A party to celebrate Nemo's 42nd birthday

Last Saturday in November 2017
Blackstone, Queensland, Australia

Time travel theme
(that means you don't have an excuse to be late)

Opening of Nemo's 2005 timecapsule, and creation of a new one.
Contributions welcome!

In 1987, I sealed a time capsule. It was an envelope, and set on an 18 year timer, to be opened in the far-away future of the 21st century when I was 30. The year: 2005.

In 1996 I turned 21. No time capsule action, but it was halfway between birth and this event, and by some cultural norms, I was officially and adult and stuff. Appropriately, I celebrated with some embarassingly badly designed (in html!) birthday invites! Anyway, moving on.....

In 2005, at a party, this was opened and celebrated, and a new capsule was sealed. Contributions of my own and friends went into it, and as of writing, I have little recollection of anything specific I put in it, except I know I asked for written contributions on several notebooks - both collected in the months before the party, and at the party itself. This was set on a 12 year timer, in part to commemorate my original time capsule, and in part because it would open when I was 42. The Answer!

In 2017, I turned 42...

And so it will come to pass that in the year 2039, after more than two decades, the 2017 capsule shall be opened...
