a MONDO "Thank You" from Java
A big thank you to everyone who made
Mondo Lounge
Atomic Frolic a huge success!
(A list mostly lifted from Mary-Margaret's Thank You's.
She beat me to the punch.)
First and foremost, I have to thank my co-producer Mary-Margaret
Stratton, the brains behind Lotta
Living. She was the one who planted the seed for this event last year
during our meeting at Exotic World. I couldn't have found a better partner
