NEW YEAR'S EVE WEEKEND IN CHICAGO! These pics are from JAN 30th

Ben and I (SEPARATELY) had the same idea for party decor: JUNGLE THEME. We spent the 24 hours prior

to New Years Eve making and putting up jungle stuff in his Logan Square apartment

He and John made a volcano that would errupt at midnight. The trees are out of sponge and toothpicks

I made several trees

Chris made a meteorite that fell to earth and crushed this tree

Becky put fairy petals on the windows

Almost 2007 and time to see this mother BLOW!

That night (the 30th) I went out with Becky and Matthew

First stop was to a living room show our friend Dan put together

Afterwards to see Shelly's band Tela Novella

Gettin PUMPED for the party and to say bye to '06 !
