OK, the title was a lie.
Mercury threw a new year "ball" two weeks ago. You're really supposed to dress up for these occasions. Usually, that's a huge turn-off for me, and this year they made it more complicated by calling it a "masquerade". Suits and tuxedos won't be enough this year - we were required to dress "magically elgenat". Let's skip the part where I'm all "WTF is magically elegant? Can I come wearing nothing but a corsage? Why can't they just have a party?", and go right to the part where I figure out that the coolest costume I could ever wear would to be a tuxedo. And make sure everyone else does the same.
Me? In a tux? Damn straight. And we made a mask (for me - Marina borrowed a Carnaval mask from Carla).
The ball was held at the San Francisco City Hall. Classy.
I could go on and on about how classy it is to hold a ball in the hall, but I won't.
Everyone was so elegant. It was actually great.
Hey, in the background, in the blue dress, isn't that... Oddly enough, I have three accidental pictures of her.
Food!
Friends!
Older friends!
Decadense!
Newer, somewhat fuzzy, friends!
(And yes, I pretty much had that thing on my face the whole evening)
The American dream!
Where did all these wrinkles come from? I look like a Goddamn Ferengi!
I didn't expect any sort of fun, but this 80s cover band kept the floor busy.
Oops, The Chick noticed my flash
Yeah, that's that chick that guy used to... and then he... yeah.
Table for three?
My favorite two pictures from the evening
Like I said earlier, good thing that we take the camera everywhere.
