I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did.  Nicole really deserves the credit for putting together such a fun evening — I mostly just helped out however she needed.  I had a great time visiting with old friends and meeting some new people as well.  I was a little disappointed that I didn't get circulate and spend more time with more people, but I guess there was just too much going on.  I especially want to thank everyone who drove up from Columbus, making sure it wasn't a total "Lilly party".

The last guests left around 2:00.  Nicole spent a little time cleaning up before we called it a night.  One post-fest benefit is that we now we can look forward to having the remainder of the 4 kegs of beer ready-to-dispense for the next several months.
