Before we left we forgot to take a pic of the mascot of the event....
The Singing and Dancing Santa that was at the lobby exit. LOL
NOTE. Great event. The Dirty Muggs was outstanding. They performed cover dance and hip-hop songs even better than the original songs! The food spread from Michael Catering was standard but tasty (chicken, meatballs, pasta salad) and desserts (cheese cake, cookies, chocolate cake) and free beer from Budweiser. Celebrating a b-day that night was graphic artist Kevin Bryant.
A TMP (Too Much Playin) Moment hapenned there when a brotha had his wife take a pic of him sitting on SOUL SANTA's lap. It looked a lil bit awkward with this GROWN man sitting on his lap! LOL
