The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle‘s circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter “π” since the mid-18th century though it is also sometimes spelled out as “pi“. (Wiki) Pi has been celebrated on March 14th since March 14th is 3.14.  March 14th is also Einsteins Birthday. So the best way to celebrate anyone’s birthday is to throw a kick-ass party! This year my Pi Day Party was located at Lowell Makes. It was such a great party, I managed to throw my back out! Whoa! 🙂 Here are some pictures and some things I did to get ready for the party.

I made Pi Day Shirts for myself and Mike.  I bought some black Cotton shirts ($5.00 from Walmart, or $4.00 from Ocean State Job Lot). Then I put a piece of cardboard inside and duck taped off the design. The fabric exposed was going to get sprayed with bleach. Next time I do this I’m going to try to use a bleach pen. The longer the bleach sits the whiter it should bleach but I washed off the bleach not far in because it didn’t need to be white. It was interesting to see it change colors before your eyes. 

I printed some Cookie cutters on the 3D Printer. The single wall construction of the Cookie cutter was strong and durable enough for multiple cookies! It’s a Raspberry/Pi, No it’s a cookie! No It’s a Raspberry/Pi, No It’s a cookie! 🙂

Lots of Pies were consumed too! Apple Pie, Blueberry Pie, Raspberry Pie and Apple Pie Cookies were made and enjoyed!! All Pies had the Pi Symbol cut into the top with the cookie cutter to remind you that it’s a pie 🙂

I also made a Raspberry Pi Computer Cake…because lets celebrate EVERYTHING PI, PIE, and 3.14 🙂

We also consumed Pizza Pies too!! When it was time to cut the cake I called for a little back up in the eating field. We had the Electronic Horizons folks come down and join us for food. 🙂 And Boy did they! I’m not sure if it was the word Cake, or the word Free, but one of them started the stampede and we could hear them running…as if there was bulls chasing them down the stairs the space went from 15 people to 35 people in a heart beat! 🙂 Thankfully, I started to serve the cake before they got there otherwise our guests at the pi party might have been run over!

I will keep them in mind next time I make too much food. 🙂

Thanks to everyone who made it out for my Pi Day Party! I had a great time! It was so nice to see all of you! The party went so well, by the end of the night my back was killing me. (We weren’t even dancing…explain this one clarissa!) The next day I tried to take it easy and relax the back, I guess I made it worse since I was unable to even move on Sunday. Ugh. I guess, I’m officially too old to party!
