Ground Hog day party? Awesome! What was it like?

On the whole, not my scene. Though the caterer made really neat complicated appetizers, which turned out to all be vegan, which was probably the nicest part of the evening.

I didn't know anybody there, plus a major theme seemed to be staring at the projection-wall where they were playing tweets about people discussing the party. We were invited to put our twitter-name on our name-tag. I chatted with a few people, but wandered away to look at the current exhibits at the gallery, and when I came back, it still wasn't my scene so I went off to get a late dinner. ;)

A meta-party. Never as good as the real thing. ;)

At the hospital there was a tradition involving carrying around a giant plastic prairie dog, which was blessed and showered with gifts for good luck during the coming year.

I could have had more fun if they smelled like smoked sausage, but salmon it is!

Sounds like a fun day. We've been holed up here looking at the snow, and I've been working too much again.
