Biggest party day of 2008 you participated in:
A) 10 years later I'm still offended by this question because I abhor the concept of "party" in all of its forms. That being said, the night we opened for the Major Labels was fun, as was the entire IPO weekend. I guess November 4th was a big "party day" for America, however, I stayed home and only partied on the inside.

A) 3 way tie between buying a house (and adopting the 3 cats that live within), playing with Mike Viola, and IPO / studio marathon weekend.
