Upon receiving the invitation to a party, replying that it looks apocalyptic is not necessary. Merely a kind RSVP "yes" or "no" is all that is required. (And, yes, the location is blurred. There are insane people out there. And they are all invited.)
It's actually a photo I took at The Box back in March. Because of the low light, the camera did some wild adjustments making people at a table with drinks and candles sort of an ethereal wonderland. The phrase "Learn to cooperate with others" is from a song that will be played repeatedly during the evening.
My birthday is not apocalyptic!
