Posted: March 1st, 2006 | Author: Crackers United | Filed under: general, music, nyc | 18 Comments »

Today, CrackersUnited.com turns one year old! It was conceived by Nghia in late February of last year and went online on March 1, 2005. The blog was initially created to share information with one another and has certainly come a long way since then. It’s been a great experience for all of us so far, we’ve met so many great people because of this little blog. Next Wednesday, we will be celebrating our 1-year anniversary cracker-style at Rothko during our monthly FRICTION showcase with Say Hi To Your Mom, The Head Set, herMajesty, and A Brief Smile. For those of you that want to get in for free, listen to KEXP every morning to win tickets!

Thanks to everyone for reading this blog!

Feel free to go back and scour through the archives while listening to the birthday playlist below.

Happy Birthday to Theo

Today June 17th marks the Birthday of one CU’s finest, Theo (aka Ted, Teddy Maz-Dawg, Vin Diesel or Theo Diesel).

We kicked it off last night with a pre-celebration at the new Red Lobster down in Times Square (check it out, pretty sweet 24/7 webcam of the area). Don’t even front. You know you want some of that tail dangling in your mouth.

Pics of the night coming soon. Happy Birthday to that monkey.

Today we at CU are taking a break from bringing you the best, because we’re celebrating the Birthday of one of our finest. That person is none other than Christian, aka Prince Harry, aka Beaker, aka Big Red, aka Spit or Swallow or whatever else he likes to call himself these days.

Even Google and Yahoo love him so much they wouldn’t dare show his devilish side.

Happy Birthday. That monkey.

Happy belated Birthday to Patrick.
