Last night we had a few friends over to do some DIY prep for the fest. Programs and VIP passes were assembled, T-Shirts folded, and sponsor contributions for the unbelievable Raffle Bags (one bag for each of the Thursday, Friday and Saturday after parties) valuing an average of $2000 each! were sorted. It took all night, but while the assembly line churned, we cooked them up a lovely dinner of linguini & mussels in a white wine butter sauce, mozzarella & prosciutto on tomato slices, perfectly rare steak, and a nice bottle of wine. Thanks guys!
