Anybody else going to this thing at the Costa Mesa Hilton tonight?

Alright, I’ve got a congregation of friends going to Vegas for New Year’s Eve, and by “Congregation” I mean pretty much every friend I have. I will not be joining them this year. So, having that been established, my girlfriend and I are looking for some kind of gathering to attend that evening. Huge party, small gathering, whatever. Margaret and I ( Read more... )
