Special Thanks
This work literally couldn’t be done without the work of all these people. It took a village to get this up and running and honestly, I can’t thank them enough.
Please read the credits but I want to say that people are amazing. It is incredible what the generosity of people did to make this happen. This was a full production and everyone here paid so much attention to detail.
Anudari - Producer
Thank you for helping me understand what I really wanted to do, giving a place to sound off of, and keeping my anxieties at a minimum. Your patience and thoughtfulness took the ball of yarn of thoughts and straightened them out. Thanks for stopping me from doing the worst ideas without discouraging me from being creative. Thanks for suggesting ideas and having the patience for me to like them. Over 10 years we’ve been good friends and I can’t thank you for how amazing you’ve been. Every hour long call, every minute of conversation, it has helped me become a better and more ambitious person throughout the years. You’ve been a great friend and I can’t wait to hang out with you more.
Judy - Producer/DJ
Thank you for for the Monday meetups, the work in organizing the scavenger hunt, discussing game design, and offering your help without me even saying anything. This party was as much yours as it was mine. Thanks for every scavenger hunt idea, for every minute planning the logistics, for sweating the details so I could enjoy myself. I will always cherish a friend like yours and despite the fact we’ve known each other for less than a year, I will NEVER forget what you did here. Thanks for DJing, thanks for working out every moment, for the pep talks, for making this not feel like a lonely process. I would say ‘no one deserves a friend like you” but genuinely EVERYONE deserves a friend who gives the world to someone. I can’t wait to play more DDR with you.
Grace - Artist
Literally thank you for not knowing me yet immediately deciding to help. I will gush about you and the generosity you gave to me the whole time. It’s rare to find a shining example of a person who shows the generosity of a person throughout the experience. Thank you for the favicon, the poster art and taking some of the worst sketches and doodles into phenomenal art.
Craig - Playlist Builder
Thank you for being amazing at the playlist. It genuinely means a lot and you did such a good job. Thanks for being on the aux. Time and time again, you’ve taken the most difficult part of a party and you made it easy for me to just relax.
Krista - Scavenger Hunt Tester
Krista and I have thrown a birthday party together before so I was able to go to her at the last second and ask her to read and verify all of the items. It was AMAZING. Thank you for helping me verify all of the cards and correcting any mistakes. It was such a busy day that without your help to look at these cards, I would’ve had to spend so much time clarifying with teams. Thank you.
Additional Thanks
While y’all didn’t help in an official capacity I wanted to acknowledge you.
Will - For giving the grace to let me panic about this birthday during a vacation and stopping me from building an app….for now. But seriously, you helped be patient during vacation as I spent hours on this.
Alex - Thank you for stepping up and assigning yourself with a lot of text constantly. It was too kind of you and it meant a lot to me.
Kayla - We didn’t use the partiful but I deeply appreciate all the work you did even if we couldn’t.
Adin - I loved the brunch place you picked. Hopefully we get to try it out some time soon!
Faith - Thank you for bouncing ideas and talking about different things I could to make my life easier.
Savannah - Thanks as well for bouncing ideas. While I got so occupied to implement any of them, I will absolutely do so later!
And to those who offered to help. That alone was so nice.
