Prom 08'

As many of you know, each year Discount Tire throws quite the black tie event. This is to celebrate various milestones for stores in the PACWEST (Washington & Oregon). Overall it's the companies way of saying thanks for everything and enjoy this night on us. There aren't many, if any expenses spared. Roughly 500 people are in attendance. They put each person/couple up in the Grand Hyatt in downtown Seattle for the night. The evening begins with cocktail hour, this includes any/all the drinks you can imagine. Passed hors devours, an AMAZING jumbo shrimp and dungeness crab buffet display, to which I spent a good amount of time hovering over. YUM! Next a 3 course plated dinner with chicken and fish. If you manage you stay awake during the 3+ hour dinner/awards ceremony your golden. Here's were the fun begins. I love to people watch...the dancing...the drinking...all together it provides endless entertainment. This is my 8th party to attend with Josh (10th for him). Each year I am amazed at the extravagant dresses that showcase that night. The amazing hair creations and the insane amount of alcohol consumed. Which leads me to feel like I am at Prom over and over again. Well minus the alcohol...I think. :)
Around midnight they bring out mini burgers, pizza, cookies, brownies...lemon bars. Are they kidding??? Yum...can you imagine the calorie consumption all in one night!? It is only one night and a fun one at that. Here is our Prom pic...taking these makes me laugh every time.
