#Reverb10-Catching Up
How the hell did I get 5 days behind in #reverb10? No matter. In the next few days I'm going to see if I can catch up. It's funny about these prompts.

Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans. This is the prompt that I'm going to use my "free pass" on.
