Eating. I should've taken more pictures of all the crazy food that Jess made but I think I was pretty much too busy eating. Besides the melon, there was hot butter squash soup, a giant salad (mozzarella and tomatoes in balsamic vineagar), eggplant parmesan, pasta in spicy pepper sauce, four huge garlic-marinated steaks...and, um, other stuff...I forget. ˆ amy a ˆ barlow ˆ dzija ˆ ryan p ˆ

Here's the point in the night where we were all supposed to go out and get all rowdy...but as you can see, we were still eating. I think I lapsed into a food coma just seconds after I captured this last pic. Sorry. ˆ josh ˆ
