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.

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.

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.

BTW, I haven't a clue how IBD got that Aqua Net in her purse. Precious, but she looked spot on 80's and gorgeous as all the ladies did.

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

I was called a lightweight as well, with an "L" on the forehead. :lol:

Funny thing is that I had ONE drink all night long, I was "high" on laughter and funn with friends. :wub:

The ANet made it home and I dont think I will be using it again for a while... :lol:

No wonder my body hurts so bad, it was the chicken dance. (look at my sig, I was trying to do this) :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?

knees good, hips and feet BAD

OMG! I don't know where to start, we had such a blast! ROADTRIP!!!! Can you believe it?! Jdarg sold me the tickets and I did not buy them until the last minute. We are soooooo excited! I have been bugging FFF to go there for several years, now he is ready to go.

To all of the prom committee and Seaside Rep, you all did an amazing job! The crowd, the band, the outfits were all amazing. Criolla's did such a grayt job with the food, FFF said that was the best burger he had ever had. I do have pics, but can't post until we get back to Birmingham.

Congrats to George and Cheri! Y'all raised a lot of money for the rep!

We went to a pre-party at George and Ann's and had the best time. His wife Ann was pregnant, smoking a ciggy and drinking cosmo's! Somehow we were all included in pictures for a new book "The Characters of 30-A" Can you imagine? :blink:

We were there when the guy with the head gear and braces came in.....too funny! I had not thought of head gear in 30 years!

I don't believe I have seen bangs as big as IBD's since 1987! OMG! They were hysterical! Mermaid & Merman were gorgeous as usual, Merman had some killer disco shoes, wonder if they come in my size? Mango was wearing a poofy shouldered polka dot number that was screaming the 80's, MANgo was rockin' a tuxedo t-shirt! Miss Kitty looked gorgeous and outdanced us all. Punzey was about a hot number, she looked gorgeous and I would give anything to have her hair! OH! We met WaterCourseWay on our way, she looked fabulous too! All I can say is Steel Momma is one hot momma!

When can we do it again?

BTW, my feet are killing me and I had the worst case of "grocery store feet" you have ever seen.

needs to get out more
