Our friend Regine has talked us into doing a lot of things a wee bit outside of our comfort zone. And for that, we thank her as we've had a ton of fun. One of the more recent things we attended was a black-tie gala / fundraiser for brain cancer research.

It was a "Black, White, and Pearls" gala, so I got some pearls for my birthday so I would be sufficiently adorned for the party. I re-used my Royal Ascot dress, and we were good to go!

The festivities took place at the Royal Hall, a Victorian-era theatre venue that was simply beautiful inside. The three course meal and wine were also top notch. After a few glasses of wine, some of our party got a little silly...

There was even a dry ice dessert! We bought all sorts of "chances to win" tickets and won a voucher for a free sunday meal and a gift certificate to a local green grocers. Sadly, no one at our table won one of the high-end pearl prizes.

It was a hoot, but most importantly, this one night alone raised enough money to fund one year's salary for a MD research intern studying brain cancer. We left light of pocket but full of heart.
