Members Holiday Party
Another great members holiday party at The Tech! Plus, while we were downtown, I got to introduce Greg to tapioca pearl tea (probably should have started him off with the regular flavored one to start, the fruity flavored ones are awfully sweet) and I finally got to try out Original Joes, a San Jose institution that I've walked by a million times and have never eaten at.
The party itself was great. I love getting to show off The Tech to friends and they do throw a good party. They had marshmallow roasting out on the loading dock, roving carolers (mostly Peggy), IMAX previews of Polar Express (which we're going to go see Sunday if anyone wants to come), cookie decorating, and all the regular cool stuff we love there (including the new Net Planet exhibit, which I worked in on Wednesday, and which turned out very very cool, especially the new 3-D virtual world to play in.) Here's Greg and I on the earthquake platform (because really, if someone's going to come all the way out to California to visit, we might as well show them a nice earthquake!)
