APL's 2nd Birthday Party and Lipdub



A week before the party we had RSVP's for 45 people. Due to some last minute illnesses and other engagements, that number dropped to 30 less than 24 hours before the party. We also had some serious time constraints introduced at the party. For example,the band had to leave by 2:00 PM for another gig. And people were just trickling in at 12:30. So we basically got everyone up to speed, did a single run-through, and then filmed it once - all within about an hour. It was frenetic and chaotic and, thanks to our amazing cast and crew, a great time. Woooohoooooo....

  1. AMAZING INCREDIBLE FUNKY JOYFUL
    Alexander's reticence and leaning into Mama at candle time were sweet and touching. I cannot stop smiling. Lively birthday guests. Karin, that wig is divine. You should wear it more often. Baruch, I never knew that you could dance. BRAVO EVERYONE.

  5. Wow! I'm just sitting here smiling....looks like so much fun. Alexander is the cutest at the end looking slightly unsure of the whole thing. Very impressive production Jamie and the gang - you have outdone yourselves! So, can we expect an encore in Montreal??

  8. Alexander's the only one with any sense in this video. He's wondering when you all lost it and who's going to take care of him now.
    Kidding.
    You're the Scorsese of Gardner Hall, James.
