an awesome party is my fave

Sometimes your husband is in a band in college and you go to the shows and secretly admire the dance moves of the girl in the front row and then you meet that girl and it turns out she’s crazy fun and then about eight years later that girl is famous and taking her dance moves on the road and asks you to help her throw a party and even though you’re hugely pregnant you say yes and it turns out a little something like this.

The great Alison brought her How to Be Awesome tour to Denver in June and I was lucky enough to be involved as the event coordinator. I call myself lucky for several reasons. First, I got to use the gorgeous Blanc as the backdrop for the event. Second, I got to work with Denver creatives like:

- Rebecca who did the flower arrangements (and is a jack of all trades)
- Paul who illustrated every guest and who makes the funniest cards I’ve ever seen
- Heather who took these gorgeous photos
- Rachel who taught us how to weave the coolest yarn wall hangings (and is the absolute sweetest)

And who could be more fun to host with than Alison who is a fire cracker and constant inspiration?! I want to be her when I grow up.

Thank you to both Alison for trusting me to pull this off and Bing for bringing the party to Denver.
