I don’t have to tell you that this Saturday is Eeyore’s 44th Birthday Party in Pease Park from 11am until dusk.

I don’t have to tell you that the concessions benefit local charities or that the beer will flow courtesy of local brewers like Real Ale, Live Oak and Independence. I don’t have to tell you about the costume contest or that you’re likely to see a little more of some of your fellow Austinites than you’d like. I definitely won’t mention the drum circle, the lines for the port-a-potties or that parking will suck. And I won’t tell you that I’ll be somewhere over by the basketball court under a tree for most of the day until my wife makes us go home.
