To see that the camera was in tune, I took a picture of the people assembled to eat pizza IMG_0342 and then of the pizza IMG_0343 and fries. After a few more group pictures IMG_0344 IMG_0345 Suzanne emerged IMG_0346 Ben finished most of his food IMG_0347 and Jane and Fred IMG_0348 decided to do Blair Witch project pictures.

Next, Jane took many pictures of us in our unusual costumes IMG_0349 IMG_0350 IMG_0351 IMG_0352 IMG_0353 IMG_0354 IMG_0355 IMG_0356 IMG_0357 IMG_0358 IMG_0359 IMG_0360 IMG_0361 IMG_0362 IMG_0363 as Sarah paced IMG_0364 IMG_0365 IMG_0366 withe the phone and Benjamin did his puppy dog IMG_0367 imitation.

Once we reached the ball, we recorded Peter and Seva IMG_0368 IMG_0369 IMG_0370 and what they were eating IMG_0371 and then Steven Just in various moods IMG_0372 IMG_0373 IMG_0374 IMG_0375 until I got the picture I wanted IMG_0376 as Suzanne watched IMG_0377 and Sara ate IMG_0378 causing Suzanne to eat IMG_0379 until the 2 came together IMG_0380 and plates were shown IMG_0381 to end the mingling time.

Once at our table, we recorded the Levine's IMG_0382 and Peter's matching tie and cummerbund IMG_0383 as he read the menu IMG_0384 and the Just's posed IMG_0385 as did Larry and his wife IMG_0386 and the Leopold's IMG_0387 while we welcomed the bread course IMG_0388 in quite good spirits IMG_0389 IMG_0390 IMG_0391 IMG_0392 IMG_0393 much to the amusement IMG_0394 of the guest photographer. The salad came IMG_0395 along with tasteless white wine IMG_0396 and chocolate that would later prove to be just as tasteless though the flowers looked good IMG_0397 but not edible. The entrees -- fish IMG_0398 and chicken IMG_0399 amused Peter IMG_0400 as did my vegetarian meal IMG_0401 but the chocolate cake IMG_0402 and alternating fruit dish IMG_0403 amused only me IMG_0404 as the evening wound down.
