This party was a great chance to see old friends, meet new ones, play with all kinds of flashlights, and take home some new ones.
Thanks SO much to Matt for hosting it, to Bob for working so hard to put it together, and to all the vendors (including some long-time CPFers) who donated so many cool items for door prizes! The food and drinks were both good and plentiful, the location was great, and did I mention that the folks were all fun? Thanks also to everyone who showed up-- the party wouldn't have been the same without you. To all those who couldn't make it... please come to the next one.
I'll post more pix as I get time and connectivity. If your picture isn't posted by the time I'm done, then that means that I did a lousy job as a photographer, and it came out too blurry to post; I'm sorry. I tried to get a shot of everyone who was willing to hold still for one.
Below is a picture of (most of) the cool stuff I got at the party. I really can't say enough about the generosity of the vendors who contributed so much, just so we could all have some fun.
