~ you and your loved ones are invited to celebrate with Karleen (Schwartz) and Chris for her 30th birthday. The date of the birth is 2/10 but we're throwing the party at our humble home, 1096 67th St., Oakland, xSan Pablo Ave., near the Ashby/Shellmound exit of I-80. here will be small mammals at this party (important if you're allergic). Party guests may receive presents or be pinched at any time. This party may evolve to freakish proportions by morning, but it'll start out with beer and scotch and wine and grub like they all do. and hopefully cake and ice cream. we have most liquors but scotch and whisky are always popular, so bring it if you got it. If you like to listen to good music, bring CDs or VHS videotapes. Karleen listens to Paul Simon, the Muppets, Bobby McFerrin, and NIN, so ignore this warning at your peril. Punk rock also available
