70's Party Revisited:  Anne really did a number on this one.  The party was a success and everyone had a groovy time.  The goal was to rub it in that Don was turning 40 - and Anne did a great job.  There were many 1st-timers at Area 51 for this event and some return partiers we haven't seen in a long time.  That and the grape kool-aid were a formula for success.  Equipped with a Studio 54 sign that Steve Shin whipped up for me last minute (you rock, dude!), we pulled out all the vinyls and took them for a spin:  The Tubes, Xanadu, Journey... and many more.  Anne brought the 'Undercover Brother' soundtrack.  Jill O'Campo only let me take her picture if I promised to play a Queen album from beginning to end.  Don's fire-breathing faire friend, Thomas, joined us for the first time.  He was giving chiropractic manual adjustments/massages to anyone who wanted one and entertained us with his amazing juggling magic.  Keith brought a present that took Don half an hour to find in the wrapping.  Had some good quote of the week contenders from that.  For such short notice, I am surprised we pulled off such a great party.  We were too busy having fun, we forgot to eat the birthday cake. Here's a glimpse at what some of you missed:

Friday Family Night:  Anyone up for a game of Yatzee?  Twister?  I'm having too much fun with this 70's stuff.  What a great theme Anne came up with.  I think there were some Donny & Marie and Jackson 5 records we haven't played yet <snicker>.  Hope to see you this Friday!
