SUNDAY, March 23 2003

The look on Lauriejeane's face was priceless when she realized that that her fellow VT members had gathered in her honor.

Those in attendance included:

Giampiero
Stephanie and Gerry
T-Bone
Jenn_d
Rowangbr
Yubert
Goner
AnnK
Spartan
Lauriejeane
Sulanjulie
Patrick
lmkluque
TinKan
Dionosaur

The Guests of Honor

% The two were in the area on layover to Hawaii so it seemed only fitting for Jenn_d to make them a cake with a Hawaiin theme.

WILL WORK FOR FOOD

Wine and champagne were poured from start to finish. Guests donned matching dinner bibs, ate with their hands, and were given given only mallots to attack the selection of shellfish and eachother with. This was one night when it was perfectly acceptable to get down and dirty with the food.

    Who drank all the champagne?!?! Oh, that's right...I did. The VT crowd never disappoints, great meeting you all. It was my pleasure being hostess. I didn't expect to be hostess until 2 am on a Sunday night though!
