CSI's birthday was at the end of last month, but she couldn't celebrate here in Marseille until this month. I told her I wanted to throw a sleep-over, and then I told everyone else the "full plan." You might remember from this post that she loves Chick-fil-A. She told me once that her one of her favorite things to do back in college was to go to a Chick-fil-A opening, and camp out overnight in order to be one of the First 100. I began planning while I was in the states in May, and stocked up on Chick-fil-A paraphernalia: cups, straws, lids, napkins, and bags.
So on Sept 9, 2011, the Chick-fil-A Marseille had its Grand Opening at my house! Everyone came dressed in black and white (so that we could be semi-dressed as the Chick-fil-A "cows,"), and I decked out the house in red, black and white. I printed out a bunch of the Chick-fil-A cows from the internet, and hung them all over the house. (Example: In the bathroom, the cow was wearing a sandwich board that read, "Beef is a real partee pooper." HAHAHAAHAHA.) Then, each friend brought things to make it a real Chick-fil-A experience: lemonade, sweet tea, salad, and brownies. I supplied the fried chicken and fries. Each friend also made a coupon (again, using Google images to make it look legit) to give CSI as a gift. We ate chicken, a cow cake, played games, took our "Eat Mor Chikin" picture, and stayed up watching movies while drinking cookies n cream milkshakes out of our imported cups. Fun times.
Happy Birthday, CSI!

Emily, we party-goers suggested that to CSI, since it's really her story. Maybe she'll get more free chikin...
