Thanks for a full house at Susie Bright Night!

I have all of five minutes at the moment so I just wanted to say a giant THANK YOU to everyone who attended on Thursday, as well as to Melena Ryzik and Jezebel for posting about the event, and all the outstanding staff of Happy Ending Lounge for adding sound downstairs, the stellar bartending, and generally being a fabulous venue. We had well over 80 people by my admittedly rough estimate and they stayed for 2+ hours of smut. Thanks as always to Desiree and Stacie Joy and also to Jen Peters for help in passing out the mounds of food. Photos below by Stacie Joy, see the full set on Flickr. Video TK and if you had a good time, tell your friends and come back March 19th for more!
