Since Nolan Treadway could not attend his going away party in person
highacidity carved his image in Photoshop. Nolan is now complete with a metallic suit, ykos bling and chest hair, yes, black chest hair.
"Nolan" had a great time. We toasted him, sang to him and offered our advice regarding his future.
All photos below.

Lennysfo was one of the photographers at YearlyKos. Lenny brought his powerbook and shared his slide show from YearlyKos. He's a great photographer, IMHO.
My photos:
I had a terrific time, a wonderful scenic 1.5 hr. drive along the Great Highway, past the Palace of the Legion of Honour, over the Golden Gate Bridge, thru lovely Sausalito, Tiberon and finally arriving in the beautiful Wine Country. I enjoyed some excellent wine, big hugs and great conversation. Looking forward to the next event.
Next event idea by Sallycat: event in the East Bay perhaps in conjunction with the McNerney campaign. Stay tuned.
Highacidity and Ukiyo offered their home for a backyard barbeque in the South Bay. Stay tuned.
And far off in the future but as you know here before we know it:
