livin la vida gatsby

I recently watched the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby for two reasons:
1) my brother is reading it in school, and it inspired me to revisit one of my favorites

2) I am currently planning a portion of my birthday extravaganza at a legitimate Speak Easy, complete with password, underground, secret entrance, etc (photos/details surely to follow) and wanted to get in the mood.
