Success!!

Wow! What else can be said? The night was a success in every way imaginable. From the auctions to the t-shirt and cd sales, to the HUGE crowd and all the bands that played their a**es off, it was truly a night to remember. Thanks go out to the following people, without whom all of this would have been impossible:

We'll miss you, but we'll never forget you.
