I'm in hell. Birthday party at the hotel, everybody gathering in the hotel bar where I'm trying to work. Terribly dressed people everywhere.
Actually, "descending on" would be better than "gathering in."
I take it all back. I just saw something resembling a bride. That was the remains of a wedding party, not a oirthday
To clarify: The hellishness waqs not impacted by the change of event. Fortunately, they're all gone now.
