Photos from AOA5
Here are a bunch of photos from AOA's 5th birthday party Thursday. It was great to see so many people -- both to meet some for the first time, and to catch up with others we don't see often enough.
Many thanks to the City Beer Hall for putting together some very tasty food and making sure everything went smoothly. And thank you to Andy Kainz Photography for the photos.
There probably weren't a lot of people who thought AOA would make it five years -- we're not sure we would have predicted it! We greatly appreciate all the support over the years. Thank you.

As always, it was a great time with a great crowd. Have I ever told you how smart your readers are? And attractive.
Also, the photographic talent you've brought in over the years has been great.
Congrats! Here's to 5 more!

The only bad thing about an AOA party is that there are too many amazing people to talk to in one night! Looking at these pictures makes me realize how badly I worked the room. Throw more parties, please!!
Happy birthday AOA - Here's to five more!

fun people watching in a great space!
but speaking of name tags...
I've only been to one other AOA birthday get together (which was delightful) so I don't know if you've had name tags in the past. I would've loved to see name tag/"I post as..." on people. Once I chatted with the three people I knew it would've been great to read someone's tag and have a more organic entree into conversations...(as opposed to standing there examining the delicious looking cupcakes while enjoying my Manhattan).

I'm also going to give a shout out to the smoked meats.

Thank you Mary, and Gregg for the invite to your fab bash!
I liked the lamb sliders,mac-cheese balls, and of course the scrumtious cupcakes! Did Coco dots make those? The frosting was heavenly! Also want to thank the gent in the dark suit, with the beard, who parted the crowd, the sweet faced fellow with the blue tee-shirt,and plaid jacket who got me a stool,and of course the cute young fellow who carried my walker down the stairs.

So many of my favorite people in these photos! Here's to another five and beyond...
