Holy smokes! Yea, the last of us left the restaurant around midnight & then we hung out chatting it up some more in the parking lot 'til like 12:30 so we missed it by like 20 minutes. Good thing is they said they'd rebuild & only the "front part" of the restaurant, along w/the kitchen, really got affected.
<br><br>On a lighter note, we probably now, officially won the slashdot party contest..."Our party was so hot, we burned the house down baby!!!" =P<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/13/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">
