Ah, the Morning Star Studio--that beautiful preserved slice of 1940's ballroom goodness. What a place for a party. And what a party it was.

Nancy Gibson wanted all her friends and family to celebrate her fiftieth birthday with her. She also suggested that in lieu of gifts to her, her guests consider contributing to KRUU. Very cool of you Nancy, Thanks.

As the outreach guy, it was my pleasure to be there managing the KRUU table under the KRUU Banner. It was also a pleasure to find out that I was going to be fed. Two buffet tables were groaning under the weight of goodies from rice stuffed cherry tomatoes to birthday cake. Yum.

The evening started out with some lovely dancing by the Isadora Duncan Dancers led by Rebecca Bachar, followed with some song stylings by Janet Swartz accompanied by KRUU's own Doug Daller. At 9 the Jefferson County Green Band took over, beginning their set by saying some very nice things about KRUU. Thanks, Steve.

It was a great first gig. Lots of friendly people, great food, music and art.

Thanks for thinking about KRUU, Tom.

Oh yeah, one more thing. The wonderful blog Boing Boing has an article about some Mercury Winged Pants clips for that bike rider in your life.
