So Katherine decided to go off to prom this year with some other singleton friends. She opted for a tux vs a prom dress, and ended up with something accented by a very nifty green bowtie and vest. Margie crafted a boutonniere for her (and a wrist corsage for her friend Bella).
The actual prom is up at Mile High stadium, apparently at the United Airlines club level there[1]. Then afterwards she'll be going back to the high school for the "after-Prom" event, which runs (locked down) until 4 a.m.
Should be a fun time.

Have fun staying awake til 4am +Dave Hill
I am informed by my correspondent (+Kay Hill) that they have a "candy bar", being constantly restocked. Also that the music is "annoyingly modern."

+Dave Hill annoyingly modern like me watching the Grammy's and asking Mary who all the people are, or techno dance music modern?
+Stan Pedzick No clue. Though it sounds like the "Putting on the Ritz" theme is not being reflected musically.
That shade of green is perfect. Hope they have a great time!
Very attractive young people.
Further report! "They played some swing songs. Feeling better about prom"
+Dave Hill in other news, SNL just had a band on called LCD Soundsystem that sounds like they fit into the "Too Modern" statement from Kay.
+Stan Pedzick Well, there's a reason I haven't listened to the bands on SNL (for a number of decades) … 😉
Damn,. I went to prom with my guy Matt. I wore my Mom's slipper satin dress from her college years. We popped a bottle of some cheap Italian bubbly in the backseat of their car and sprayed it all over the place.
Mom was suspicious at the smell, but Matt is a good guy.
+Dave Hill well, now that the live shows are starting at 9:30pm for the rest of the season, we've been watching it. Though +Mary Oswell said that from now on we stop watching after weekend update since everything after that hasn't been that funny.
And what time did +Kay Hill get home this morning, and what time this afternoon did she get out of bed?
I picked her up and we were home by 4:20am. I slept another 5 hours; she slept about 7 hours.
