His guests enjoyed fabulous vegan peanut butter and jelly cake by The Flying Apron and delicious drinks/eats by Vermillion Gallery. Charitable contributions were made by the party guests to three separate organizations close to Brad’s heart: PRIDE Foundation, Washington CASH and Cancer Lifeline.

Carol was celebrated in casual style with this Sweatpants!- themed 35th Birthday Bash. With over 300 pairs of paper sweatpants, large and small and a piazza-like festooned backyard, the party was set for perfection. Sturgeon, a crawfish boil and cheese handmade by chef Aaron Cruse complimented copious amounts of beer swilled straight from special “Carol is Turning 35″ beer coozies. A heartfelt speech by the birthday girl’s best pal was capped off with a secret spontaneous synchronized dance scene starring ten friends copied directly from the Freddie Prinze vehicle, She’s All That. The birthday girl and all of her guests celebrated in coordinated sweatpants, track suits, sweatskirts and even one Mariner’s uniform. A tequila toast served in Hard Rock Cafe shotglasses collected by the host’s uncle in as many different international cities directly preceded the Sweatpants Sweet Off Dessert competition - with the baker of a sweatpants shaped cake taking home the Sweatpants trophy. All in all it was a beautiful evening that will not be soon forgotten. Viva la sweats!

On November 9th, 2007 Forty friends gathered in a stunning condominium downtown to celebrate a tri-fecta of 30th Birthdays. A formal feast was had at a table the actual size of an Orca Whale to kick off the Whales vs. Shipwrecks themed soiree. Anti-scurvy shots were had by all to give everyone strength to compete in the post-feast Shipwrecks vs. Whales Tug-of-War. The Whale team fought mightily and prevailed only to go on with strong arguments in the Shipwrecks vs. Whales debate and sweet moves in the tie-breaking dance off.

A good time was had by all as they dined on chicken and eggplant parmigiana, homemade fettucine alfredo noodles and much more. Speeches were made, songs were sung and everyone was delighted to be part of this celebration in the idyllic neighborhood of East Sacramento.

On June 16th, 2007 family and friends of Mr. Duke gathered for a dance party to celebrate his fab 50th.

A great view of summer sky, Gaswork’s Park, Lake Union and Downtown Seattle was enjoyed by all who attended this nautical bash overlooking Seattle’s yacht headquarters.
