Everything's pretty cool. We had a large party tonight and I took some pics of the place before the mayhem. They spent somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 grand, hope they had fun, I know I did! I even brought my jacket to work, and clocked in before taking it off!!

and locally, tonight as well:

S4:

ridiculously fast bike that pulled up next to my drinking spot:

holy crap, thats a lot of booze.

My christmas party in a fortnight is in an Indian Restaurant.

My work has about 3000 employees, and its a government agency so they won't be throwing any kind of decent party.

The party in the indian restaurant is just for like 30 of us in our department.

my work christmas party is this coming friday. it's the first one i'll be at for this company. i heard last year's was a riot. so it should be interesting.

ghporter · Dec 3, 2005, 07:41 AM

Lovely place. I hope everyone had a great time-but not such a great time that they won't still be employed!

IceEnclosure · Dec 3, 2005, 09:48 AM

heh, yeah we partied quietly during the party. There were about 450 guests.

hickey · Dec 3, 2005, 10:09 AM

sweet S4 and nice Busa as well. I filmed a fashion show at a bar here in philly that looked very similar to the one you were at, got free drinks the whole night, and my footage proved it.

wdlove · Dec 3, 2005, 10:12 AM

Those are beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing them. Looks like an awesome place.

What's an S4 and what makes it worthy of feces smearing?

great pix, must have been a swell deal.

Our party is in a week or so, they've got some actors coming in to festival up the place, good food will be had... and maybe we'll be let out early.

yeah, my bad.. I just watched an RS4 review. 414 HP(I think) and not coming to the states. Either way, S4:

Have you studied how to compose a nice photograph at all? Or are those happy accidents? If so, any recommendations for things to read/classes to take?

No studying on photography, but I've got an artist's eye.

No recommendations, just happy little trees.

macroy · Dec 16, 2005, 04:24 PM

I always knew that my company threw a damn good party... unfortunately, I've missed the last few due to schedule conflicts. But I was surprised to see it actually mentioned on craigslist....

Evidently - they spent 4 million on this years. I think I rather have my dividend in cash......

E's Lil Theorem · Dec 16, 2005, 09:06 PM

Nice pics

My company's holiday party is tomorrow. Well, corporate's party is tomorrow.

As far as the S4, man I wish could justify the price

. I love that car; I even had a sig of it for a bit:

KeriVit · Dec 16, 2005, 10:15 PM

If my company of ten years doesn't have a party on my last day before I move, (12-23), they can bite me. Of course, I'm the one who generally organizes the pahtay- but my boss better get off his ass.

torsoboy · Dec 17, 2005, 02:27 AM

Dang. My company party was a lunch break where we all went to abby inn (Best Western), and then had to go back to work afterwords. Yeah, it sucked. My christamas bonus (along with everyone elses) was a $50 gift certificate to outback, and $15 in movie bucks to local theaters. been the same for the last few years.

i work at a software development company.

moonmonkey · Dec 17, 2005, 02:39 AM

I actually feel like I drunk that much last night.

spatterson · Dec 17, 2005, 09:37 AM

We had our Christmas party at a Very nice casino, there was about 300 of us there, open bar, great food... I don't remember much after the free booze part.

I kind of have that, too. Big party with all the company's corporate coworkers (the different units out in the line have their own big party), lunch and secret-santa-gift-exchange with my core group of coworkers.
