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.

New Years in DC 2005-->2006!

Janice invited us and anyone we wanted to bring to a fancy New Year's party with martinis and a chocolate fondue fountain. And after midnight I might have started a dance party. I don't know if other people were dancing actually. I just remember that I was dancing. Happiness.

After the countdown! Sipping and mingling.

We also started 2006 right with a big unhealthy breakfast at Siné Irish Pub. Happy New Year!

Goodbye Crystal City 2005

Poor Dad. I was not as packed as I thought I was. He spent a lot of time helping me finish pack and today he helped the movers get my stuff out. That's my banana plant I've managed to keep alive for 4 years so far. Let's go buddy.

Empty 12th floor Crystal City apartment. I loved this place.

Goodbye Crystal City!

Last Night in My Arlington Apartment 2005

Some of my friends came over for my last night in my apartment. End of an era! Dad comes tomorrow to help me move.

Boxes! Sort of packed and ready!
