It was a MISSION OF LOVE the 16th annual "Chicago" NEIL DIAMOND Birthday Party January 26, 2002
It all started with a charter bus trip to see SuperDiamond at the House of Blues in downtown Chicago on Friday night. It was special to see old and new Neil Friends.

The Party Room Where It Began....decorated with lots of Neil posters, and red, white and blue decorations. Each place setting had a small American Flag and a Neil Diamond Birthday Party Mug and every guest received a tortoise NDRRT guitar pick, compliments of Arch Angel.
