I got drunk and made nachos. Gram man rules for driving us around. I also danced a lot and actually made it on time for the surprise.

There was a "suprise bbq" thrown for Rich, to throw him off any scent, earlier in the day, but everyone of the attendees basically bailed early on it, which didnt make Rich too happy. He was then blindfolded, drove around the block a few times and brought upstairs into Valentine's and led into a semi-circle of about 40 friends who all yelled "Surprise!" And yes, he was blown away.

Easily the most disappointing part of the night.

Thanks Dee!! It was absolutely amazing!! So much love in the room!! I am still grinning about the whole thing!

The bar was filled with lots of my favorites from Albany, both current and former, and some boardies who made their way from out of town to celebrate.

As James said I was totally surprised, even by the fake barbecuse that was put together to keep me occupied while the party was being set up at Valentine's. Her former gig as a planner for big-scale events at NYU came in rather handy! I was told later by several people that she made it very clear to everyone that under no circumstances was anything related to the events of Saturday to be discussed on Facebook.

She got most of the DeadBeats there, and even got the rest of the Ruckus there for a reunion set!!

So much fun!

Special thanks to everyone who had a hand in planning and to Howard at Valentine's for changing the date of a band's schedule show so the party could happen.

It was a night I will definitely not forget about!

Thanks for the update. I am sorry that Terry and I could not make it either. I was thankful we could hang with rich on the beach for Ryan Montbleau on Thursday.
