Spend NYE with Yacht Rock Revue!

Each year, Kev and I spend New Years Eve with these fine-lookin’ folks:

Two years ago, we celebrated in Orlando at Disney for my very first visit.

Last year, we trekked out to Kansas City to watch the ball drop. An excellent time was had.

THIS year, Kev + I are the hosts and we’re ringing in the New Year in Atlanta! (Expectations are high.) Sooooo, we’ve decided to celebrate with Yacht Rock at Park Tavern!

If you’ve ever seen Yacht Rock perform, you KNOW that we’re in for a great time!

And, Park Tavern is an awesome place to celebrate any holiday. PT always throws a solid party…

NYE with Yacht Rock is an all-inclusive event. Drinks and food are covered all night and into the wee hours of the morning. There will be live music with Yacht Rock Revue & Atlanta’s best DJ spinning in the Piedmont Room overlooking the Midtown skyline.

Highlights include:
- Open bar: premium liquor, beer, wine and champagne
- Live music + NYE countdown with Yacht Rock Revue
- Gourmet food including hors d’ouvres, carving station, NYE specialties along with plenty of sides + salads to keep your energy up and dancing into the New Year.
- Sushi display
- Toast & get toasty with smores for dessert
- Midnight breakfast buffet including all your favorites + fresh Krispy Kreme donuts
- Photo booth
- NYE favors
- Champagne toast at midnight

This party is where it’s at on Saturday, so get your tickets NOW: NYE w/ Yacht Rock Revue!

***BONUS*** LOOK FOR ME AT PARK TAVERN totally rockin’ out to Yacht Rock…

…and I will give a fist pump + one of these super rad Q+DD koozies to the first three people who wish me a “HAPPY QUICK + DIRTY DIRTY NEW YEAR!”

Your drinks have never looked so fashionable… I can’t think of a better way to toast 2012!

‘Tis the Season to be Charitable…

Heavy stuff this morning, y’all, heavy stuff.

The Q+DD would like to direct your attention to a story we recently heard about a family in need (friends of friends):

On June 24th of this year, Aimee Bruner and Mishi Methven thought their 2.5 year-old daughter, Stella, had an ear infection. 24 hours later she was diagnosed with Diffuse Pontine Gliomas, a brain cancer commonly diagnosed in children that has a 0% survival rate.

Today, Stella is palliative and has perhaps a few months left to live. She is at home surrounded by the love of her two moms and newborn brother. She has difficulty talking, walking, sitting up unassisted, feeding herself, and swallowing. Her condition is declining daily. Since the diagnosis, both Aimee and Mishi have stopped working to spend quality time with Stella while she’s here.

Aside from being an unbelievable tragedy, the family is facing a massive financial hardship.

The Stella Joy Quilt Project was created to raise financial support and emotional comfort for Stella’s family during this incredibly difficult time in their lives. Initiated by friends and loved ones, the project gives everyone deeply touched by Stella’s story a channel to reach out and help. All financial contributions will be used to cover the family’s living expenses as they grieve Stella and care for their newborn. The outpouring of emotional support will be used to inspire and create a quilt. A tapestry of kindness, generosity, love and goodwill, the quilt will be a living memory of Stella and the inextinguishable joy she illuminated while she was here.
