SAVE THE DATE (and find one) FOR THE PROM!

[FONT=&quot]Save the Date (and make sure to find one) for ?The Prom,? a retro-celebration to benefit the Seaside Repertory Theatre, a non-profit organization and the only professional year-round theatre company in Northwest Florida. ?The Prom,? which has been relocated to the Lyceum Lawn in Seaside, will be held Friday, April 18th at 7pm and will offer dancing to the party tunes of Hotwire, great food by Criolla?s, a full hosted bar complete with spiked punch, and crazy fun with absolutely no silent auction! The highlight of the evening will be the crowning of ?The Prom? King and Queen! Prom-goers are encouraged to dress reminiscent of their own high school prom so that attire will span the decades, or come as a ?Chaperone? dressed in normal party wear.[/FONT] Tickets to ?The Prom? are $100 and can be purchased by calling 850.231.0733 or at www.seasiderep.org. Reserved tables for eight are also available for $1,000 and must be reserved by phone. [FONT=&quot] ?The Prom? is sponsored by Dungan-Nequette Architects and Tracery Interiors.

It's a pleasant 66F degrees at the beach. John R and crew were working hard to get much set up last night, and I'm sure many, many others will add their touches along the way. We need an portable web cam, don't we, to capture the pre-prom party and then the party? That would be cool. I'm still waiting on my tux to be delivered before I go. I think they must have sent it on American Airlines. Oh well. What's a guy to do? I'm curious to see what gets spraypainted with the invisible paint, onto the white walls of seaside. Should be interesting. I also wonder if the adults will act more like kids than the kids do at their prom. Should be a special night.

Too funny! I am flipping through my five channels and I see Ed Walborsky on the Fox in the Prom commercial, then over on CBS, I see him all professional in his suit, for his attorney commercial. I really hope he uses a little of the prom commercial to loosen up the stiff legal commercials. The prom commercial is great.

Well, my tux never arrived and I didn't want to show up behind the curve of drinking when I did finally get there, so I decided to begin drinking at 5pm with the pre-prom party and now that my tux is here, I am too drunk to go. Good thing I don't have to drive home. I feel sorry for the rest of the peeps who are still drinking. I'm going to bed.

I did survive! It was a wonderful, funn party!!!! We danced and drank and danced and ate and danced and laughed and drank and danced and laughed some more! Your prom king was George Hartley and your prom queen was Cheri Peebles! In the end, the winner was all of us and the Seaside Rep. Guess who won the Napa Valley trip...bb and fff! Now, that was too funny! :clap:

I am proud of many things...the prom committee (and a hungover Mermy and Merman who worked along side everyone all day to set up) John R, all the great people who dressed up, the cute girls that came over here to makeup Mermy and I into prom beauties, and in the end, me for walking all the way home without complaining or going tinkle in the bushes and finally for not going to get a nightcap at B&A's even though Punzy called us lame for cutting out!

I was so happy to see so many sowallers at the prom! :wave:

Can I go to bed now? ;-)

I hope the rest of 'em don't get grounded for staying out past curfew.

Congrats to the Prom King and Queen and to BB & FFF! :clap:

Thanks for checking in Kitty before falling into bed. :wave:

OMG!! What funn!!!

Mr. IBD and Kitty had us laughing so hard. I would pay money just to see them dance.

THe food was very good and not what I expected at all. To keep with the "school" Prom theme Criolla's served us on lunch room trays. The food was PB&J, Kobe beef mini burgers, various pasta dishes, butter beans, cole slaw, fresh fish fingers, and the best french fries.

The Rep raised more than their goal which is wonderful. :clap:

BB was so beautiful, I swear she looked like Princess Aurora (sleeping beauty). :wub:

Congrats to her and FFF for winning the Napa trip. As BB always says....ROAD TRIP!!!

Kudos to everyone who worked on this event. I have to say that this was one of the best events that I have been to - ever.

I am soooo glad Neutrogena makes a good shampoo. I have mucho Aqua Net in my hair... :lol:

What a GRAYT time the prom was from the food to the music, the Band, and all the prom acroutrements. Kudos to everyone who helped put this together. It was truly a most memorable night. :clap:

I'll be dipping my feet in a hot tub all day tomorrow, but it was worth it.
We got called lightweights Kitty, so you're in good company. :wave:

BTW, I haven't a clue how IBD got that Aqua Net in her purse. :lol:

Precious, but she looked spot on 80's and gorgeous as all the ladies did. :wub:

And I'll never forget you doing that chicken dance like your tar.:rofl:

Congrats to the King & Queen and all the court. I've never seen anyone around here work so hard to raise money.

Did everyone's knees and hips survive the dancing? Who was the guy with the orthodontic headgear?
