As all of you probably know, we had our five year anniversary party on Friday. It was amazing - thanks in no small part to the incredible amount of work that Vanessa and Samhita put into planning and executing the evening.
I also want to make sure to give props to the wonderful volunteers from Rutgers who ran the registration table, stuffed gift bags, and hauled music equipment - you all rock. In terms of folks volunteering their time, though, we can't thank Feministing intern Marlee enough - not only did she coordinate all of the Rutgers volunteers, she also helped tremendously with planning and even brought the gang cupcakes to keep our spirits up as we got ready the day of. Thanks, Marlee - you are the best!
Big shoutouts also go to our sponsors, who generously gave to make the party as rocking as it was: Babeland, Solstice Studio, KM Stitchery, Early 2 Bed, Tarot Card Reading by Karen, Bluestocking Bonbons, Lunapads, Feminist Press, On the Issues Magazine, Willie Mae Rock Camp, Bitch Magazine, Ice Magazine and Select Vodka.
And of course, the evening wouldn't have been complete with out the kick-ass performances by Murray Hill, Saffire, DJ Tikka Masala, Boy Skout, and an awesome talk from Kathleen Hanna.
We're going to have great pics of the night coming up (thanks Nik!) as well as some post-party highlights. (Like Kathleen Hanna giving us a trophy. For real. Proof of our love of said trophy after the jump.)

Thanks for throwing such a great party guys. Had lots of fun... and gave away a vibrating egg to a total stranger. I never thought I'd have occasion to type that sentence out.
Quick nit: You linked to everybody but Saffire. I was talking to somebody affiliated with the band after their performance, and they are online at http://www.saffire.us
Thanks Lance, I actually couldn't find their site info! Adding in now...
Oh my god!!! If Kathleen Hanna gave me a trophy I would die of awesomeness! I'm glad the party went well & the bonbons were raffled off, yay!
Holy shit! Sounds like a fun time. Any chance you'll have another one next year?
