100th Birthday Pictures!
Last night's
birthday party for animation was a huge success. We estimate we had between 60 and 75 people packed into the archive over the course of the evening. I'm not great with names (I often forget my own!) so I'll fill in what I know right now. If you see yourself or someone you know, email me the info and I'll add it. If you have more pictures, email them to me so I can share them here. Thanks for the wonderful turnout!
