That's we!

When it comes to food, Geoff can't decide.
Food, folks, and fun. It's not just for McDonald's!
Hans holds the board for John's karate demonstration.
I couldn't help but notice someone else's computer depicting my imminent demise...
Ryan the Stoic.
Didn't Woz and Jobs start with little colored boxes, too?
Dave maps the mips.
Carl's on TV!
Dave shares Gary's video collection with Hans; nausea ensues.

Geoff is entranced by Dave's collection of Gary's videos.
Cheese it!
You know what I'm looking at!

All I could afford was an iPud. Don't ask.
A dip and a pool.

Days later, the kookout kontinues.
Birds of a Midwest feather.
Sheppy in a box!
The M. C. shep-P.
I always felt Sheppy was a rather two-dimensional character.
Don't jump!
Tumbling over the railing didn't stop me from snapping this photo on the way down.
Snappy.

Aw, how cute!
A formal dinner calls for tablecloths. Not much else.

Sheppy crashed!
From TIE to Thai, it doesn't come much more formal.
All my siblings seem useful, so I looked in the mirror and...
Lounging around the lounge.
DJ Tony.
I may look up TO Carl, but sometimes I can't help but also look up AT him.
Some of us are wedded to the Apple II. Others find other reasons to come to Kansas City.

You should've seen him AFTER the six beers!
This is Geoff AFTER the six beers.
Hey - that's not vanilla bean! Tony!!
So that's what happened to Mr. Jones...
My kingdom for a cheesecake!
