EVENTS

Paul is unhappy.
Paul is unhappy with his life. He’s unhappy with his wife. He’s unhappy with his kids, and his family, and his friends.
Life did not turn out the way that Paul wanted.
But maybe it turned out exactly the way that he deserved.

Join us for an evening celebrating Paul – the man of the hour, the party animal himself – as he moves into the next chapter of his life. There will be drinks, dancing, and perhaps just a little bit of bloodshed!

It’s his party, he can die if he wants to.

There’s three mylar balloons, all of which appear to be slightly deflated, party hats, blowers, and in the middle of the table, a nice big frosted cake with lit candles – and with a knife sticking out of it, oozing blood. The blood trickles down the side of the cake, pooling on the plate underneath it. The light glints of the blade of the knife, only halfway lodged inside the cake, which juts out at an odd angle, as though the cake has been stabbed.]
