Friday · Good to Know

The fine print of the evening

Drinks

Waters & sodas on us

Beer and wine are a cash bar — that's club policy, not a choice. Waters and sodas are provided.

Music

Band from six, open-ended

The band starts at 6:00 pm with no hard end time. The evening winds down on its own schedule.

The coolers

Three coolers, one trunk

Whether all three fit is still unconfirmed — test before Friday morning so 9:00 loading isn't a surprise.

Exit plan

Slip out early, guilt-free

Out-of-town family may stay late. Brandon and Kristin are leaving early — Saturday is the big day.
