RECAP

So here's where I recap what was the MOST amazing birthday party EVER! What a night! When I originally thought of doing an old school 80's birthday jam a few months ago, I never thought that nearly all invited guests would REALLY dress up. WOW, was I mistaken. You guys outdid yourselves.

I want to thank everyone for coming to the jam, and showing love. (Here's where I get emotional, sorry). I am so proud to be surrounded by so many wonderful, caring and suportive friends and family members. It makes me incredibly mushy just thinking about it. THANK YOU.

A few personal shout outs are in need:

1) To the World Famous DJ E.M. who did SO much for me and this party. Thank you for going all out. Now we're even. Your surprise 30th will STILL go down in history (patting myself on back), but mine was definitely one for the books. THANK YOU LOVE YOU!

2) To my sister (and Geoff) for flying up from North Carolina to partake in the 80's action. You guys looked awesome! THANK YOU! LOVE YOU!

3) To my BFF Jackie aka Cinnabuns. I can't wait to see the Video. I heard your did an amazing job interviewing everyone amid the alcohol intake. Congrats! LOL LOVE YOU!

4) To my BFF Ruthy...I know motherhood has added a whole new beautiful world to your life and our friendship, but your amazing for STILL making time to celebrate my 30th with me.
LOVE YOU!!

5) To Michael (the BEST Australian camera guy I know) Chante (Santa's Lil' Helper), Sandra (The best photog ever! Sorry for the broken lens), Ruthy F.(for makin' my makeup look FLY!) and Champion (who realy does have the best "EYE") - THANK YOU for all your help. It was greatly appreciated!

6) To the ILLEST DJ's! DJ's Ray Diamond, Rio Lopez, Best Out, Uncle Ralph McDaniels, and Ish...you guys KILLED it! To put it in perspective, at one point while I was in the bathroom, I overheard people forget about their urinary needs for a sec, to RUN upstairs because the DJ was "playing their joint". Does that mean your "flow" was so sick that people risked a UTI just to dance to what you were playing? Umm, the answer is YES. LOL

7) To my Bklyn College Crew - Always representing! ALWAYS! Years of friendship, and it's as if we never stopped meeting up at 0700. Thank you for reppin'!

8)Neo, Ladell, and LOGIC - the Dancers! The party was a party, but you guys BROUGHT the 80's funk. You guys were SO amazing, and took EVERYONE aback with your skills. Thank you for coming through!

9) The NYILFF crew - WOW! First of all, many of us JUST got to know each other just over the summer through NYILFF, but damn....what a fun group. I'm so happy to have worked and partied with you guys and I can see this party is going to continue for a very long time...Oh, and Lyndon - you won first prize as the BEST Slick Rick....you looked more like him than he does himself. LOL

10) The StonyBrook/Dominican Republic 2008 Crew - Pabblissimo! Orlando! Menudo! LOL WTF? SO unexpected.....you guys came through and STOLE the show. From the boom box, to Pablo's vinyl, to Ryan's tattoos...I can't believe the effort! BEST IN SHOW!

11) The People en Espanol Crew! Thank you SO much for coming out!

And to everyone who came out...and the gifts...and the cakes...LOL I can go on forever...
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
