On Monday, we were honored to be special guests at the Best Events of 2009 Party with Sophia Ahmad and Jess Knight at The Lift. The night featured visits from all sorts of fancy people, including Leslie Hall, The Nadas, Datebook Diner, Jill Haverkamp, Chris Diebel, Sam Summers, Dale Stark, John Pemble and more!

In case you were too big of a poopy pants to brave the cold weather on Monday night, we’ve prepared some highlights for you:

It’s not a party without local naughty boy John Pemble (and his hair)! As you’ll see in this 12 Seconds video, he’ll be getting a lump of coal this year, but we still love him!

Big thanks to Sophia and Jess for highlighting and celebrating all of the amazing events that took place in the best city in the world this year! It has been a fabulous first year for St. Vitus and the Taxi Dancers, and we look forward to the year to come!
