we went to the mexican american opportunity foundation's aztec awards tonight because mike's company was the title sponsor. the invitation clearly stated that it was a "black tie preferred" event although when we arrived, we learned that we were among the minority who actually took that request seriously.
most everyone else wore a suit and cocktail dress. oops.
i imagine that most people would be a little intimidated being totally overdressed - we showed up in a black tux and evening gown - but not us. fortunately, mike's confidence prevailed and me? i was just so excited to get all dressed up for an event that wasn't in any way related to "my" organizations that i couldn't care less that people were looking at us!
overall, the gala was pretty boring but it was at the biltmore and we did swing our black tie wearing selves into the hotel lounge for two over-priced cocktails and a half hour of live jazz music at the end which made up for it.
oh, and the kicker? we saw a young girl who looked EXACTLY like the female version of the long-haired kid from dazed and confused. i mean, it was one of the most amazing doppelganger sitings i've had in my life!
