Yes, yes, my apologies to everyone whom I didn't invite. I promised my friend Val (who grew up in the El Mio house) I'd limit my personal invites to a dozen or so. (
before she took off the U.K. for two weeks, came home sick, and thus throwing the party came down to me and my good friend Autumn - who painted all the Haunted Mansion artwork for the event ... though Val contributed the Tomb Sweet Tomb cross-stich, the last element to be completed, about a half hour into the party!)
As it was, we believe close to a hundred people attended ... or, as I like to assume .... 99 happy haunts.
And I'd also like to apologize for being somewhat less than a perfect host. Frankly, I was completely exhausted by the time the party started, and I really couldn't deal with the crush of people. So I stayed in the background for a lot of the event ... more of a
ghost host really ... and then propped myself awake with booze and dope, and was completely useless.
The last guests left at 5am. I took a two hour nap, then started the many days of clean-up.
Hahahaha! I must be crazy. I hope everyone had a good time. And again, I'm sorry the party wasn't at my house ... or I would have invited far more friends. Too bad I don't live in the 1887 Victorian Mansion.
