This weekend's Mad Men party was an overwhelming success!!  Thanks to anyone who reads this who came out.  I think our floor is still sticky from spilled Maker's Mark and my Sunday morning headache definitely lingered until Monday afternoon.  Lots of time period appropriate Polaroids were taken... though some of questionable content.  

I hope everyone readies their livers for Aileen and my joint 50th birthday party.  Coming soon to the East Village's Hi-Fi Bar.   Pictures from our "46th" birthday still haunt me on Facebook.  Should be fun!

More pictures from Saturday are here.
