Sean & Willow's Goodbye Party

When Willow and I were all packed up and going to leave Seattle for San Diego, we threw a party at our place (our apartment building had an awesome deck on the roof with a barbecue and a great view of downtown Seattle). We invited our friends, and although we poorly chose a date that had several other parties going on, we still had a good attendance. These are the pictures from the party, courtesy of Monte and Sue Cook (there were other people at the party, too, but they were camera-shy, showed up before or after the Cooks were there, or they don't show up on digital cameras).

Monte Cook and Jeff Quick in the apartment, opening up the candy. The place is decorated with a tropical theme from when Willow had her goodbye party for her dance students.

Monte, Stan!, and Charles Ryan (WotC editor) on the deck, looking out over a twilight Seattle.

That's me at the barbecue. Yes, I'm actually cooking meat in this picture. It wasn't for me.

They caught me. That's Michele Carter (WotC editor and fellow player in Monte's Ptolus game) in the foreground.

Sue with Tammy Ryan (Charles' wife) in the kitchen. It apparently was Tammy's birthday that day, too, although nobody told me that until after we had left Seattle. :P
