As I See It - 01.31.16 - Guess Who's Coming To Brunch
Just to be on the safe side, this is how my day started.
But before I could get on with my day, I had to return tothe scene of the crime Limelight to help clean up. Included in the trash were Mardi Gras beads and people's dignity.
From Limelight, I went to the home of Gerard P. who co-hosted a group of people for HRC's Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. It was a fun time with nine other people, two who were new to me.
After a lovely brunch and good discussion, we made our way to Brent and Tommy's where all of the guess gathered for dessert and more cocktails. A beautiful home. A beautiful day. Beautiful people. A good cause.

As I See It - 01.30.16 - Animal Kingdom
It was the return of the Mystery and Fantasy Mardi Gras Party but before I could get my day started, I ran into these Polish treats at Kroger on Buffalo Speedway. One word: YUM!
This annual "party for a party's sake" was again, much fun. We had just under 1200 people so the crowd was manageable. Nothing like the 1500+ a few years ago.
In a Facebook message exchange with JD Arnold, I suggested he play some David Bowie...and he did...and he one of the songs was my favorite Let's Dance.
We've already set the date for next year but I'm not willing to reveal it just yet. Just remember...2016 was a short Mardi Gras season...2017 will be a bit longer.

As I See It - 01.05.16 - The hottest ticket in town
Yep. It's time of year. It's time to start preparing for Mardi Gras.
Which means that the Mystery & Fantasy Mardi Gras Party is almost here. Because I was out of town on Sunday, I was unable to get the invitations, so Ken retrieved mine for me. I had an EPAH Board Meeting and went to his place to get them.
This theme could be interesting.

Pic(s) Of The Day - 02.08.15 - The Morning After
I actually felt pretty good on Sunday morning. On Saturday, I didn't over indulge on adult beverages and I didn't stay out late. I did eat a bunch of food that wasn't healthy but isn't that what Mardi Gras is all about? However, I did finish off some Blue Bell ice cream while I was trying to wind down.
I had a task list of things to do and one of the tasks was to decorate The Calvinator's balcony for Mardi Gras. Because of the timing of the move, I did not decorate for Christmas so I owed it to The Calvinator to decorate his balcony.
And, even though I had the decorations and the season began on January 6, it took Saturday's night Mystery & Fantasy Mardi Gras Party to really put me in the spirit of the season.

Pic(s) Of The Day - 02.07.15 - RECAP: Mystery & Fantasy Mardi Gras Party
Just a few of the many photos from Saturday night's party. We had about 1400 guests and by all accounts, everyone (who can remember) had a fun time.
Yes, this is how Mardi Gras is celebrated in Houston. We clean up pretty well, don't we?
