And I'll STILL almost certainly forget somebody. Please set me straight if I do. Operating under the influence here:

JP for the wonderful picture/portraits idea, for the donation of the portable spanking bench for silent auction, and for his kind generosity with the proceeds.

Tara for her tireless work on the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure (the "Save Our Tits" booth), as well as the lovely ladies and great guys who offered their behinds, sold paddles, and sold tattoos, etc. for the cause. I think Tara said we raised over $700 for this great cause.

Gary of Amateurspankings, for his help in promoting the party, his participation in the suite events, and his generous offer to raffle off three of his lovely models to add to the Save Our Tits coffers. (And thanks to Emily, Amber, and Amy for being such sweet good sports!)

Wow! The vendors were amazing! They were so generous with their door prizes. Thank you to: Prysm Creations, Nurse Vicki, Cinema Swats, Dungeon Bazaar, Amateur Spankings, Bethany’s Woodshed, Paddles4Spanking, Amateur Spanking Pictures, Floggers by Jean-Paul, Heartland Implements, Spanking Interviews, Spanking Epics, Spanked4Real, DS PowerPlay, CF Publications, Cane-iac, Implements by Dean Osborne, Paddles by Mooska, and Sassypaddles.

The Spank-O-Matic was a great hit, and got loads of use, both at the parties and at the vendor fair. Thank you Paul and Kate, for bringing it over and getting it a good workout.

Thank you Todd and Suzy both for bringing out the new Spankopoly Game. Fascinating!

Thanks (I think) to Tom and Dena for the cannon. (They shot me with it!)

Thank you Goddess Kyra, for the gas. (OK. It was for the balloons...)

One other thanks to Terecia for the planks used in the icebreaker. (You know, since she wasn't doing enough.) Cool idea!

One thing I thought was really cool was the number of celebrities who attended just to have fun. Even those who vended by and large did so as an add-on to having fun with the rest of us. Thank you all so much:
Richard Windsor, Brenna, Gary, Lexi, Lisa, Skylar, Roxie, Cassie, Cat, Amber, Renee Evens, Movies Bill, Kaylex, Emily, Cookie, Sherie, Thomas III, RG and Sarah, Fred and Lin, Todd and Suzy, Cee Jay Blais, Miranda Marx, Hobbsey, Lyn, Robbie, Kaitie, Emily (Spanked Emily), Steve Richardson, Black Velvet, Mooska, Sam Spitfire, Aunt Vicky, Miss Chris, and Tom and Dena. There was also this guy I've seen on a number of spanking videos, whose name escapes me. (Sorry about that. I'm always checking out the ladies.) We were so glad to have you all join us! It's always fun to have some famous people there, but it was especially nice to see them jump in and have fun with us.

Although the party is a work of love, and a joy to throw, it is also a large responsibility. Because of those responsibilities, I was not able to get to play with all the lovely ladies I'd so hoped to play with. To those who went over my knee, THANK You! To those I missed, please forgive, and PLEASE save me a dance at the next one.

More than ever, as always, thank you to our friends who came and had fun and supported Bottoms Up. All the planning in the world, all the celerities and vendors and food and games and everything else, all are second, by far, to the sweet people who came to see us. Thank you all so much! Most especially, thank you to my friends who kept me in one piece when I needed it most.

See you next year!!!!

PS. OK. I know I forgot something. What'd I forget?
