prom for grown-ups

Guy's company does not have an annual holiday employee appreciation party.  Instead they save their party for the early spring, so some refer to it as a prom (Does this make me want to go more than I normally would? No duh).  Luckily I have befriended one of his co-workers, Elizabeth, and she told me about it so there was no getting out of the party for him- HA! It is always so exciting for me to attend an event as a guest- I love going to things I didn't plan (mainly to get my judge on) And like most girls, I enjoy getting dressed up.  Guy got a snappy new sport coat, but I couldn't find anything I liked anywhere so I borrowed a dress from my girlfriend Kelly- her dress collection had just what I was looking for AND it was free (take that, stupid Nordstrom Rack!) 
Hess rented out the entire Houston Museum of Nature and Science and the night was awesome. The lighting, flow, food, music- everything was extremely well executed. Guests could even view an IMAX movie about Flying Monsters every hour on the hour for free (at 10 pm after drinking all night this was FUN)- and you could get your picture taken prom-style!  Note to self: befriend the lady who planned it so she can add me to her team! By the end, my feet were killing me but we had such a good time, I think even Guy was glad we went.

that's what we industry folks call a GOBO
We clean up ok
Also- giant trilobite
Dinosaurs at night! very cool

but seriously, the lighting at midnight in the
Butterfly Pavilion is clearly as good as it gets for us
