bday party ideas

My birthday is coming up this week and Simon's a month from now. Typically I like to plan stuff that's a little more interesting than dinner followed by getting wasted at some club. Last year I did Laser Tag which was fun. I'm not sure what to do next for my own bday but I'll be at a convention in the day so that kills any plans for a daytime activity. For Simon I'm thinking indoor gokarting ($45 for 20 minutes though eeeek), paintballing (also runs about $50)....not sure what else. Fun stuff always costs so damn much. Any ideas? (The only other idea so far is to eat at Hooters and then go to the Lusty Lady peep show and that's just a little nasty. Oh and Great America wont be open yet).

How about going for a rockclimbing class (which is about an hour and $30), where they teach you about climbing and belaying, and then getting the rest of the day/time to do that? It's cheaper than $45 and longer than 20 minutes.

Or ... how about going to the peep show first, and then going to Hooters? Mix it up.

i did pottery painting and catered food for one year. it's girly.

we've also celebrated bdays at Chuck E. Cheese's (gag party, but it was quite fun actually), and Dave and Busters. These are a lot more flexible on how much to spend and everyone can have lots of fun.

something simple and wholesome is great too. bbq on the beach of monterey/carmel. serene, quiet, good company.

good luck.
