LC-50.5 : Larry's Fiftieth-And-A-Half Birthday Party
Cardiac Beats Since 1955
This Saturday, July 9th, 2005 - noon to 5:05PM
Cesar Chavez Park at the Berkeley Marina
Music
Laura La Gassa starts the day with that old skool aceeed from 1995!
Followed by the birthday boy meself spinning a more-retro-than-retro extended set of music from the last five decades of my life: EasyListening.Hawaiian.Pop.Rock.Space.Dub.Ska.Industrial.Electronica.Jazz.Etc
And then to bring the day to perfection, DJ Stonie!
Location
If you don't know how to get to Cesar Chavez Park at Berkeley Marina, try entering "Breakwater Dr and Spinnaker Way, 94710" into an online mapping service like Google Maps. That intersection will be good enough to generate driving directions from where you are to Spinnaker Way at the Berkeley Marina.
Here's a nice map of the parking areas along Spinnaker Way.
Walk west along Spinnaker Way towards the bay, until the end of the road, which is a loop. Take the northward path, with the bay on your left. We'll be in the clearing on the other side of the large bushes.
Picnic Facilities
I'd love to see people bringing something tasty to share, be it ever so humble or store-bought. Mary will be bringing some delicious brownies with Kalhua frosting - yum! The site has two picnic tables, and a small bbq as well.
Please make my 50.5 birthday an occasion I'll fondly remember for years to come!
===== Volunteers Needed! =====
The bayside spot I want for the party cannot be reserved from the City Of Berkeley. That means whichever group gets to a spot first gets to claim that spot for the rest of the day if they want to. I would like to reserve the spot by getting there early in the morning, but I need someone to take over the claim staking duties from me while I get the sound system!
Please email me if you are willing get to the park at or before 9:30AM. Thanks!

Why 50.5?
Over ten years, I've wanted to celebrate my birthday with an outdoor daytime party with a bunch of good people and a sound system for the djs to spin their beautiful music. Ideally next to a large body of water that was either the Pacific Ocean or the SF Bay, for I was born in Hawaii and I can imagine the molecules of H2O connecting like a thread from California back to the islands. And I have many fond memories of dancing next to the bay and the Pacific, under the full moon, the rising sun, and the setting sun.
I counted out half a year from my birthday on the calendar and it came out to be July 9th, a Saturday! And I was on my way ...
