The big par-tay was for zavyn as prepared by mstutts, his partner. I have no idea if John was really surprised, but if he did, he played along quite graciously. :) It's been weeks since I've seen my friends due to my insane schedule with work, then the LISA trip in Dallas, then Thanksgiving and hosting the grandparents..., just crazy. I so needed to be back with my wonderful friends and most of them were all in one place. Brian (dan4behr's partner) was cooking, so some of you know what that means--fabulous food. No camera on this trip. zavyn is an excellent photographer that I feel it would just insult him to bring my camera. Then, again, the party was all about him. Why should he have to worry about photos? I'll remember that for the next time.

There were a ton of friends there who are also LJ friends: rtptodd, arktosnc, bearcubbnc, buzzcubnc, swindunbar, chernocub, chevydude90, exploder3211, curtimack, dan4behr, ncbubba and unbridledapathy. Did I miss anyone?
