We Were There . . . Were You?

blog intro

Last weekend we blasted confetti, cut birthday cakes, danced with Brendan Fernandes, decorated with Edra Soto, listened to Lykanthea, performed magic with Jeanette Andrews, played chess with Alberto Aguilar, read with drag queens, and rocked with Lupe Fiasco—and that's not even half of what we did for our 50th-anniversary celebration! In case you weren't one of the more than 6,000 visitors who took part in our birthday weekend, we thought we'd share some of the highlights with you.
