What a night!

Oh what a night is right, right on til the wee small hours.
I must admit to not really being in the party mood last night, with being home with 3 young children and my love being away it wasn't a night I was looking forward to.
First I dropped in at Candy rose resort for the birthday of Lordpercy. Serina and Dax had sprung a surprise party for him and the family atmosphere was just what I needed to relax and start to enjoy myself, the fab 80's music from DJ Dax helped a lot. Thanks everyone!

Then on to Fire Island's 1930's and 40's new year bash
As always Carter and his crew had done a marvelous setup, this was Hollywood glitz and glamour at its best!
The party was in full swing when I arrived almost landing on top of Mia Linden, yes you read it right!
Fire Island parties are obviously not to be missed even for the Lindens!
The spinning globe above kept us all informed as to whose New year was approaching and every hour balloons flowed down over us and the party started again waiting for the next one!
Carter Giacobini: This was the perfect way to cap off an AMAZING year!! People were coming all night long, re-connecting, laughing... It really felt like a community event! It was FANTASTIC!

The party went on for over 14hours with never less than 30 on the sim! Some went to bed and got back up to join right back in again.
What a night, culminating in a conga line this has to be a party to be remembered forever!
I wish I could have stayed til the end, but off I went again.
This time at the invitation of Eymerich Lane and Roselinda Mayo at Roselindas' paradise I went along for a dance and a wind down after the party at Fire Island and also to meet up with Pup Witherspoon the new Miss Costa Rica, a lovely lady who fully deserves her title but for her its not about a beauty pageant, more about that later.
For now I just want to thank a few people for making my new year so special:
First and foremost has to be Carter and all the guys at Fire Island as well as Lyric and Harper who at least help me not to feel like the odd one out LOL, without you all it would have been a lonely evening *hugs* and 'Thank you'
Serina and Dax along with Mommy (Breezes Babii) and everyone at Candy rose resort, you have a special family there. Thank you so much for allowing to become part of it.
Eymerich and Roselinda I wish you all that you wish for yourselves for 2008, Thank you for a lovely time.

We look forward to 2008 with renewed hope for the future, with the friends I have made in my secondlife and all the crew of SL-Newspaper.com I wish all our readers the best for 2008

Finally but most importantly this paper would be nothing without the crew, Dixie Barbosa, Connie McMahon, Baron DeSantis, Dashwood Dayafter, Alesia Schumann, LaDonna Upshaw, Bixyl Shuftan, Nazz Lane, Delinda Dyrssen, Pelton Darkstone, Kerri Spitteler, and all the writers who have been and gone - Happy New Year to you all and many thanks from both James and I for being with us.
