When I turned 29, I started getting a little nervous about turning 30. So I decided a year ago that instead of letting 30 get me down or freak me out, I was going to take control of my own destiny and just have an awesome birthday – and that’s exactly what I did. I ended up doing a joint event with my buddy, Alex (of the blini party if you remember that one), who turned 30 a week before I did.
We had a nice dinner at the Straights of Malaya…
…followed by a private party at The Russia House – including vodka, Baltica, and dancing to my own mix of early ’00s Russian pop music.
We even rented a hotel room downtown for the weekend since we won’t be moving out of the suburbs for the next few weeks. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you party, it seems there’s always someone who partied harder than you did – like this guy, who we found asleep in the hallway of the hotel at 4am. We couldn’t decide if he was just too drunk to find his way back to his room, or if he got kicked out of some room – what do you think?
Wish I had taken more pictures, but I was too busy having my best birthday yet!
Thanks to my friends, Alex and Natasha!! Without you guys, it wouldn’t have been possible!!!
***By the way – don’t forget about the Tweetup, this Sunday May 2nd at 1pm EST!!
