Q102 morning man Chris Booker and girlfriend Alycia Lane walked into Club Mixx at the Borgata in Atlantic City Saturday night - only to be hit by the screams of about 85 friends and family members.

It was a 37th birthday party for Booker, and Lane, the former CBS3 anchor, started cooking up the surprise for more than a month. They have been dating about six months.

After dinner at the hotel's Ombra restaurant, she told Booker that Borgata chief executive Larry Mullin had wanted him to see a new setup and meet new employees in Mixx. Booker's actual birthday is May 20.

Among revelers were his parents, Pat and Dean McDougal, who had flown in from Ohio; Lane's sister Nicole DiBella and husband Rich, in from North Carolina; Q102 showmates Angi Taylor (in from Chicago), Diego Ramos and Blaire Galaton; the Howard Stern show's Robin Quivers; New York radio exec Tom Chiusano and wife Penelope; restaurateur Dave Magrogan and wife Shannon; stylist Nancy Amoroso and husband Lenny; and a slew of Philly TV and radio people: WMMR's Matt Cord, Fox29's Dorothy Krysiuk; WMMR's Kathy Romano; WIP's Rhea Hughes and husband Joe; WMGK's John DeBella; CBS3's Doug Kammerer and wife Holly; and CBS3/WOGL's Bob Kelly.

Borgata management gave Booker a regulation-size poker table, which was set up on the main floor of the club and tied in a giant red bow.

After partying for a few hours in Mixx, about 20 revelers spent the rest of the night at Borgata's mur.mur nightclub.
