For our holiday party, we pulled all the stops. Phreddy Wischusen, the dynamic and engaging personality that once was the heart of the Crofoot’s Vernor’s Lounge and now is everywhere, was the guest DJ. Frank Woodman, another memorable character, assembled his family and friends to perform a special Woodman holiday set of Christmas originals. There was a dancing, drinking and I got an awesome bird clock as a white elephant gift. I stuck to Christmas music almost all night, which was way better than it sounds.
