[Locked to friends of Will and Orlando and definitely locked FROM Orli]

Hey peeps:

This is a heads up about Orli's birthday. In two weeks, he's hitting the big 3-0 and Michael and I are throwing him a surprise birthday party. All the details will be announced later, but this is to warn you that you MUST keep Saturday, January 13th open. If you're not going to be able to attend, you'd better get him an awesome present to make up for missing such an important milestone in his life. I understand that things come up, but you'd better be there if you want to call yourself our friend and don't want me to go all Incredible Hulk on you. I have muscles. Fear them.

Oh my god, I'm so kidding. Seriously, after the year Orlando's had, I would love to have the chance to show him that his real friends still care about him and support him. Even if you don't like me, please give some thought to attending. This is for Orli and I know he would love to see you all there.

Pretty please.

Peace out,
Will

I'm not really his brother, but I played one on the screen

Well I am one of his friends, or at least co-workers *grins* and I have played the Hulk, so is it okay if I come over and give you the RSVP here?

Of course! He'll be so happy to see you! I'm Will, by the way.

He better be happy to see me, I'll kick his ass if he's not *grins and holds out his hand* I'm Eric and it's nice to finally meet you.

Aidan and I will try to be there, but I can't promise anything. We're working on the new place and thinking about getting out of town for a while. First part of the year might be a bit hard on Aidan and stuff.

I do have a spectacular gift though!

I heard about the new house! Congratulations!! Of course it would be completely understandable if you guys can't make it. And if you can't, the four of us will just have to do something on our own when our schedules mesh!

*grins evilly* I'm sure that could be arranged.

You want me to bring all my cute girls along?

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, bring the fam! The more the merrier!

Hope they don't drive you two up the wall.

I'm out of town right now, but I'll definitely be back by then. And I can help get whatever we might need from here, so that's no problem.

Do you have an idea of what you want to do...?

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, let me know what you think about having it away from the house because it would be really hard to surprise him otherwise. But I could rent out a restaurant or hall or something. Something in between semi-formal and casual. Suit jackets and open shirt collars, no jeans, that sort of thing. I'd kind of like a royal/winter/fairy tale theme/decor but nothing cheesy and juvenile. Classy, elegant, beautiful, whimsical and fun - all the things he is. Open bar, DJ (or band? Thoughts?), buffet, huge cake (I've been calling around for both those things already), cabs to take home any drunk people and... I'm sure I'm going to think of more things! But so far, that's been my brainstorming. I might just hire a party planner because if I'm doing too much running around, he might suspect something.

[identity profile] aimlessbeck.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... Well, there are a few perks to being in the restaurant business, so here's what I can help with:

I know a lot of restaurant owners in New York, so that can be provided without a problem. Open bar would be fine and, if you need the catering, the food can be provided, too. My cousin's husband (who's my business associate) has had a lot of restaurant openings, so I can ask for a suggestion on a party planner?

The theme sounds good! I like it. Hmm... I don't know about the DJ or band, though. Maybe a DJ so there can be a bit of everything?

Aw man, a birthday party?

A surprise birthday party??

Cooool.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes!! You'll come, right?? You'll get to meet him finally. *grins*

[identity profile] r-vecchio.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, jeez. I wanna come but I gotta check with my Lieu first. I've had a coupla days off recently so I don't know if he'll give me any more. *frowns due to prospect of having to postpone perfect fangirling opportunity* But I'll work on him.

Where you having it?

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have a specific location yet, but it'll be a restaurant in NYC.

[identity profile] lost-spiritus.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll try and make it then, I don't think it will be a problem.

[identity profile] wickedsinz.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well. I don't know Orli, or even who he is. BUT I could come *chuckles* might even play

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Of course you know who he is! He's my fiancé and my favorite person in the world! *grins* We're going to have a DJ for dancing, but if you guys would like to perform, too, that would be great!

[identity profile] wickedsinz.livejournal.com 2006-12-30 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well I'm not in a band so it's just me, only person I've played with lately is my son Jacob.

That sounds like a great idea!

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2007-01-02 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
So that means you and Heather will be there? *hopeful smile*

[identity profile] harlequin21.livejournal.com 2007-01-02 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
How about people who have never met Orli?

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2007-01-02 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
My friends are all invited, too! You can meet him at the party. *smiles*
