Is it morning already? This month we paid homage to your wide range of unforgettable nights. While some sixes began as the sun went down (“Night started at the Arrivals Gate.” –Solstice), others told of how the night ended up (“Prom night at a Taco Bell.”-CatsMeow). Some evenings were momentous events on the world stage (“Watching Armstrong step onto the moon.”-CuzinVin), while others were life-changing (“Midnight brought him. My blue-eyed son.” – @alexandracowqueen). Night allowed for child-like playfulness (“Nights once held mattress dancing possibility.” –Scribbling_Scribe), but also offered fun of a more adult variety (“Honeymoon. Never saw honey or moon.”-CanadaGoose). No matter how you like to spend your nights, BanjoDan summed up the near-universal reality among the nights we’ll never forget: “Unforgettable nights usually mean no sleep.”
