Opening Day

Usually around this time of year; the studio, clients, and friends get an invitation to gather for the annual opening day (of the grill). There is tons of very good food, great company, and it is usually a grand ol' time.

As a Public Service Announcement, Ande was advised to put this event in context for those who are new or unfamiliar with how the studio throws a party. So, the following editorial was produced:

Excessive, & Quite Possibly, Bad For You.
