My Girl's Birthday Party with Pointys!
My girl is turning 6 and has her "friend" party tomorrow. She asked for a "rockin' out" theme for her party. We are going to do mock karaoke, with microphones and HSM music (if you don't know what HSM is, you might consider yourself glad. I, somewhat strangely, kinda like it.) For props for the air guitar contest, we are making cardboard Flying V's, that the kids will decorate on their own with buttons, cardboard, pens, etc. Here is a link to the party idea:

That guy's pretty good but I wouldn't invite him to the party, he's pretty serious looking about stuff and might scare six year old children...........on the other hand, he's still lots better than a clown..........those things are just freakishly creepy, y'know Steve?

I was kinda hoping for Rev Rawk's blessing on the whole thing.Originally Posted by just strum
OG, yeah, I know what you mean about clowns. Something just not right about them! (Except JP Patches and Gertrude.)
But back to the Flying V's. Here is some guy clowning around with one.
(maybe just clowning around, the recording sounds a bit strattish.)

Yeah, I liked the idea. Some cardboard, some creativity and time, and something for the kids to do with recycled materials. A few years ago, we started getting a "Birthday Express" catalog that had a bunch of cheap, throwaway stuff in it that the advertising seemed to convince kids ( and some parents ) that you had to have to make a successful party, and spend $50 to a few Bennys buying it.: This cardboard guitar idea is creative, has to do with music, and uses cardboard that has to be thrown away anyway, and doesn't cost anything. In fact, my girl and I cooperated on the project, and got some good time together out of it. A few bucks in paint, tape, glue, sparkles, etc. and you have something fun.
I will post a few pics to show what the kids come up with!

Happy birthday Anaka.
I imagine the HSM might be getting a little old. Now you'll get to look forward to this. TJB
Personally I'd rather endure the HSM.

HBD to your daughter Steve!! They grow up so fast. The missus and I saw HSM at the theatre. It was pretty good as those things go. It wasn't too schmaltzy or annoying like the Mama Mia movie.And, it sounds better than Hannah Montana.

HSM is bad enough but Camp Rock looks even worse for my money. Teen rebellion the Disney way
BTW, do you think they know about this definition of "camp"?

both our daughters love HSM and Hannah Montana too. SVL....what a great birthday party idea. For our 11 year olds birthday back in October I just got out the Playstation 2 and loaded it up with every available version of Guitar Hero and let all the giddy girls go at it.
Funny thing was one girl was exceptionally good, but she could not out duel Ted Nugent.....she kept saying the game was cheating....so I sat down beside her and took the guitar for the next turn and beat Uncle Ted on the first try....I smiled and said, games are not built to cheat you.....you just have to exude a little "flair" and laughed.....she gave me this look like she could kill me.....but took the guitar back and continued to excel. :-)
It really amazes me at how good young kids are at most anything they try.

You omitted the part where you took her 20 bucks and told her to come back when she wants to bet again.
Steve, I forgot to say - Happy Birthday to your little girl. To repeat Tone, enjoy this time when they are small. Mine reminded me the other day that she will be 18 in October and will be able to do whatever she wants - naive kid.

Yep, have fun with 'em Steve.
Tone and Mark are right. Our youngest was 16 last October.........
Happy Birthday to your daughter, and have fun, they grow up so quick.
