Party in the Garden June 8, 2004 | Archives Many JAs attended last night's Party in the Garden, helping to make it the one of the most successful "PIG," as we abbreviate it, in the Museum's history. At dinner, Ronald Lauder welcomed guests, followed by Agnes Gund, whose introductory speech for Steve Martin was SNL caliber material and brought the house down. Banjo player Curtis Eller then did a rocking routine, including some fancy foot work as well as balancing acts with coordinated strumming. Not to be outdone by Aggie or Curtis, Mr. Martin lived up to his reputation as comic genius while managing to express his gratitude for the honor and for everyone's support of the Museum. The after party started promptly at 10 pm, and by 10:05, the dance floor was packed. With breaks for refills on champagne and mini hotdogs, guests danced right up until closing time at 1am. Not bad for a Monday night. Back To Blog Main Page   Past Entries 2007 Archives Back To Blog Main Page
