Rockstar karaoke party report

I've always enjoyed my birthdays and so this last Saturday marked the start of my annual week-long Stephapalooza birthday celebration. Saturday night we partied like rockstars, karaokeing and dance-dance-revolutioning till the break of dawn-- or, okay, 12:30. Same difference for the nearing-30.

We didn't get too crazy with the decor, choosing to focus more energy on the food, which I, of course, ended up with way too much of. I went as a non-drugged out, non-surgically enhanced Courtney Love and fellow birthday girl, Katie, went with a Cindy Lauper-look. Vince was supposed to be a rapper but the only bling he could find was a vampire cross-type thing. Also, check out the great curtains in the background of all the photos (more to come on this).

Other events scheduled for this year's Stephapalooza week include morning donuts, lunch with coworker buddies, dinner with girlfriends and lots of Starbucks coffee, rounded out by a much-anticipated weekend visit from Allison herself!
