McHenry Playhouse opens!!

April 29, 2008




How cool is that!!    Check out GiGi with the donut in her hand during the ribbon cutting!! (how unusual!!)  The other little girl in the picture is Riley and that is her Aunt Susan who spearheaded the opening of the McHenry location!!  The energy and excitement reminded me of the Hoffman opening with about 1/16 the stress!! (that was all on them this time!) 

I can’t tell you how incredible it was.   But I will later.  I have to get ready for the Gallery opening tonight at LUMA!!  Down town BABY!!!  I am afraid of drunken blogging tonight so I thought I better at least get the pictures from the opening out before I get all emotional again tonight with the gallery!!
