On the rare occasions that somebody can convince me to go to a party, my biggest mission when I get there is to find that person who makes everything fun.
Whether they're a charming enough of a goofball to get me into the spirit of the festivities or savage enough enough to make me hold my laughter in as they tear them down, I know I'll be all right as long as they're around.
And although it's rare to get so many of them together, the people we're about to meet today can fill that role perfectly.
