Allyson does not work alone. Cast of thousands.
Well, OK - mountains of cash for all involved. Seriously, though - I know of people who started out organizing parties and ended up running night clubs (this is Boston I'm talking so LA may be a whole different thing - but if it's a universal, hey, run with your talents).
Cuse kept the

! hee. I would have totally done that.
k, I know copying and pasting from other boards isn't so cool, but this post melted my heart. It's just the sort of experience I always hope to create, the ultimate goal.

... if some of the recaps seem a little too good to be true, it's because that's how the whole weekend felt. i've never had an event that i've walked into totally blind before, not knowing one single soul. some of the people i was meeting up with, i'd only talked to a few times on line, i had *no* idea what to expect. what i got was something so special, so good, it left me with a nearly inexplicable feeling of warmth and friendship. when you can walk into a room, and have someone see your name tag and scream your name before jumping up to give you a *giant* hug, well folks, that just frecking *makes* your day, ya know? and i had that happen, like 4 different times. it *blew* me away. i know i made friends this weekend that i'll always want to know. i'll care about what happens in their lives, and i already can't wait to see them next year.
my strongest recommendation to those that couldn't make it this year, would be to start saving your pennies and dimes, *now*. you do not want to miss this again next year. if that means skipping going to the movies, or not getting starbucks, what ever you have to do to save a few bucks a week, do it. you will not be sorry.
Aww. That's got to be some serious validation right there, Allyson.
Hey, look where JJ was before the party:
Hollywood couple Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have laughed off rumors they married over the weekend - insisting they were celebrating the Alias beauty's 33rd birthday with a lavish party. The stunning actress erected a huge marquee in the garden of her Brentwood, Los Angeles home on Saturday, prompting speculation Garner would wed her Daredevil co-star. Hordes of paparazzi camped outside Garner's home as Alias creator JJ Abrams and Affleck's actor brother Casey Affleck and fiancee Summer Phoenix arrived at the bash. One guest added to the rumors when he joked to the photographers as he was leaving, saying, "that was the best wedding ever." As well as actual wedding ceremony rumors, Britain's News Of The World tabloid claimed Sunday Affleck would be getting down on one knee and proposing to his girlfriend of 10-months at the bash. Affleck's representative Ken Sunshine denied Affleck and Garner were married over the weekend.
Allyson, the party rocked! I had a terrific time, and kudos to everyone involved for putting on such a great event. Hopefully, I'll be able to work on my pics and video tonight.
I'm so glad you had a great time! I was worried. You looked serious.
