Ok, so the party? The party was in Maine the week of the Fourth, and the only invitees were the people already staying in the house. But there were enough invitees to make it a PARTY. And we were celebrating an engagement and a birthday. Furthermore, there was an official invitation, sent by me and my father, via email that I wrote from my Blackberry while he and I were having lunch. So, guys. It was a party.
