Halloween Came Early This Year

Cedar Springs’ Halloween street party was this past weekend, and friends Jeremy and Tician came down from OKC to join the party.  A great time was had by all, even though Ticia lost her cell phone and her ID.

Since all my friends that are waiting with bated breath can now see the photos.  See the Street Party pics here, and friend pics here.

Black Tie: A Formal Engagement

When our friend Jeff invited us to the Black Tie Dinner, I had heard about it but didn’t know much.  I kind of expected a dinner with a bunch of guys in tuxedos.  What I didn’t realize is that the Black Tie raises over $1 million dollars a year for North Texas charities.  This year, Gavin Newsom was the featured speaker, and Cindy Lauper and Judy Shepard were award recipients.  Jason Walker performed several dance songs (which I thought were a little heavy with vocal runs and wanderings), though is performance of “True Colors” with Cindy Lauper’s sister on guitar was excellent.  Cindy apparently had a “family situation” that prevented her from being there, but she deliver a pre-recorded video message.

Thanks, Jeff, for inviting us to this amazing evening.  Here’s us with Jeff…
