Also, as a side note, Jason Alinen was kind enough to put together a slide show for the reunion, but unfortunately, the projector fizzled on Saturday morning, so we were unable to show it!
I know, sad face.
Here is the link to the photos, though, so you can enjoy the trip down memory lane despite the technology malfunction! Jason put a TON of hard work into this, and i want to be sure it's shared!

Photos and Recap!
Hello, my sweet sweet chickadees!
For those of you who i saw on Saturday and at the bar-b-que yesterday, what an absolute TREAT it was to see each and every one of you. I had the most amazing time reconnecting with friends from the past, it really was an amazingly memorable night.
For those of you who were unable to make it, you were missed! We had a lot of people asking about various alums who were MIA, and I hope that you will be able to make it to the 20-year! (which, by the way, i am NOT planning! ha! someone else can take that one on!!!)
Here are a couple of photos from the night. Arthur Shore was also busy taking some amazing photos for our viewing pleasure, and i will post those, too, when i receive them.
PHOTOS
Did you all have fun? Was there anything you wished we had done to improve the evening? My only regret was that those 5 hours seemed to fly by, i wish it could have lasted all night! Before you knew it, it was midnight ... now i know how Cinderella felt!
I hope you all stay in touch, whether it's via Facebook, email, twitter, message in a bottle, carrier pigeon, owl... was so great to get back in touch over the past year planning this thing, and i love to hear what everyone is up to now and again.
Take care, talk soon.

IT'S FINALLY HERE!
REUNION WEEKEND!
It's Friday, which means TOMORROW is our reunion!!!!!
I can barely believe it. We've been working hard for almost TWO YEARS dreaming up how to make this night the most memorable EVER. We've had a few road blocks along the way, spent WAY too much money (we don't get paid for this, you know!) and reconnected with COUNTLESS classmates over the past 12 months, all leading up to this point.
I'm so so excited!
For those of you who have not purchased tickets yet, fear not. There will still be tickets available at the door. And if you have to come late for some reason, there will be discounted tickets available after 9.30pm.
Because there is a limited number of tickets available at the door, you can call 800 954-1044 to pay for yours with a credit card, to ensure your spot in our night of fun!
I am truly excited to see all of your faces, and can't wait to reminisce about all the fun (and not so fun) times we had over 10 years ago!
Thank you to everyone who has helped put this weekend together:
Reunion Committee:
Amanda [Hooser] Giralmo
Krystle Peredo
Nicole [Whitson] Rad
Breanne Benzel
Christine Curtiss
Christian Fresco
Amanda [Dennis] Abbinanti
And also to Jason and Jessica Alinen, for putting our fabulous slideshow together!
You have no idea how much i appreciate all that you have done to help make this night a success!
xoxo
See you all very soon,
Mandy

Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered!
Hello my fellow KHS Class of 1999 alums!
You’ll be happy to hear that the reunion is only 6 days away, after which you will not have to receive an email from me EVER AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE! I know, relief, right?? ;)
But, in the meantime, we’re getting down to the home stretch, and I have been getting a bunch of emails from peeps with some questions, and thought I’d address them to you all in case you had the same concerns.
Tomorrow is the FINAL DAY to buy tickets to the SECOND BIGGEST PARTY OF 2009 (1st biggest I’m guessing is probably the Academy Awards) and your ONE AND ONLY TEN YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION! So, be sure to buy tickets before midnight tomorrow night so you don’t miss out on this adventure. I promise, it will be a night to remember. WE may even go streaking. Who knows. But it’s going to be great.
Yes, you can buy tickets at the door for those of you who love the last minute planning (Brandon, I’m pointing at YOU!)… HOWEVER, there are a LIMITED amount of tickets to be sold at the door, AND, you won’t get the cool nametags we’re making for everyone. And, you’ll be contributing to my gray hairs and anxiety about how much food and booze to get, SO, it pays to buy your tickets early. If you want to just call me and I can order for you, that works – 206.407.6567 or mandyhoov (at) hotmail (dot) com. I have an order form I can fill out for you. yay! easy as that.
There are no physical tickets. There is a list at the door and you will be on it! Totally VIP, i know.
Dress code is evening casual. Which means nothing, I know. So, ladies, I’m thinking nice dress (sundress or shift dress, no prom attire, up-do’s, free makeover at Nordies, or anything crazy like that!). Men, slacks and a nice shirt. No tie, suit jacket, or anything like that is required, it’s not Vegas. Just be comfortable! :)
The event is located at Sodo Pop, which is located directly across the street from the Starbucks Corporate Headquarters downtown, in SODO. There is street parking, some pay parking, and it shouldn’t be a problem. Event starts at 7pm and goes until midnight, when we will all make our way downtown to continue on partying into the night. Oh yes, Belltown won’t know what hit it.
No outside alcohol at the event please. I know, I sound like a teacher, gross. But I guess the bartender we’ve hired is really strict about it, and if he sees it, he’ll kick you out. So, if you DO want to bring airplane bottles or anything, make sure you drink them in the bathroom. And save me one.
It’s a cash bar, but we will be serving some yummy foods Christine (Beth) Curtiss is preparing for us. The menu will include some delicacies like fruits and veggies, antipasti platter, salmon, shrimp, meatballs, cheese plate (The good stuff, no worries!) and crackers… YUM!
There will be eating, drinking, dancing, laughing, a short awards program and a lot of memory making.
Any other questions? Don’t hesitate to ask! I’ll be sending a few more updates throughout the week, too, with any last minute info. Click here, too, for more info.
We have our final Committee meeting tonight, and plan on calling all of you who haven't bought tickets yet... so get ready for that, too! OR, save yourself from this pain and buy your ticket today! :)
That's all for now....
Can’t wait to see all of you!
