You bet we had a hoot and a half!
The Peach Bellini Casino and Hideaway! ... We topped ourselves once more, poemed, and expressed our deepest impulses. And as you'll see in our photo album, it was a Weekend lousy with winners -- and not just at the tables -- including: Malvolian of the Year: Alex Nazar Kocktail Kontest: Jennifer, Tuaca Tuscan Spice. ... Other entries: White Negroni (Bryan), 3PB (YOS), Death in the Afternoon (Wayne) Gown of Humility: Fred And we even had the media following us around this year. (Not, we hasten to add, for the 'police reports' page.) The spirit of Fran lives on!
