Jenna and I went to a New Year’s dinner near by at Regional.
Where the balloons took us to a new level of cute.
Then hopped on L, the most hipster of trains.
Where we arrived at Sarah and Keith’s place. (I don’t usually photo keith, because he doesn’t like it, so I’m wondering now, 6 months later, how I got this picture.)
Next door neighbor Micah, was also on hand.
It wasn’t as crowded as we had hoped (a stark constrast to last year’s party which was too crowded).
So we just posed new years-ly.
But a few more straglers arrived.
Until the main event. The first picture of the New Year.
That’s when the party really started.
Who can’t throw some craze on New Years?
Even though it did cost something.
But it didn’t stop us from looking good.
But alas, all good things must come to an end. Even as Patrick arrived.
And found an excited Nina also coming in.
Finished off the New Years in a perfect way.
Six days later, on the warmest Saturday winter has ever seen, I began my quest for full global domination.
Micah, Keith, Jeff, Paul and I squared of for a game of Risk.
Micah was very mean to me, while Jeff and I had an unnecessary struggle.
Before the Green Menace of Paul’s Back Door Asian maneuver. (you solidify Australia, and slowly take asia to dominate).
Yes, he dominated the world away from keith at the very end.
Congratulations! You Rule The World! Take a look at the video instant replay.
Afterwards, just to cap it off, we played some Truth or Dare Jenga with these two new arrivals.
