beachside houses located right next door to each other (so there was plenty of beach to be enjoyed!)

Starting proper (that is with food and booze) at 4:00 pm (or improperly earlier if you just wanna screw around while going hungry and thirsty), the party featured all the things a party should!

The party would go until the last guest had to be unburied and dragged to a cab home (or to the RDI with a note pinned to them if no clues were to be had about where home would be.)

(This is a board event only. Feel free to post between now and next year your attendance, attire, antics, deep philosophical quandaries about ownership and/or clubs, etc, etc, etc! Have fun with it and thanks for participating you wonderful people!)

Terry'd be there with a pretty girl on her arm (a pretty girl who will leave halfway through the party due to Terry drinking and semi-ignoring her). Her gift to Serah will be another hairpin to match the one she got for her during Christmas two years ago.

While she wasn't expecting such a turn out she was excited to see all the fabulous and awesome people! The night was sure to be wild and fun!

Mach worked like a fiend to get everything setup and going for the 'small affair' though in honesty he invited as many folks as he could from far and wide to come and make it one hell of a celebratory party! And once everything was setup and going? Why it was time to schmooze it up, make sure it was a jovial and kicking affair for all!

There would be a toast of course to the most awesome woman of the night by the man (one of many he was sure) and later on in the evening when the sun had long vanished below the horizon the schmuck would disappear to help set off one hell of a fireworks display. The term 'boom' was rather literal as massive mortars that would give professionals pause were set to sail along with a host of smaller affairs that were setup for guests to play with along the beach for a more personal touch. Mach would be at it mingling, entertaining, and just plain ol' hanging out until the last guest left the lone dying bonfire still going into the wee hours of the morning.
