Beta Bonanza Wrap Up

Hi again!  I realize this is a tad late, but I just wanted to cap off Beta Bonanza with some pictures of the event and a LOT of thank yous.  If you happened to miss anything or just want to see what other people were able to capture, please check out these awesome award-winning snapshots:

Now I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone that attended Beta Bonanza.  The flood of positive messages, IMs, updates, posts, and gifts was like nothing I've ever seen.  I know this is going to sound really cheesy, but just knowing that I was able to make so many people happy for a few hours gave me the warm fuzzies.  So thank you.  Thank you thank you thank you!

I'd also like to thank all of the wonderfully generous glitches that made this whole thing possible.

First off, a big thank you to my good friend Vermilion.  He came up with the idea of a million currant party and passed it (and everything he owned) down to me when he left the game.  Cheers friend, hope all is well with you!

Secondly, a big hug, smooch, and thanks goes out to Soupie, who has been an absolute life-saver throughout this whole thing.  Thank you for your endless encouragement, support, and ideas.  You have a sixth sense for knowing when someone needs help, especially when that someone has yet to realize it!

Next up is my team of amazing friends: CoffeeSnob, Dinghus Khan, gracerigney, haneway, HeroUnderThePine, Megha, my iron lung, rk16269, Samurai Jenn, serenitycat, Soupie, Yeti Spaghetti, Zen Biped, and zoesera!  Thank you all for putting up with my insanity and running everything so smoothly.  If you ever need anything, just say the word and I'm there!

I also want to thank Finley's Catering Services and the Herbal Apothecary Business.   If you're looking for someone to cater your party, you'll do no better than Finley's!  They've got the quickest chefs in all of Ur!  Also thank you to Britt_39 and VickyAlice139 from the Herbal Apothecary Business.  You two did the best you could with the time you had, and charged me next to nothing in the end.  Seriously they have the best herb and tincture prices I have ever seen, check em out!

Last but not least thank you to everyone that donated!  Whether it was currants, prizes, or time *cough*frantic-scramble-the-night-before*cough* it all helped!  Thank you Althea Adventurer, Aznia, Britt_39, Chichikova, CoffeeSnob, Dinghus Khan, Draron, epid, Francie, gracerigney, Hellyeah, Larva Lover, Melting Sky, Mollie, monself, Muriko, my iron lung, MykieLykesit, Mystify, natsumi, Osprey, Pirate Apples, Rook, shakha, sir rachel, Soupie, spetey, Up Chuck, Yeti Spaghetti, Zen Biped, and zoesera!  I realize I may have forgotten a few people here, so my sincere apologies to anyone that happened to get left out.

Well, looks like that's about it for the thank yous.  If you're interested in attending more parties similar to this (in style not scale lol) please check out my group, The Party of the Month Club.  As the name indicates, I hold at least one party every month.  I'm always thinking of new events and games so you can count on something new each month.  Party on glitches!
