Yeah, so my birthday is coming up at the end of the month... and I was thinking of going to an Argentinian place up in Huntington, never been but I hear good things about the place, it's not too expensive (about $20-25 for a main course) and has a variety of dishes to appease those of my friends who are less adventurous with food. Yeah and then afterwards, perhaps going to a club in NYC. Do something a bit different from going to the same few dive bars like the rest of the kids do... one girl many of us knew from high school is now a minimal DJ and is spinning at a small club that's supposed to be really low-key and underground, and it would be cool to check her out.
I get a call from my one friend yesterday, saying how some other of my friends were complaining to him that my plans are too expensive and nobody wants to head into the city to drink (a lot of my friends can't have a good time unless they're drunk

) after spending "a ton" on dinner. Of course, most of my friends aren't into the whole dance music/clubbing stuff either. And my friend was trying to convince me to scale back the restaurant to something cheaper, and just have a party in my backyard or something. But, of course, I don't want to do that... hell, I figure, it's my birthday, I should pick the restaurant and place, not my fault that half of the people are fucking cheapskates. And so now people are gonna think I'm selfish. Am I really being in the wrong, here, or should I try to compromise? It's not like these people are poor and lacking cash, they all have pretty decent jobs or can procure the money in other ways easily.
