Today is Megan Seling’s birthday, and to celebrate, she was assigned to write a Stranger Suggest item:

My Birthday!
(ROCK PARTY) Hell no, I’m not ashamed to write about my own party. Tonight’s show at the Croc, a celebration of my 26th (sigh) birthday, features Speaker Speaker, Sean Nelson of Harvey Danger, the Pharmacy, Juhu Beach, and Spacesuit! Am I embarrassed to ask you to come, drink, dance, and celebrate with me? No way! There will be bands I like, people I like, and cupcakes I like—all crammed into a club I like. Why would you wanna miss that? (Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave, 441-5611. 9 pm, $6, 21+.)

The cupcakes—which Megan was gonna get here—would be about $200 to feed the whole club, which is prohibitively expensive. Especially for someone to spend on their own birthday. So, strike that about their being free cupcakes for you. The thing to do, clearly, is to come to this show bearing cupcakes. Megan promises to eat every one she is offered.
