Chinese New Year Gathering 2005

Chinese New Year Gathering 2005

On the weekend of 12-13 Feb 2005, Eva decided to have us all gather in Chicago for some food and friends. It was an excellent time - we went to Triple Crown for dinner (three tables, 30 people!), and Phoenix for Dim Sum the next morning. I got a lot of pictures of the first part, because it just seemed like the right thing to do...

Lavesh
Lavesh was the first person to arrive besides me and Beth. It was also the first time I'd seen him in a couple of years...
Anand
Eva's "brother" was the next to show up.
Anand Friend #1
He brought a couple of friends.
Anand Friend #2
Well, fine, a small army of friends.
Sad Beth
There was no Crab Rangoon. Poor Beth!
Bwang
He couldn't stay, but he showed up anyway, to say hi.
Bwang's Sister
And he brought his sister! I really have to remember her name some day.
Toly
Toly came bearing Eva.
Eva
Our fair organizer.
Adam and Marisa
Two friends of Eva that we'd never met. They're recently married and met over the Internet; that's all I really know...
Toly and Eva
Eva was smiling nicely, at least. I tried.
Andrew
Andrew! It had been a while since I'd seen him...
Nicole
...and Nicole too. I was glad to see them both.
Bwang's Sister Again
Betty! Her name is Betty!
Businesswoman Sarah
I can just see her saying "you're breaking my balls here!". Well, maybe not.
Anand's Friends
The rest of 'em. I told you he brought an army.
Laura and Toly
They're still married, or at least I never divorced them. Oh well.
Laura and Andrew
It doesn't mean that Laura's not dating anyone else...
Table 3
Well, part of it anyway: Sarah (actually from our table), Andrew, and Laura.
Social Beth
Beth figured it was her job to take care of the two that nobody recognized. I really appreciate that kind of thing...
Rachel
Late? Rachel? No!
Mountains of Food
I think that Table 3 ordered a bit much, don't you?
Rachel Again
It's rare to see her, so I made sure to at least get a couple of shots.
Eva and Rachel
They've known each other forever, it seems.
Sarah and Sean
No matter how close those years of dating have made them...
Andrew and Nicole
...and Andrew and Nicole too...
Sean and Andrew
...Sean and Andrew will never truly be apart!
Sarah's Response to Sean and Andrew
"Keep your hands off my man, or...BLAARGH!"
