167/365. Cat Lady, the Band — Become a groupie

A day late in posting this — it was a great birthday. I was quite impressed with Spork last night. It's not common to have a restaurant make a custom menu for your birthday. It may have been the highest form of V.I.P I've ever had at any business.

Anyhow, this shot was taken immediately after closing time and happened all within a few minutes (it's all a blur now). Braden helped put together the lights, Ario held another. I dialed in the power settings, then Erin orchestrated the rest. I still barely remember this even happening — but it was great!
