I couldn't decide on  the proper category so Dreams and the Supernatural seemed an appropriate choice!!

We decided since this will most likely be a once in a lifetime thing to just go all out. We hired a limo. Eric Patterson just bought this one new and this was the first trip for it. We
had eight members. Dave, Chris, Heather, Doug, Doug, Harry, Jessa and me
(past and present) going . It was a wonderful trip over. Chris had prepared
mint juleps!!
We arrived  and all bailed out, which was no mean feat . The valets were very helpful asking us
what the event was we were attending, we told them, and found out we were at
the wrong Hyatt Regency!! Got back in and headed for the "Grand" Hyatt
Regency. Arrived in time for about 30 minutes of the champagne
reception..........Then a marvelous dinner, followed by the presentation of
the awards. We had to wait quite a while for we were more than halfway down
the list of nominees...plenty of time to hear our competetion win a couple
of awards! Richard Lifshey and James Bridges the producers of Last Ditch and
their friends and families were at the table next to ours. It was surreal
when the nominees in our category were announced and of course then the MC
had to tell a couple of goofy jokes to prolong the waiting.....then our name
was called out and the spotlight blinded us and we were on our way up to our
"fifteen minutes" (actually 30 seconds) of fame!! I wish you could have been with us!! It was a blast.....

Lisa asked us for comments for the newspaper but we didn't get them to her in time so here are a couple of thoughts on the whole experience.......

I can't say this is a dream
come true because it's something I honestly never dreamed of.......We have
friends and family who have been telling us for years that someday,
something very good was going to happen for us. This is it and we are so
honored to have been a part of The Last Ditch. Many thanks to Richard
Lifshey and James Bridges for finding us and loving the
music.................Susie

The feeling of being a part of the Emmy's is just undescribable. When the

   By the time we got back home we were hungry again so........ we ordered pizza (see pics) and spent a couple of hours just laughing and talking (like in the tent after the dance!!) then slowly returned to the real  world! In the past couple of days we have all had so many calls offering congratulations. We sincerely appreciate you all !
