"dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum THEY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum

On this day, the seventeenth of the sixth month of the ninth year of the second millennia, Alexander Berning Weinhardt has officially become a man.  To celebrate this momentous occasion, he has humbly requested a few select gift items.  Some of these include, but are not limited to:

1. Zombies (Romero Style) 

Fuck all that new school fast moving Zombie shit.  I want the old fashioned slow moving, dumb walking dead.  This ain't about guts and gore, it's about survival, and I'm ready.

2. A Margarita from Casa Nueva in Athens Ohio

This little worker owned cooperative nestled the the heartland of Ohio makes the banginest margarita I have ever had.  On Wednesday's they are $2.00, and I shit you not, drink three of these and you'll be ready to open mouth kiss your grandmother.  

3.  The Get Up Kids to play "Something to Write Home About" from start to finish in my parents basement

These guys recently got back together and I saw them play for the first time this past May while Choons were Chooning at the Bamboozle Fest.  But I was like 100 yards away, Matt Pryor was balding....it just was not the same as it would have been 10 years ago when these guys were all young guns playing basement shows.  I think they should do a basement show tour, make a stop at my parents house in Westerville, Ohio, and we can all have an air hockey tournament after the show.  James Dewees, you're going down. (My girlfriend actually got this album for me on vinyl for my birthday which is most definitely the next best thing)
