That sounds like a great party. I'll go.

I'd also love to see a Real Caroso during the day, as a class. I'll go
to that one, too. I thought that this year's Real Caroso was worth
going to -- it could certainly improve, but is worthwhile.

Major bonus points for the couple that did Fiamma d'Amore! The lady
had only done it once in a class, if I recall correctly.
