The details
A rare night with good people
Valet parking is complimentary for guests. Details about the surprise arrive by email the week of the gathering.
Dear friends, it is a pleasure to invite you to Rowan’s fortieth birthday—an evening of dinner, old records, and stories that may improve in the retelling.
Rowan has been a steady hand and a restless mind for as long as we can remember. Join us as we honor four decades of making, wandering, and showing up.
Wear what lets you stay late. The night has no speeches longer than a song.
Hotels and rentals
Stay close, sleep easy
We’ve held a small block at the Ash & Alder Hotel, a short walk from Juniper Hall. Use code FOURTH40 when booking before September 24.
For groups who want more room, the hosts also gathered a short list of private houses nearby.
Historic stockyards
After hours
If you cannot finish the night at the main gathering, follow the brass arrow three blocks north. The back room opens at eleven and stays noisy until good sense returns.
There will be late food, a small dance floor, and transport back to the hotel every forty minutes.
