Your VINTAGE WEEKEND Roundup! April 9th – 12th !

I can feel Spring is in the air...and I think it is gonna stick this time!

It was a bizarre feeling to head out last weekend for our annual Mad Men Party only to be greeted by big fluffy snow.  So....maybe the open toe sandals "a la Megan" were not the best choice...but everyone wearing polyester enjoyed the extra warmth.

Despite the snow in April...the party was a huge success!  The lounge was groovin' thanks to DJ Swankentsein and the dance party was shakin' thanks to the With It crew! None of it would have been possible without the TVS crew! As per usual, the photo booth was a hit and a great way to look back and see how the attendees really brought the Mad Men theme to life!  To view the photo album, visit our Facebook page!

It you had to miss Mad Men...or any of the parties we have been involved with this year so far...not to worry we created a a little "Save the Date" for our upcoming major events!
