in Bacau Romania almost 42 years ago, he is the son of
a home brewing genius.  Ioan emigrated to the US of A illegally almost
10 years ago.  He somehow figured out to make money in North America and
is now a US citizen, taxpayer, and registered voter.  He recently
returned from a Business Trip in his homeland, Romania because he is
getting his internet start-up going.  Please come out and share a drink
with Dr. Ouzo and meet this unique, funny and short Romanian Communist. 
Despite Ioan approaching his mid-40’s - he looks like he is not a day
past 25.

Lawrence Gillespie:  Born in Southern California, Lawrence is turning 19
this month.  Somehow, he got his Master’s degree in Counseling at OState
before he turned 20 and is now guiding 7th graders at Cedar Park Middle
School in Beaverton.  LG is an all around nice guy, has GAME, and used
to be able to dunk when his knees were good in his mid-teens.  Please
come out to buy him a 7-up.  I’ll buy him the steak or burger.

Why come?:

Ioan is short and white.  Lawrence is tall and black.  2 different
cultures and different groups of friends have an opportunity to get
together to celebrate life, culture and the rapidly approaching summer. 
Henry’s has 100 different kinds of beers on tap.  Ioan is funny. 
Lawrence is cool.  Whatever happens guarantees to be a fun nite. 
Another reason to come is to help me save a little bit of cash…I
promised these 2 young lads that they will not pay for a thing on
Saturday night.  Or - you can just buy them drink yourself - if times
are tight, a Happy Birthday and a hug will surely do.

Special guests:

1) Joshua and Katie: It is their last night in Portland, Oregon before
moving to Aspen Colorado (sniff, sniff)

2) Teachers and administrators from CPMS

3) Australian Chris Heidrich

4) Random Portlanders from all walks of life

5) Birthday Boys Lawrence and Ioan!

SMS or Call Lawrence, Ioan or me throughout the night if you can’t make
it to the start and we’ll let you know where we are at or are headed.

- I am sure I missed inviting some people - please forward if you notice
someone that was not - cheers.
