I got the tip off from Communications Director Michael Lourie last week that the Sunday night Club Bud party was going to be off the hook. Why? Because all the swimming competitions would be wrapped up and he expected the swimmers to come by. So I was thinking some B-list swimmers, oh how wrong I was. Golden boy Michael Phelps himself showed up, perhaps drawn by the prospect of some hitting hip-hop. Number two Ryan Lochte also made an appearance as did uber-babe Natalie Coughlin (see photo 4 in the slideshow to see what I mean).
