Hawkins is going away!
Not “away” away. Just not going to be at TSS anymore. Today is his last day at TSS and tomorrow starts his first day of full time 9Seeds employment! We’re only 2 hours into this shindig and I’m not sure how much longer it can last. The man of the hour has accepted every drink purchased for him and as you can see, there’s an awful lot of people lined up to buy him one.
California dreamin’
Our dear friends, Hope and Don, moved…nay, abandoned us and moved to LA. They made up for it though by inviting us out to LA for Halloween weekend for what could loosely be called a housewarming. More specifically it’s hanging out and drinking beer on their new back porch, playing with the dog and keeping an eye out for their wild yard rabbit, Mikey.
Mattapalooza IV
Happy birthday, Matt! Every year Matt’s (not Malex Matt, a different one) birthday becomes somewhat of a grand celebration. It falls on the leading edge of a whole lot of stuff after a bit of a lull and as such things can get a little crazy. Crazy mostly happened last night though and today it’s just a great pool party at Sharee and Kim’s new place. They have a pool with nice big living room and family room areas connected by a kitchen. I’m not sure they know it or not but we’ve found our new party venue.
Blue Martini pre-Fremont fun
It’s the weekend! I’m going to Fremont later for some dinner, poker and a downtown pub crawl for a birthday but there was 3 hours between work and that and I -hate- going home and then going back out again. Luckily Hope had suggested a Blue Martini evening and it fits perfectly with those plans.
Monday at ye olde Blue Martini
Surprise, surprise, Hope is back in town for the week so it’s time for a very brief Blue Martini drink and dinner with those who showed up. It’s a light crew today. I’m not really sure where everyone else is but we can have fun without them, regardless. I was planning on being home reading tonight because my stack is growing but the books will wait. They’re patient like that.
