So a bunch of us met and had dinner in Manhattan last night...at the Ginger House. Here are some pix.




First guy there...a very, very slim, trim Joe Nation.

And then the lovely Lola...and the lovely Blatham!

Lola and Joe take some time out to discuss Spendius:

Thomas finally breaks away from work to spend some time with buddies:

Finally some rather disgusting looking pictures of the food...which was actually very tasty.

I don't recall that A2Kers took a vote to authorize Lola and Blatham to travel to New York.

You are getting good at posting photos, Frank! I wish I had been there!

Did Lola and Joe really discuss spendius? Spendius and I joined A2K during the same week in November 2004. Spendi adored Lola and she was always very nice to him. The last time I got together with cicerone imposter, he also asked me about spendi. I mentioned to him that Lola and Blatham seem to be the only people willing to attempt discussion with spendi.

Great pictures, but Frank, do you always color coordinate your clothes to the
wall color of your house? Laughing

wandel, don't take things too seriously here. Frank was making a joke about
spendius....

Don't worry, I was only being half-serious, CJane. However, I actually did discuss Lola and spendi's friendship the last time I met with cicerone imposter.

@wandeljw,
Yep, Wandel...like Jane said...just a joke.

The picture looked so serious...I thought it needed a joke caption...and that came to mind.

Spendius...and several others...did come up in conversation...and as always, with a great deal of love from all of us.

We truly love our fellow A2Ker's...and I guarantee each of us would give almost anything to have each of you join us in one of our many meets each year.

(Especially at the Pan when the weather gets better!)

Hey Walter…did you see the pix of you in Bryant Park that I posted?

Hey Jane…yup, that is my favorite “warm thing” when working in my Burgundy Den!

Hey Farmerman…always good to have a ray of sunshine and warmth around.

I think that's the same shirt Thomas wore when we met up in Boston's Chinatown.

@Frank Apisa,
Ok, send me three thousand dollars.. (kidding, last time I was there it wasn't all thaaat bad. 'course I stayed at the Y. That was comedic - I've even diaryed that. Diaried? I'd listen to ehBeth the next time. Good parts, I met Diane and Roberta. The bad, I was meeting some other folks, all good people, and didn't look up Joe and Frank, though it crossed my "I wish" mind. Don't think I knew Kick then, early 2003. <wrings own neck>
