My 17th Birthday is Coming Up!?

My 17th birthday is coming up in August and I have no idea as to what I want to do for my party...I didnt do a thing for my 16th and so this year its gotta be good. I dont want a cookout at my dad's house cuz he lives about 30 - 45 minutes away from me. SOooo I need something to do for my birthday ASAP so I can get plans together. Just me and about 10 - 15 people will probably partake in this...I need ideas!!!
