Last night's event went off terrifically! $300 was raised for Silver Lake Nature Center and A Woman's Place, plus the generous donations of nonperishable goods for the shelter.

First off, I tip my hat (or my peacock feathers) to Jaz — for arranging pretty much the whole thing and making it a reality. Her tireless energy made this event a standout one. If you had a good time last night, let her feel the love!

Another big thank you to CJ, who stepped in almost at the last minute to work as our door person. She did a terriffic job, and we love ya!

Also have to thank Pat and Marianne for helping clean up afterwards, but not a lot was needed to be done. Our guests did a great job of policing themselves!

A big zaghareet for the drummers and musicians who played during the open floor dance. Live music is a wonderful thing.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came and to those who performed — Mahira Tribe, Alexia, Mahnia, Tranceformation, Devi'ance, Tribal Spirit, Hipnosis, The Archana Dance Academy ... you were all inspirational and magical.

And lots of love to my husband Thom, who was a great emcee and kept the dance floor going as well. DJ Zophiel rocked the house last night!
