Word to the wise!

dinner theater?

Fuck the bullshit....women only want this:

www.tiffanys.com

another thing that could be cool is to have the party on the Spirit of Portland ship. They have great food, usually music and cruise up and down the river why you eat, dance ect.

DUDE

delegate man, delegate

have one of her closest friends that are ALL into the party setup type of thing work with ya ;)

Play Tom Sawyer.... it works most of the time

Note to KC:

Valentines Day is a month away. Start planning! :)

here you go

you owe me now.

Hire some type of performer or magician etc.

and a nice throw in would be a coupon book inside her b - day card. You know the type - full of certificates for massages and crap like that - and it has to be home made / crafted - women eat that shite up all the time. ahh is so .... crappy but you made it so I will hold on it it forever.

But then again I dont know much about this stuff Im not a girl in real life - i just play one on the Internet.

you, of course, can never go wrong with hiring Ron Jeremy to perform :)

before i saw the friends part i was gonna suggest going to the movies and getting a bucket of popcorn

Ya know..you will get no sympathy from me at all..
You should have thought of her..and not the craps tables..
Now your in the shit..and yes, the big 30 is important..
So..if you love her, you will do what you know you have to do..no honey I'm sorry but..
Cause ANYTHING after but is bullshit..
so..quit yer whining and do what you need to do..

Throw her a bukakke party and give her crabs.

When you die is when U R REALLY fucked out of time AND money! And she is 30 now holy shit! That's really fucking old -- you guys are almost dead! Hahaha...

BP have you talked to her best (female) friend?
She's probably told her best friend what she *hopes* you'll do or what she *thinks* you'll do, and that will give you a direction to go in.
I like the comedy club idea, I also hear the dinner theatres (where your group acts out the parts) are a fantastic time.

Do there *have* to be friends involved? Ugh.
Why not fly her down to Jamaica or something for 2 days? Call her employer, let them know and keep it hush-hush... take her out to dinner the night before like you're planning, some dancing maybe afterwards, and then instead of driving home, drive to the airport and get on a fucking plane... BAM the next thing she knows she's in sunny Jamaica watching the sun rise on her 30th birthday with her one and only true love...
Priceless. ;)

Bonepro,

Since it will be a lot of professionals, and you seem like you want the thoughtfullness points. I have a suggestion that can take care of dinner/party in Oregon.

Mind you I think the Comedy club idea is pretty fly, but unknown comics, and a 30 bday.. could spell disaster. Potential for a bad comic or two, or worse the comic could hear of the birthday and well over the hill jokes abound with you getting your ass reamed latter on.

Take a look at them, women love that sort of thing and odds are they are not booked.

Herb K recomends the Winey....

The suits will love it (there are always a few closet wine snobs in the room) and the packages are usually really cool

I checked out Coppola's estate in Napa Valley. That was OFF THE HOOK. Unbeatable in terms of spread and where else can you chill with the desk from the Godfather movies?.......talk about BP4L

Other than that, I would enlist the best friends....Cant go wrong there man, they know whats up.

Good luck Bro

My brother rented, for a week, a large, beautiful house (mansion type) on an ocean side cliff that has a private beach, the house is stocked, and has all of the amenities (in doors and out doors) one could want. I am pretty sure it is in Oregon, but I also suspect that it is booked well in advance. I just now placed a call to him to see if he remembers the name and/or URL (I had to leave a message). If you are interested I will post the info when he returns my call.

Marriage isn't much different for animals...

This place looks nice.

so give her a strap on, a box of lube jugs, and give her friends dildos, then take her to the place where you first kissed - then let the orgy begin. Halfway through it, call Domino's and get some fucking pizza.

Jesus man! do I have to think of everything for you?!?

How about instead of you. her and her friends...how about just her and her friends??? set up some spa thing for all of them... course that is lots o money.

But always, ice skating is fun...rent out a rink and about half an hour into it...get some male strippers to come on out... I'm sure they will all love it...you on the other hand might wanna dissapear into the bathroom :)

Yeah, Chan...

She had crabs bro... <img src="http://www.thefly.net/crab.jpg">

The place turns out to be in Trinidad California instead of Oregon. Here is the URL. You may want to check it out.

My brother spent a week there and loved it.

Yeah, spread out a beach blanket in the 40 degree temperature and put out a spread of Hi-Ho crackers and Cheez Whiz.

Seriously, have you looked into the possibilities at McMenamins or Timberline lodge? ...even if she doesn't ski. You can probably reserve a table and have them put together a limited party menu with people choosing from a 3 or 4 reasonably priced entrees. Save the big money for a gift, which should be a gift and not a gift certificate. Women dig jewelry and lingerie.

Sounds like a bunch of roses is a must, too.

If you have a charge card with some credit left on it, now is the time to use it.

I agree.

Well ok it's winter, hmmm, do you have a big yard? if not can you access a Big Yard?

Ok here is the plan. do a big ass fire outside, so people can be warm and still be outside, no need for a cooler the snow will be keeping your drinks cold. Make a Bar out of snow and put water on it so it ice up, you'll need chairs or benchs. You can use a BBQ outside in the winter if you didn't know...

Make it a winter wonderland, snow is cheap :)

Looks kind of small though...

use her friends as a guide, since you will catering to them as well why not use their advice.... or even have them pitch in. Why should you entertain them on your dime

Oh shit.. here ya go bone..

4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms & Sleeps 18 :thumbsup

Why would she rip your balls off for something as romantic as a picnic or a symbolic place?

Hey Boneprone ~ There's a private, custom built yacht called the Crystal Dolphin that docks in Portland and is part of www.portlandspirit.com
You can dine 50 on a two and a half hour cruise with beer, soda & wine beverages included (coctails extra), and simple 3 course meal with choices.
All for $3850.
Then if you want you can hire a cheesy cover band for an hour or something.

I don't know your budget, but feeding and entertaining her friends sounds like a big undertaking, and this would be a really memorable way to accomplish everything.

Maybe take her to the place were you two went for the 1st birthday you were together.

MT HOOD , if she likes sking thats not a bad idea.
