Long Island Style

After many years, the nostalgic winds of days gone by  blew through Laurel St. and revitalized it with a raging party that harkened back to the days of old when Grandpa Hobby used to live here and throw similar festivities.
On June 2nd, Captain Andrew spared no expense and threw himself a no-holds-barred birthday party for his 55th birthday, inviting everyone in his yellowed Rolodex. A band was hired, kegs were tapped, food was spread out on tables, a few hundred clams and oysters were shucked, a dancefloor barge was parked in the back yard, the property was decorated, and.....well, I'll let the photos do the talking. It must be said however that a party of such scale hadn't been seen for years around these parts, and an awesome time was had by all.

Thanks Captainero, it was a wicked good party. I'm happy I was able to help you organize it.

This is how it's done on Long Island.
