Sounds like there are quite a few of us on the bored that were conceived in 1958.

I'm a June baby.

December 1958 here.

Some were talking of a turning 50 gathering during the Fest. I know my wife Chrissa
spoke of it with Frank (Nola) & Mark (Rosetree) and a few others... could be a meet-up
theme one day by the beer tent! A photo op maybe?

I'm now 3 months into my 50's ... Whew! been there, done that!

November, 1959 and still rocking. Not quite as hard as a couple of decades ago, but I can still get out there and shake it.

Happy 50th '59'ers! Rock on with your bad selves!

Jan. 1959.

I keep saying "50 is the new 40." But I think "Fuck me I'm old" might be closer to the truth....at least that's what my knees and hips keep telling me.

I told somebody the other day I've gone from overgrown teenager to senile old fart, completely bypassing the whole mature adult phase. Woo Woo!

And how I hope we are all out there, still setting a good example for ya, when you get around to the second half of your century!

I just saw an article that 2007 had the highest birth rate in U.S. history, barely ahead of the second highest rate in 1957. I guess the height of the Festers' baby boom was 1959!

You said "Fuck me I'm old. I was already in school by 1958"
Is that variation on "Kiss me I'm Irish"?????

You said, "I told somebody the other day I've gone from overgrown teenager to senile old fart, completely bypassing the whole mature adult phase."
Quit stealing my lines!
It all happened to me at age 36... my 18 year old girlfriend went off to college (forgive me, I was a barely legal cradle robber), and I blew out remaining functional knee.... instant middle age
Sept.6 1950 for me, 25 years to the day, on even quarter centuries, after Blues legend Jimmy Reed.... 25 years after me, on the day, was born Chicago Cubs slugger Derrick Lee
big deal, right?

All that means is one more year before you get that unexpected letter...from the CARP.

If you make it to 100 down here.I still think that you get a letter from the Queen.
I dont think that I am much of a chance,but Mama Gards is more of a clean liver than me and her Mum made it to 94.

Oh yeah... I'll be sure 'n stop smoking and drinking and start eating vegies 'cos I soooo want a letter from Her Maj! :D Must admit though that Ken's 93yo mum would be chuffed to make the tonne and get the letter.... but who knows, maybe we'll finally be a republic by then.

Happy 50 y'all!

Hey, we're not old, we're just finely aged like great wine!

June of '52 for me, but very young at heart! So you just better respect your elders here - none of this calling us "seriously old".

You young whippersnapper. I remember the old days, when I was that young, could party all night and again the next day.

Since we have all this celebrating going on. We have a very special threadhead birthday coming up during festgiving. Paul Sanchez, if I'm not mistaken, is turning 50 on November 6th.

Craig's is in Nov too, but not 1959!

Yes, he is. Trying to think of something special we FestWedding-ers can do at Chickie Wah Wah that Friday. Suggestions?

We could write HIM a song and perform it..... was it Swag who is quite the songwriter?

The other thought I had... when I was researching publishing for Paul's book, you can get a hard cover book printed fairly quickly and just get one copy. We could do a threadhead birthday book for him... maybe all who want to could have a personal message or birthday wish printed on a page and we could include lots of threadhead photos. We could leave a bunch of blank pages for stragglers to handwrite messages. Such a nice relationship between Paul and the threadheads, it might be a nice way to commorate it. Think I'd need to allow two weeks for printing and delivery so I'd want to have all messages and photos by this coming weekend.

He responded on Facebook to my inquiry about that Friday: "That Friday night is my birthday so I'm inviting some friends to play. Alex, Matt, Craig, Shamarr, should be a hoot." - Maybe we can get one of them to pen a little ditty we could all sing along with?

Well I am very sorry to miss this as well as the rest of the Festgiving events, but I just thought I would add my quick .02 on the ditty for Paul. I am happy to help with lyrics if desired, but may I suggest a title in any event: "Dirty Sanchez." Perfect title for his 50th birthday song IMO, especially one that Alex would write. Tongue-in-cheek, of course...

Hey Nanc!
Mel and I will save you a place at the bar.

Yes, I will see you and your wonderful husband on Friday at Sullivan Hall.

As far as things going; it's like "Groundhog Day" around what's left of the office and I'm looking forward to six daze in Nawlins at the beginning of November.
