Pre-Party Activies - 07 Oct 2005

The reunion began on the Friday, with a party at Asako's (Nobel Prize winning) house. There we gathered and acknowledged that we all looked slightly different, before heading out to a bar (Jupiter's) for a while. For my part, I took a lot of pictres, and was able to drag Beth along for the bar part.


Images
Cindy
I was one of the first couple to arrive; Cindy came shortly thereafter. This was the first good picture of the night.
D-A and Louis
Following Cindy in, from out of town.
Hannah
I think she was a bit shocked to see me with a camera. It's not like I cared in the slightest about the things back in school.
Drink Table
We feel so *adult* to be able to buy drinks now! (*laugh*)
Dinner
Quite a tasty casserole dish.
Snacks
I recognized most of the deserts... Oh, the joys of living around here.
Early Mingling
We made it to the kitchen early. (Asako, George, James, D-A, Hannah, Jenne)
Dave Asher
I think he was the only one to come in the back door.
George Petrov
He needs an eyepatch, don't ya think?
Leif
One of the guys I most enjoyed hanging with back in school.
Gene
I was only in classes with him for a year, but I still remembered him.
More Mingling
Why wait for more folks to show up? (Jenne, Hannah, Leif, Asako, and Gene)
Jeffrey
One of the Uni guys I've seen the most of in the last few years, at least in glimpses. (He got his degree in ECE on our campus.)
Jeffrey and Girl
I wish I remembered her name... (Somebody will now remind me, yes?)
Gene and Jeffery
I like Gene's expression. Plus, he's kindof in focus...
Jenne and Jeffrey
There was a lot of hugging that night.
Leif and Cindy
Siting to listen to a story. Aww...
Good Cindy Expression
Yay, expressive people!
David Young
Another guy that's around town. I see him too rarely.
Nola and Megan
Another pair of old friends that made it over together.
Megan
She looks pretty young.
Brent and Kate
Kate was a very amusing spouse, I must say.
Mingling
With the people mostly arrived, mingling was definitely the order of the day.
More Mingling
I'm glad there were enough chairs. (Sari, ????, Jeffrey, Louis, George, Hannah, David, James)
Peter
One of the last to arrive is one of the townies. Isn't that always the way?
Becca
Jenne brought Becca over from the airport.
Becca Hugs Asako
Tearful reunions ahoy!
Tim Ballard
One of the many other Tims in the class. This one also did improv...
Dave and James
Techies together.
Sapna
As cheerful as always. (Sometimes it gets tricky to decide what to write.)
Sapna and Ellen
I wish I'd gotten more shots with good lighting like this.
More Story Time
Sari and Becca listen to Gene telling a story of...something. (I'm just the photographer.)
The Yearbook is Out
Becca never had this one, since she had to leave early; so the information was most helpful for her.
Sari and Hannah
Two smiling friends.
Sari and Hannah, II
Okay, so this one really came first, but it didn't really turn out as such a good shot. It's just an *amusing* shot.
Red Delicious
I still have a thing against these apples, thanks to my Dad's many Apple Labs.
Yet More Mingling
It's hard to document these kinds of things, but I'll try! (Nola, Steve, Gene, Peter, Sari, George, D-A, James, and Tim B)
Sitting Around
Regimentation takes time, but it always eventually happens. (Cindy, Sapna, Mega, Leif, Louis)
No More Chairs
I should have gotten Peter's girlfriend's name. Again, I suspect somebody will tell me.
Heading Out
To our next destination: Jupiter's!
To the Jackets
D-A wasn't cold that night, at least.
Beth and Danielle
My beautiful girlfriend and her best friend; all of us had now made it out to Jupiter's.
Hanging at Jupiter's
We eventually made it out to a bar, just like in high school. (Not really.)
Tim
Yeah, that's me. I'm a bit fuzzier now.
Waiting for a Table
Well, and talking. That's good of us. (D-A, Cindy, and Dave)
Dylan
I find it amusing that some people met us first at the bar. I'm not sure how they found us.
The Girls
Sapna, D-A, and Cindy all pose for the camera. I sometimes like the job.
Megan
I must admit, I never talked to her in school. Not once.
Hannah and Sari
The smiles were sincere. I'm still a bit shocked.
Sari
Sari really likes hamming it up for the camera. I guess it comes with the Stand-Up Territory.
Avoiding the Crowd
Beth and Danielle hid out in the corner for most of the event, to avoid my camera.
Peter, at the Bar
I'm surprised I see him around town as little as I do.
