Holiday Housewarming Party

Less than a month after moving in, May & Greg managed to pull off a holiday housewarming party in their new home. Somehow I managed to avoid playing the violin for everyone, although I really wouldn't have minded, considering the wine definitely helped me relax and would help keep my fingers from racing while playing... ha ha ha... I mean, ho ho ho...

Newlyweds Abbey & Dalan

Me and my bud Annie

"My pimp hand is strong." - Howard Stern

I don't know if moonlighting as a pimp would go over well in my Catholic family. Sorry Mom, I just had to try it... ho ho ho... ho.

Me with some "ladies of the night" (they prefer that to "ho") after singing and dancing to 80s music at The Cat Club in SF. Kathy (wearing my jacket), Lori, me (wearing Kathy's jacket), Jan, & Laleh.


Just kidding, Mom.

Company Holiday Dinner

So my friend Stacey joined me as my guest for my company's holiday dinner. I hadn't seen her since the Black & White Ball back in June, so this was a good time to get caught up. She told me how tired and bad she felt, but I said "Although you may feel like crap, you look GREAT!!!" It was good to get updates on her family, friends, and Monster, her pet guinea pig.

Yuzu Happy Hour

Carmen's friends opened up a new Japanese restaurant in the Marina district of SF, and so we had friends and friends of friends converge on the place for a happy hour and dinner social event.

Carmen, don't bother me. I'm eating Kumamotos...
