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 &#8211; like around 4:15&#8230; 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.
