We Were There … Were You?

blog intro
Last weekend we blasted confetti, cut birthday cakes, danced with Brendan Fernandes, decorated with Edra Soto, listened to Lykanthea, performed magic with Jeanette Andrews, played chess with Alberto Aguilar, read with drag queens, and rocked with Lupe Fiasco—and that's not even half of what we did for our 50th-anniversary celebration! In case you weren't one of the more than 6,000 visitors who took part in our birthday weekend, we thought we'd share some of the highlights with you.

500 photos of yourself 25 years ago was not the norm but now [we don’t think twice about it]… . She saw this coming.
