I'm not sure it is entirely evident who is hurting the most in this photograph...I think that Hilary and Nik take the cake (flanking the left and right of the photo) 'cause AFTER the AFTER party... (See after party photos below:)




Hilary and Nik (and Dave) decided it was funny to stay up until 7am, set off fireworks, and talk about touching turtles. It sounds like a demented 80's cult classic directed by John Hughes. I was asleep for this portion of the evening.BUT really the point of this all is to say THANKS. This party would not have been the same without ALL OF YOU!
A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF OUR ROOKIES OF THE YEAR: ERIC BRIDEN AND HIS ENTOURAGE, BABY HELENA FOR HER CUTENESS, BEN AND KATE FOR GOING OUT ON A LIMB TO MEET US ALL, AND GUY WITH THE FAUX TURTLE NECK YOU BETCHA' I'M GLAD YOU WERE THERE. WHERE DOES ONE BUY A 1/4 LENGTH TORSO TOP?
AND A BIG NOD TO OUR TOP FIVE TICKET BUYERS: DANE STEINLICHT, LUCY WOODS, ALI SIPKINS, BETH CLINE, AND FRAN SKAMSER. YOU FIVE KEPT THE FOUR OF US SEMI-SANE DURING OUR TICKETING PERIOD. okay that's enough blog shouting for a while. I'm gonna take it down to a whisper for a moment while I introduce the plan for next year.

Over the next week I will be posting all of the predictions from the 2011 prediction board. In conjunction I would like to predict that on October 1st we will be booking a Caribou Highlands Executive Townhome in a little place I call LUTSEN. Available to you at this four bedroom ski-in-ski-out condo: Hot tub and spa, snow shoeing, Nordic skiing, Alpine Skiing, Papa Charlie's Bar, beautiful people, and much more.
And you never know what might happen...2012 marks the year for the Mayan Apocalypse so get your vacation in before the world explodes.
DESTINATION NEW YEAR'S 2012.
A big thank you and Happy New Year to all who attended from Emilie Hitch, Nik Perez, Hilary Lund and Nicole Cosgrove.
