Yesterday we spoke about what made you realize, you’re getting old… 

Check out our Radiowave FM Facebook page for the post, to see what makes some people old: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18vZBKoDzx/ 

But there is a lot to be learnt from old people: 

  • Lesson 1: Don’t let the loneliness get to you. 

Meet Doug. Doug is 85 years old. He’s from the Northern Hemisphere, where it’s winter right now. Winter can get lonely. So, Doug, with handwritten invitations went around his neighbourhood, braving the cold, to deliver these handwritten invitations and invited his community to “Doug’s Winter Party…” 

On the invitation, it reads, and get ready for your heart to be broken: A celebration of winter, February 15. Food and Drinks will be there, only bring a smile…” 

  • Lesson 2: You are never too old to become an absolute LEGEND! 

Along with “Only Bring A Smile” the invite also reads: Party starts at 4PM, until the cops arrive!” 

Doug, you 85-year-old, sticking it to the man, LEGEND! 

One of Doug’s neighbour’s Michelle, shared the invite online, and this is one of those rare instances, where the internet showed it can do good things!

It went kind of viral… millions of people are now asking about “Doug’s Winter Party!” 

In fact, merchandise has already been designed!!! 

Doug's Winter Party! (Black letters, multiple shirt colors!) | A  Great...Something

(Yes, you can actually order this…)

People have asked that his neighbour, Michelle, live stream the event… But for some that isn’t enough! 

Some people have joked, and I don’t know if they’re ACTUALLY joking, that they’re hitting the road, to attend Doug’s party! Some as far as 15 hours away!

I for one, wouldn’t mind attending “Doug’s Winter Party” aka “Doug’s Post Valentine’s Rager!”

Just a headsup Doug… the internet rallied on this one… we may just have another Project X on our hands… 

Or in Doug’s case… Project LXXXV. Get it?
