Party With Chopsticks

Saturday night, my friend Darci took me to her work holiday party! The fun part of it is that it's actually where I used to work - at the Washington Speakers Bureau - so I would get to see old friends and dance the night away! So I got my tux, met Darci at the Fairmont Hotel downtown DC, we put on our dancing shoes and hit the party! The final verdict is that we did, indeed, dance the night away. The theme this year was an Asian/Chinese theme...either in honor of the 2008 Olympics or because they had an extra Chinese dragon costume laying around and wanted to use it. Either way, it made for a fun evening. And lots of fans sitting around for when it got hot.

But just HOW much fun did we have?

Let the pictures tell you.....

I mean right off the bat...THIS is the level of fun we were dealing with. Go Maggie!

Darci and Georgene S pose infront of the Great Wall of China. Natch.

John, Malcolm and I do a reverse Oreo. OH DAMN!

As the alcohol level went up, so did the crazy antics level. LIKE...who thought it would be a good idea to try and catch the LIVE goldfish in the centerpieces?

Look no further. It was Christine and Shanna.

Kelly S and Becky mug for a quick picture.

Georgene, Brett and Maggie get cozy for a group shot!

And then Brett and Monica got cozy for a photo. That is a lot of Brett and a lot of Cozy.

Maggie shows off her scarf from her Secret Santa.

Darci shows off her frame and gift card from her creative Secret Santa. (Good work, Nika!!!)

Old friends and cubicle wall buddies RE-UNITED! Me and Nika strike a pose!

John L and date also caught striking a pose.

Liz M and Darci flash their smiles for my lens.

Meredith contemplates what she has seen this evening.

Waiting to see Nika's reaction, if she wins the Bermuda Trip drawing.

Monica dances over to mug for the camera.

Best Friends FOREVER. To The Maxxxxxx!
