Tidal Wave 20th Anniversary

My friend Scott asked me to come out on Saturday night at Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, NJ to help celebrate their 20th anniversary.  Me and the wife were in… yummy food, great music and benefit for a great cause.  You don’t have to ask me twice…did I mention I like food…..   Well, the band cranked it up with almost 400 people in attendance for a completely awesome party.    I think they heard us in Atlantic City since they were so hyped up and rockin out.  Great food (Flanders) and service, cool door prizes, Kevin from Ocean Air Art doing fun tattoos (boy did he have fun…you’ll see what I mean when you get to the bottom of the pics.

I also got to meet Michael Bonkowski who is another photog.  I love talking with other photogs just to see what they are doing and bounce ideas off each other.  Mike was super nice and was there to take some shots as well.  If you need any sports photography and your in the Marlton, NJ area, he has great stuff.  Check him out at MBPics.com

In addition to be just a plain all out party fest, it was an awesome benefit as well for The Quintin Foundation which works to raise money for the fight against cancer.  Great job everybody and wow I didn’t realize how tired I was till me and the wife got home afterward.  Check out the pics and I hope you like them.  Check out Tidal Wave’s web site as well as The Quintin Foundation site too.
