“If you’re going to create unique experiences out in the world, they should also happen in our home.”
I thought that was amazing advice from my wife.
Jade Wolf is an imaginative visual artist, a powerful intuitive teacher, and a funny creative person. So for her birthday, it was time to do something special! We collaborated on a dance party in our home (our first party since pre-Covid!) and brought in a fellow Pisces friend Chris Blim for The Twin Fish Rainbow Birthday Dance Party.
It was a magical experience with a handful of Attractions, and minutes before friends arrived I realized that we needed a map, just like an amusement park.
The event featured:
?New paintings in the kitchen and bathroom by Jade
“A Wander Up Honey Hill”
“Munchin with Big Blue”
“Bright Eyes”
?“The Rainbow Portal” by Abby Jones
-It’s recommended that when passing through this portal, a compliment is exchanged.
? “The Cupcake Tree” by Abby Jones
-Homemade cupcakes in jars on our fig tree!
?Large creature murals in the side yard by Jade Wolf

?A coloring station with Jade’s Good Time Gang drawings
? “Waves” by Chris Blim
-This interactive experience shows what your voice sounds like via sound waves. Seeing people’s laughter expressed so differently through this visual language was awesome!
?The Party Name Generator by me
-Name tags for guests to create new nicknames for the party.
?Certificates awarded throughout the night for winners of unique categories.

-It’s just like karaoke, except it’s hosted by me, it’s super silly, and everyone is encouraged to let their freak flags fly!
It was all a lot of extra work, but creating a unique experience was a great way to celebrate Jade, give a gift to our friends, and start creative inspirations in our home. Now I'm curious to see what ripples outward. In any case, we had a blast and look forward to creating more attractions right here in our own home.
