    The meat on clothes pins was not appetizing for a vegetarian like myself. It was a bit eccentric. But, I had lots of fun :)

    Elizabeth Faulkner looks a lot like the post-makeover Claire from the current season of Top Model.

  4. Richard T will probably put the photobooth pictures in the next couple of of days. You'll either see it on this thread or on the Yelp blog.

    If I see it, I'll link back to it on here.

  5. I like instant gratification too :-)

    Thing is we end up taking up to a thousand pictures and it takes a little time to sort through them and do a little editing and things like that.

    They'll be up soon.
