It seems like it was FOREVER ago...all of them looked really spiffy that night in sleek, well tailored suits (except for Bell...I can't recall what he wore but I don't think it was a suit.) I just remembered that Russ Gabriel was at that party...one of the friendliest, most down to earth people I've ever met at an event like that.
