You know what this is...
"It's a Celebration Bitches!!!"
Youngstown, OH (AP) -- Reporting in from the South Side. Last night consumated the main reason I came home--RAD. And it was a blast.
First, a brief (at least I'll attempt) backstory. Last year, May 27th was approaching, which is the birthday of our good friend Robert Wyman. Well, Rahkeem and I decided that for everything Rob does for our group and for how good of a friend he is, he's underappreciated. So we then declared that from now on the last Friday in May will be Rob Appreciation Day (RAD for short).
Last year all we really did was go to TGI Friday's where me and Rahkeem brought a giant banner that said Rob Appreciation Day! with his face on it, outlined in pineapples (did anyone catch that reference in the last blog?).
Well, obviously I'm an extravagant person, so if I create a damn holiday, it will be respected and celebrated bigger and better every year. So Rahkeem started getting some plans about a week ago, and then around 2:30 yesterday afternoon we started working on it.
We decided that we'd meet at Friday's at 8PM, so we had 5 and a half hours to get everything ready. We decided to top our banner from last year with a Powerpoint presentation on why Rob is great, so while Rahkeem got working on that, I started decorating because we were coming back to my house afterwards for a classic AMN (Andy Movie Night). There was streamers going all around the room, and about 14 balloons scattered throughout it as well. Then since it was a movie night, we needed to have movie food, so we took Rahkeems's Sangria set and put the 6 candies into the glasses and filled the pitcher with popcorn and made a nice display.
Then we get to Friday's and after we order drinks, we give Rob his first present, a flashing tiara. After we all eat (except for Rahkeem because his food tasted like Charcoal and Devil Alfredo), we present Rob with the cake. A hostess cupcake with a '2' candle in it for celebration of the Second Annual Rob Appreciation Day. Then April went and got Birthday Cake Remix ice cream from Coldstone, and we all came back and watched the powerpoint and a movie (Date Movie... not bad, don't pay to see it though). Oh, and Rahkeem and I had 12 exploding party poppers that we would randomly shoot throughout the night.
Rob was quite appreciated.

I will admit, the candy/popcorn display was a nice touch. Impressive.

Very good Farva. Your RAD holiday sounds like fun. (better than a bullet) wish I could have been there. It is nice to hear-you had a nice time in Youngstown.

RAD was brilliant.
