Big party for all

Hey if y'all are interested, my wife is setting up a big ol shindig to celebrate the completion of the whole promotional process. We've reserved a bar here in Canby for this Sunday (B shift). I know it's a distance for some to drive, but I'd love to buy you all a cold one (or 6). Call me, email, or post if you can make it!!
