We’ll see youse guys at the Levan’s Big Misbehavin’ New Years Eve party. Evan’s gonna party with Deirdre and Grace, pop fireworks and spend the night with them. THEN we’re leaving for Rockport in the morning to fish and do fireworks with Raymond on the beach. We may spend the night in the Levan’s back house instead of driving all the way back to NB. That way we could save a hour and leave early in the morning from there. It’s taken charts and graphs to plan a way to get our hangover and redfish, too.

New Years 2005. Lots of fun stuff like these panoramic views .

In honor of Grace and Macs and publishing and BMI and other recent blog topics, here’s a very interesting four part article about low budget film production on “Harvest of Redemption“. Elida is in this movie singing “Duele” which she co-wrote and we co-publish and we recorded. I talked to the director this afternoon and it may turn into some really good exposure for Elida.

We were planning to go to the Levan’s big New Years Eve party but the planets are aligning now so that we might be able to load up and head for Rockport. Hard to pass up because it’s going to be a perfect 70 degrees all weekend.

Here’s some brand new photos from 2004. AND, following Kim’s lead I searched the blog and found her link to photos from 2003’s version. Our “web journal” archives really do work good. You can link to a specific week’s archives . That’s what was happening a year ago.

….is that I don’t have to remember anything. I was going through my mental checklist of stuff to do before the party tonight (wrap some gifts, make more chili, etc.) when I realized I didn’t remember exactly where Mitch and Hillary’s place is (only been there once, last years’ party).

Searched the blog for last years’ party annoucement. Ta da:

The big party is at Mitch and Hillary’s on Saturday. They are at 909 Mullberry. Please bring a covered dish and wine, beer or whatever.

Whee!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
