The Columbine High School prom was held at the Denver Design Center. It was usually a 12 hour affair. This included photos, fine dining, the dance and afterprom. Dylan Klebold and Robyn Anderson arrived to the prom in a limo. Robyn wore midnight blue satin. Dylan wore a black tuxedo and a bow tie. Dylan's hair was in a short ponytail. After dinner at Bella Ristorante, it was a short drive to the Design Center.

Eric Harris did not call Susan until early evening. She came over to Eric's and watched a movie. Later, Eric's parents came home from an anniversary dinner. They talked to Susan for awhile. Susan stayed till 11 and then went home.

The afterprom was in the Columbine gym. Eric came and joined Dylan. Blackjack, poker and craps tables were set up Las Vegas style. Parents were dressed as dealers. The afterprom lasted till dawn.

At this time, Eric and Dylan were watching two major atrocities unfold on TV. The first was Waco Texas. The other was the Oklahoma City bombing. Eric thought these two events were nothing compared to what he wanted for their atrocity. Eric already had a name for their day. It was to be called ' Judgment Day'. But first, Eric wanted to be sure Dylan was up to the challenge.
