Ron called us to The Piston’s Hoop City Grille, inside the Star Theatre of Southfield. The interesting thing about this particular gathering is that it was Friday, the first day of the Memorial Day holiday weekend. So it was that none of us could stand to stay at the office very long, and we ended up starting the gathering early – like around 4:15… We had great seats in our purple fuzzy bar seats, and great service from our bartender and staff. Though my (Jeremy) steak was a bit overdone, all the rest of the food looked great. People wafted in and out of the gathering over the few hours we were there, enjoying the food, drinks, smokes, and company. Tim even handed out stogies (H.Upmann!) in honor of his beautiful new daughter. Barry and Randy called in from the boat as they opened their first Guinesses from somewhere far away. Ahoy! Officially in attendance this night: Patrick, Mike U., Jeremy, Nik, Marty, Karen, Scott S., Ron, Tim R., Mark, and Judy.
These pictures were taken on Patrick’s camera-phone, so they are seriously crappy…
