Tonight, The OC cordially invites you to celebrate the big 18th birthday of Ryan Atwood, the do-gooder ragamuffin from the tough streets of Chino, CA. The party is expected to start out as a fun romp but will soon become too self-aware and sadly turn into a smug experience, coasting along on the buzz from the first hour until someone finally shuts it down. The evening's entertainment has been kept firmly under wraps, but we're pretty sure an indie band will show up to do an ironic cover of Journey, Foreigner or both. Guests are encouraged to let loose and have a good time but must always remember to take themselves very seriously. Ryan Atwood also reserves the right to have a maudlin moment at any time. This may involve the over-dramatic use of eye-darting, lip-stammering, and general brooding.

The party starts at 9 PM. Don't miss it!
