PILA Semiformal Dance 2007

UVA Law's Public Interest Law Association (PILA) hosted a Benefit Auction and Semiformal Dance at the Doubletree Hotel in Charlottesville. For once, I didn't take a million pictures, so enjoy a few good ones!

Halloween 2006

We had a really fun night of Halloween celebrating. We pre-partied at my place. Sarah and Audra helped us all get ready. Then we headed over to the first real party of the night.

Post-preparty picture, after we were all dressed and made up.

Then we were off to Steve's party. Steve loves Halloween as much as I do-- and goes overboard, possibly even more than I do.

Barrister's Ball 2006

I don't agree with where UVA puts the apostrophe in Barrister's Ball, but they do so very deliberately so I will follow along. It remains my position though that the ball is for all barristers so it should be the barristers' ball and that furthermore, this is the US so it should be the Attorneys' Prom or some such thing.

We had a preparty in Ivy Gardens. We took lots of prom style pictures of people with their dates, but I'm single for this party so I only care about the group picture.

Section B Pre-partiers


Jerry and Lauren- our section couple*

We all squeezed into a van-taxi so we wouldn't have to drive.

I have my ticket!

Visiting DC- January 2006

Though I was recently in DC for New Year's Eve and stayed with Janice, I came back this weekend for Anna's wedding and stayed with Janice again through Tuesday. I took the bus down to DC on Friday, went to Janice's to take a nap, and then met up with our other friends at Ozio's for Happy Hour. (For some reason, I failed at photos here.)

Crash is blind so she might not know what's what's up with the couch.

Saturday was Anna and Mike's wedding but it was over fairly early so Cathy and I met up with my law school friend Akure afterwards. We went to my old hang out the Deluxe Diner in Crystal City.

Monday I went to the Spy Museum and crawled through some fake air ducts to prove how 007 I am. Monday evening I went to Bethany's poetry reading at Bossa Bistro on 18th street in Adams Morgan. Fun! Anyway thanks for hosting me Janice, and thanks to everyone that came out to hang out! I can't wait to come bug you again soon.
