Well, you've read the notes, the notes were emotional, and now it is time for you to post until the emotional cows come home.

I was exhausted and fell asleep immediately I closed my eye.... What a fun reception they had a great band with two male and two female singers and we were up and dancing most if the night

The food was amazing wth a huge cocktail hour to start and Viennese hour to finish

It must have cost them a fortune

We had our reception there almost 29 years ago but they have expanded the venue and even added a hotel since then. it us no longer the quaint English hunting club style but it was lovely and elegant

More than half of the men seemed to think. Black tie meant a suit but there were still plenty of tuxedos and Vixdad looked dapper and elegant

There were a lot of short and casual dresses too but enough gowns that I felt completely comfortable in my choice of dress

I didn't want to drag my camera to the event and not having a smartphone I have no pictures but my coworkers took plenty and have promised to email them so once I get them I will stare a couple

The salad had a ginger dressing and also had two bacon wrapped shrimp on the side

The palette cleansing glacé was brought around by the wait staff as tiny ice cream cones served in a painters palette tray... Adorable

Glad to hear the last shows went well.

My meal was filet mignon served medium rare, tender and perfect with a lovel wine sauce, a few asparagus spears, a carrot, some mushrooms and tiny roasted tomatoes and a wedge of of delicate hash browns. I wish I had my camera for my description does not adequately describe the dish or the lovely presentation

vixmom · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2016, 04:17:02 AM »

The other meal choices were chicken breast, salmon, sea bass (very popular at mt table) and a vegetarian, gluten free dish of which I cannot remember the name

The cocktail hour was huge there was one table with all Italian ant pasta items including a fresh mozzarella that was being stretched and double and cut to order...a seafood table with shrink, scallops, mussels, crablegs, a pasta table with rigatoni in a pink sauce and I g forget the other items....

vixmom · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2016, 04:25:27 AM »

Knowing there would be an excellent meal to follow I restricted my self to a couple of steamed dumplings, one scallop and one shrimp (they also had the fried versions of each) also a Couple of small pancakes of Peking duck from the Asian food table and a couple of small pieces a flank steak from the carving table oh a a quiche from the passed trays. They also had tiny glasses of tomato soup with a tiny piece of grilled cheddar cheese sandwich as a garnish. That was good too

Besides a slice of wedding cake (alight lemon cake with a chocolate chip cannoli cream filling) I had crime brûlée and a waffle wedge with fresh piped whipped cream and fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Ther had to be at least 50 other choices...but I was too full by then to indulge.

vixmom · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2016, 04:30:39 AM »

There was also a aperitif bar with a large selection... I did have a drop of kalhua in a dark chocolate cup... Vixdad passed on the offered cigars

Well I must get me to church....

I am glad the closing performances of L A now and then were so wonderful and I am looking forward to the cd and word that this work might continue to live on

Laters all!!

Sounds like quite a weekend for folks on HHW!

FJL · « **Reply #24 on:** May 22, 2016, 04:37:10 AM »

BK - How wonderful that you went out with (and recorded) such great performances!

FJL · « **Reply #25 on:** May 22, 2016, 04:37:46 AM »

vixmom, sounds like a fun time was had by all!

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** May 22, 2016, 05:01:55 AM »

I fear my day -- nay, my week -- will never live up to vixmom's posts.

What the HELL? Did someone die and get whisked off to an eater's Paradise, or what?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #28 on:** May 22, 2016, 05:04:50 AM »

Congrats to BK on an incredible show. I so look forward to hearing more new developments as the fates permit.

Woke too early, feeling like the proverbial Chinese Army had marched over me.

And now, for comic relief: allergy sneezes.
