Yesterday was quite a celebration for the 40th anniversary of Manhattan Plaza. They didn't do all that much publicity for it, just flyers on the elevator and under our doors a few days ago. And when it started at 2 pm, it was very easy to find seating in the various locations.
But word must have spread that it was a really good party (and maybe also that there was decent free food). When i took a breather to check on Liam and then went back to the event a little after 4, it was standing room only. Skip went over about 5:30, when they were honoring the Manhattan Plaza AIDS Assistance Program (Skip was one of the most active helpers when that project was going on, so he was one of those called up to the front of the room during that section) and it was standing room only then, too!
