We should all try to speak from our own experience only. Well meaning advice can come across all wrong and, in fact, can actually be all wrong. Glad it went well, it doesn't always though, my first big party sucked, that was 2 years ago... looking forward to the big one here this friday, no worries... I got lots of awesome new eclectic christmas music to play in the background...
Sounds like you have a lot goin' on sleepie, that's awesome. I always wanted to be more artistically creative... but my talents lay elsewhere, and that's OK...
Keep comin' back!!
