...Just had to share how awesome having a prom at a museum is, especially one in downtown Chicago (and because I'm bored).
Part of the group
My date's nosegay
Field Museum entrance
Main hall
Sue the T-Rex.
Food! Same company that Oprah uses a lot. There were also six chocolate fountains. 
Dance floor...with over 1,050 people on it.
parting picture
Then it was off to a post prom cruise on the lake 
. Anyone else have pictures from their prom?

can I assume you don't have a program to lighten and "fix" photos, some of those are really dark.

The best Prom I ever attended-- A friend & I DJ'ed the Horizons Gay Prom! (Many years ago-- not this past year!)
It was a blast-- any "kids" from Horizons (Gay center in Chicago) could attend, solo or with a date. They elected 4 Kings & Queens: a Female King, a Male King, A Female Queen and (by FAR The most hotly contested race) Female Queen (When the winners name was read, I thought he proved himself the most deserving by screaming out "Damn right!")IT had all the things you expect at Prom, slow dances, pictures, flowers, awesome DJs, dinner....
It was so much fun- so many same sex couples got to dance together for the very first time that night!

Mine was pretty kick ass. It was in the Dallas World Trade center. Some of the highlights:
1) No one was dancing, so us theatre kids took over...1 slow dance the entire night at the end. OUr final song "The Mickey Mouse Club Farewell"
2) Leading my ENTIRE school in "The Time Warp" AND "Dancing Queen" (on the fountain, nonetheless)
3) The incredibly stuck up Prom Queen trying to bar a mentally challenged student because she looked better in the SAME dress (The mentally challenged girl won out, and the Prom Queen left early crying...that's why it was cool)
4) Two Words. Cheesecake. Bar.

Looks like fun! Am I the only one who's used to calling a "nosegay" a corsage? When I saw the nosegay caption, my mind swung to Seth Rudetsky for some reason...

Posted: 6/7/07 at 10:35amYour prom was in the Field Museum?? That's pretty cool, not gonna lie. We had ours at the Renaissance in Schamburg(I'm assuming you know where this is, since your prom was in Chicago).

Posted: 6/7/07 at 2:52pmIs the Renaissance the new convention center? lol I live like 2 mins from Schaumburg and don't know where it is.
