Wow...sounds like a bummer! I couldn't get a ride unfortunately...so I'll see you guys next week at RTC

 

I wanted to stop by and say hi, but got distracted and drove around redmond doing donuts for an hour or two.
I love sushi, but donuts in a Porsche are even better, I'm afraid.

 

HA...snow was a biach right at the wrong time for this one!!

Lucky for me as I figured there would be some no-shows and crashed by brining both my kids! (they loved the sushi and seemed to have a great time trading stories with John's wife about all sorts of things)

As was said, maybe the 2nd annual will be a better day.... sorry we missed all of you, hope no one got into trouble in that snow - glad some had fun in it...

 

T'was the night we all got snow!


Still, we had a good turnout! Ed, Ian, Ivan, John's wife, and John


Paul, ?, Julian, Julian's wife, and Paul's wife


Food was yummy! Liver dish


Two different types of cooked fishes with sea kelp mix


Chicken with salad


Many different types of sushi. I forgot to take a picture of the mango mochi dish


Beer was plentiful


Ed


John and Ivan


Laughter aplenty too (John, his wife, wife of Julian, Julian)


Ivan and Ian


A pretty lady and me.

 

I swear it was NO FUN and I CAN handle my beer..... (man I only had (1)

Wonderful pictures.. that one outside is AMAZING!! - Thanks for sharing

 

Looks like a good time. I'm glad to hear no one got into any accidents. Some drunk guy texted me telling me that it was a mess in Bellevue so I stayed home in little Port Orchard.

Jason, is there any way we can get captions for those pictures? I don't recognize many of those faces.

 

I will add mine....

Funny looking guy holding a beer bottle, = me, Ed
2 kids = Ivan (in black) and Ian (in brown hoodie) my boys

 

I'll try to caption those that I know...I don't remember many of their names.

 

I guess beer was very plentiful You and Jody are supposed to be the name masters!

 

You must have me confused with someone else! I'm HORRIBLE with drinks and names. Must be my Asianity and deafness!

 

but good with faces... he remembered me after one meeting. The again who couold forget a pose like that ? !?!

 

You should be thankful I chose not to pose those pictures of you making those poses.

 

VERY THANKFUL ! ! (where is that "bow down and worship" smilie)

 

Sorry I missed it. I was caught out at Microsoft all day, when I went to leave snow was everywhere. My drive home was to say the least "careful". Once I got home, there was no way I was leaving.

 

Jason, I was the guy sitting beside Paul. It was nice meeting everyone last night.
