Dudes In Suits

Left to right: John, Walter, Scott, Jeff, me, Iain (crouching).

The photo above was taken a few evenings ago when Jeff and some of his guy friends went out to celebrate one of their birthdays at a swanky steak place. They came back afterward, and I took some photos of them in their classy duds; you can see some of the pics in Walter's Flickrfeed.

I also took a few with my camera:

Then they insisted that I be in the picture as well. There was no way I was going to be photographed wearing my slobby casual clothes, so I rushed upstairs and put on a dress, rushed back down, and Walter set up the self-timer on his camera to take the photo at the top of this page.

We all got changed back to normal clothes and he took another pic:

Thanks for all the anniversary happy wishes yesterday, everyone! I'll post a report and some pics later on.

I recognize some faces, but not all of them. Any chance of a Left-To-Right listing of this rogues gallery?

Done. :-) I've posted names just below the photograph.

The guys look so different dressed up and dressed down. Are you sure they are the same guys? LOL

Looks like you all had a lot of fun.

You look great! (And so do the guys -- they make a very handsome group.)

I have recently been to this bookstore and unfortunately the reason I enjoyed it was also a reason it's going to fail. The serious lack of persons in the store! There was alot of merchandise on the shelves that was overpriced, and alot of staff standing around looking bored! I think the location was not well scouted out as just because it is in an upscale mall, huge sales are not guaranteed. I will give this place about maybe one and a half or two years before they close that location. The book business is low margin, cut throat at the best of times and based on today's shaky economy, the timing could not be worse for that store to have opened there!
