Last night I met up with Mike and Jill for a little pre-holiday dinner together ahead of their upcoming trip to Las Vegas, NV and my trip home to Detroit. We decided to have a fun dinner out at Benihana in Encino, CA. Hee hee, yeah it’s not the poshest place but the food is good and the atmosphere is really fun.

After dinner, I met up with Alek, Darion, Ryan and Johnny so that we could, en mass, make our way to a little Xmas celebration hosted by photographer Lewis Payton. The shindig was held outside in his courtyard which made for a chilly time but we managed keep ourselves warm for the majority of the night. Here are a few pics from last night’s fun:

Hee hee … we had a blast. Much love goes out to Lewis for having us at his home, we had a really fun night together.

Tonight I’m planning to meet up with Josh for another pre-holiday dinner before he flies off to Oregon for the holidays … and at some point, I have to start packing for my upcoming trips to Detroit, NYC and Iceland. OY!
