LAST NIGHT AT AQUA…
…Just want to thank everyone who was at Larry Harvey’s 89th Birthday Party at Aqua Nightclub last evening! It was a super crowd of caring and loving LARRY FANS…two couples even came in from St. Paul, MN, just to be there for Larry’s Big Day! Thanks to the wonderful Bobby Nesbitt who sang his heart out for Larry…and did you know that was Bobby’s last evening at Aqua until May 5th?

It was so much fun shopping for the party with my dear friend, Billy Cartledge yesterday….we splurged at the new Dollar Store and had Aqua all decorated… goodies to nibble on, favors for everyone, and it was memorable for us all! Thanks to Gene for the super desserts, and to Danny Weathers, Cindy Lu, and, of course, Mark Watson for singing! Your being there and singing, made the evening for Larry, extra special!!!!
