In fact, here's a pic of him from this morning... wearing Z's party girl shoes. :D

This was like 500 people dressed to the nines... and most of them had money to burn... which they were doing in vast quantities... the incidental events (silent auction, prize table, service tips) added up to over 60,000 buckeroos.
