So the party was amazing! The band went over well and my Jello Sundaes went over even better. Which I felt good about (maybe, a little, but the day really belonged to the band). The kids have definitely gotten the live bug. Now they're practicing every day and cold calling venues. It's pretty inspiring to see, although if they do get a gig I'm totally going to run a background check on the owner. Nobody rips my kids off! I've heard way too many horror stories about sleezy club owners and stuff. I'd rather they just kept playing at home for now.

Actually the kids aren't the only ones who've gotten a big kick out of partying; I've been inspired to throw another party, too. This one's going to be a class reunion, if I can find people to attend. It's been longer than I'd like to admit since I was in high school. Do you have any tips about finding your old classmates after years have passed? If not, it's no big deal. I can always throw a different kind of party. God, now I've got the party bug! It is summertime though, so all is forgiven. Bring on the fiestas and the rockin' teenage band!
