The guest list includes old friends and new, all of whom are sort of awesome to me. The theme for year 39 is to overcome anxieties and to "put it all out there" both literally and figuratively. Although the apartment isn't "done", a shot will be taken. Hopefully it will an exercise in exorcism of my manic demons.
Oh, and fun. Hopefully it will be a blast. Duh.
