 |
| tao ye, co-host and stomper,
looking mighty festive in a beautiful new dress.
|
|
|
 |
|
martin frankel, dressed for the occasion.
|
|
|
|
 |
| fielding mellish making a cameo
appearance.
|
|
 |
|
tom, drew, and
yatin in the foreground,
dan's wall o' books in the background.
|
|
 |
|
drew roselli minus her elusive friend.
|
|
 |
|
yatin, tao, and fielding mellish prior to fielding mellish's early departure.
|
|
 |
| baby, pondering the effects
of imminent y2k bugs. |
|
 |
| tao, color coordinated in dress,
lips, nails, and, after another drink, face as well. |
|
 |
| alexis and martin. they've
known each other since high school. |
|
 |
| a shot of the action. match the
item in tao's hand with items shown later on this page. hmm . . . |
|
 |
| tom, experiencing what it is
like to be a 411 operator. |
|
 |
| yatin, trying to make the
unphotogenic not. |
|
 |
| and, despite a great attempt, being
unsuccessful. |
|
 |
| dan's highly fault-tolerant
fire emergency kit. |
|
|
 |
| tao, hands-free. |
|
 |
| carefully unbuttoned, steve fink. |
|
 |
| tao's pal, munazza bukhar. she
vehemently objected to my taking of certain key photos.
|
|
 |
| tao and munazza catching up. |
|
 |
| dan explains his hopes for y2k,
including his highly anticipated bay area power outage. |
|
 |
| a mere sampling of the food. note
how key items are consistently co-located with tao. this is not a product
of the gimp.
|
|
 |
| peter reading some highly
questionable material. |
|
 |
| drew patiently posing while
i fiddle with my unusually uncooperative digital camera. |
|
 |
| background: munazza and tao drinking
shrimp extract -- or if you prefer, chrysanthemum tea. |
|
 |
| orgy on dan's bed. |
|
 |
| and now a mosh pit. |
|
 |
| and now an orgy again. |
|
 |
| tom and yatin sharing an intimate
moment while someone attempts to foil my shot. |
|
 |
| baby malfunctioning due to
y2k-defective chromosomes. |
|
 |
| same place, different perspective. |
|
 |
| pascal and angie hanging out. |
|
 |
| dan could easily have landed
a role in francis coppola's dracula with this gesture. i've seen that
movie far too many times. |
|
 |
| angie and dan as the games
begin. |
|
 |
| props. any familiar items? that orange
ball ended up in my mouth, btw. |
|
 |
| removed at the request
of "someone". given the items in the photo on the
left, er, perhaps you can imagine what it was about. :) |
|
 |
| melissa, tao, and nick partying. |
|
 |
| yatin, seconds before nuking
the power in our simulated pg&e y2k blackout. he's the
real culprit! :) |
|
 |
| after bringing in the new year
with new york, chicago, and others, we headed to the roof for y2k here
and to watch the fireworks. |
|
 |
| 2000. |
|
 |
| another shot. |
|
 |
| more rooftop y2k celebrating. |
|
 |
| upon returning to dan's place, we were
surprised to find that we had suddenly lost power! dan's y2k wish come true. :) |
|
 |
| and so, we hung out chatting on
the living room floor under the candlelight while waiting for the "repairs".
|
|
 |
| the flash destroys the effect. it was
really quite dark at the time. |
|
 |
| dan carefully inspecting something.
|
|
 |
| everyone asked for the back of tao's
dress. here it is! |
