Hello from RI!Hey Paula! Welcome, this is a great website that I simply couldn't live without right now. I have had a few 'drunken' guests

at parties but they were mostly my neighbors so I didn't really care. Besides they bought lots of stuff and told me I did a great job! Plus I got two bookings and possible fundraiser from one party!

Where in RI are you? I'm down in Hope Valley.
