Last year&#8217;s was a little better, but that&#8217;s primarily because it was held at the Academy of Sciences, where there were tons of exhibits to wander around in, whereas this year&#8217;s mostly involved live music and a dance floor.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/galleries\/SFDC_Xmas_2009\/SDC12320.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/galleries\/SFDC_Xmas_2009\/SDC12327.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/galleries\/SFDC_Xmas_2009\/SDC12343.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/galleries\/SFDC_Xmas_2009\/SDC12348.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/galleries\/SFDC_Xmas_2009\/SDC12375.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\nThere was, of course, an abundance of excellent food and an open bar. Had 4 drinks in the first 45 minutes, sipped a fifth over about another half hour, then stopped drinking for a couple hours, finishing with two more drinks before closing. Probably more alcohol than I should have had, but I didn&#8217;t get drunk, and was actually completely sober afterward. Not bad.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward we went to Sharon&#8217;s for &#8220;drunken&#8221; rock band, except none of us were drunk. Things got interesting though when Brett took a half-dozen shots (which would be fine on its own, as he&#8217;s a very mellow drunk&#8230; he just starts failing expert vocals on Rock Band) and Matt came home drunk. There are photos of the resulting chaos; which includes such things as Matt spilling water all over Sharon, Charles spilling water all over Matt and a just-changed Sharon, Matt eating chips and spilling most of them all over Sharon, Brett singing &#8220;A Whole New World&#8221; while Matt joins in singing about bowls of sour cream and fat, Matt getting his head caught in the blinds, and Matt loudly singing along to &#8220;Don&#8217;t Rain on My Parade&#8221; and jumping around the apartment; but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m allowed to post them. :P<br \/>\nDrunk people are funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past couple days have been filled with parties and food and friends and awesome.
