AHS Prom 2010

Last week was Prom in Aledo.

Now, many of you out there may have no idea what an Aledo even is, but the people who live there REALLY know how to throw a party.

In Aledo, Prom is a three-stage event that takes place from 5:30 in the evening, all the way until 6am the next morning. It starts with the Promenade (pronounced PROM-EN-ODD), where each couple arrives (usually in a limo of some kind), is announced individually to an audience of family members and friends, and the proceeds to walk around the gym on a red carpet...and back into their limos.

Now comes Phase 2: The Dance.
Couples arrive at the hotel downtown where Prom takes place and spend the next several hours dancing, shouting, and trying to slip in the sexy moves when the chaperons aren't looking. Suddenly, OH MY! It's almost 1! Let's go!

Enter Phase 3: Project Graduation
This part of the evening usually takes place at one of those gaming zones like Main Event and lasts until 6 in the morning. Cheap food, free games, amazing door prizes--we're talking computers, bikes, microwaves, you name it--and all the the time in the world.
When it comes down to it, those Aledo kids know how to make Prom way less lame than it's supposed to be.

Oh, that reminds me. Photos from Aledo Promenade 2010 are now online!
