the coolest nerd

Hey yos here some pics from the BBQ. Thanks again Marv, Eldo, Eric and the McChan Residence!! -faithy

Here are mine: (thanks to everyone who helped take pictures) Click below for 154 more photos.

I know it’s late notice — but if you’re free for dinner on Friday @ 7:30 come on by to Ming’s Diner (on Taraval between 31st & 32nd Ave) afterwards we’ll head a few blocks south to Fire Fly Sports Bar for a few drinks. (No, I’m not getting wasted)

Let me know if you can make it, so I know how many tables to reserve. It’ll be very informal and no more than $15/per person. Last year we had two humongous tables and hence a whole floor to ourselves. I don’t want/need any presents, but since I’ve been asked by a few people to put a list together, I’ve combined made a wishlist at amazon. It was really made for an upcoming housewarming party but it’ll do.

I’d have taken more photos but I didn’t know very many people there and my battery was running low pretty quickly.

198 photos totaling over 700mb. That’s the result of our week of debauchery, thanks to Joe, who visited for a week or two from Qatar. I probably should have separated each night out into separate galleries, but I’m too lazy. Thanks to Neil who provided quite a few of these photos. I however made no effort to differentiate them from mine. Click the more link below to access the entire 17 page gallery. Sorry to make you scroll. I’ll come up with a better solution eventually. I have to say, I really don’t remember a lot of this stuff happening. I guess that means I had fun! Thank goodness for cameras, there’d be no evidence otherwise. ^^;;

Trampolining is a lot more tiring than I remember. Despite having laundry list of dos and don’ts and not being able to play dodge ball, I had a ton of fun. The images in the gallery below were taken by The Chairman and these were taking by a number of people with Faithy’s camera.

I was able to do one flip before they told me it was against the rules.

Thanks to Neil for taking and sending over these photos.   Better late than never.  Happy Birthday Stacy!  (There are a lot of photos in here that would make a good comic.. so if you guys have any ideas let me know. (^_-);;)

Some regulars..

Some newbies..

Uncommon additions..

And everyone else.. including me. (36 photos on 3 pages, sorry for making you scroll)

What a fun new years party. Thanks to Anna and Ning for providing excellent service as always and for getting us a table. Neil supplied most of the photos taken that night. I was slacking off — I probably should carry my small camera for situations like this. It’s hard to maneuver right with a range finder style camera.

It was such a special occasion that even the Chairman made an appearance!

I can only speak for myself but I could probably say that fun was had by all. If I learned anything from NYE, it’s that nine bottles of cheap champagne is bad news. (-_-);;  I’ve had enough to last the entire year!  I’m glad I got that out of my system early this year.

There are 88 photos in the gallery below. Enjoy.

I only heard about Broomball a few weeks ago — and though it took me a while to believe that it actually existed, the idea intrigued me enough to sign up. Unfortunately I left late and got stuck in traffic, so I got there late, but I got to play photographer for the day and I think I was lucky enough to get a few awesome photos.

Please keep in mind that I just got this camera, and I haven’t learned it’s in and outs so some of them are a bit blurry and could be much better.  All of the on ice photos were taken through a telephoto lens.

A bunch of us made it up north to Tomales Bay and feasted on some awesome oysters. Here is a gallery for your amusement. A video is forthcoming.
