Some photos of the few of us who got together over Thanksgiving, click the photo to see the rest of the pictures. The Steilacoom 1999 grads represented were Robbie Sortore, Steve Rybolt, Isaiah Tchobanoff, Andi (Lopez) Vann, James Choe, and myself (Aaron Pace).  And I would say we all looked pretty good considering we are much closer to 30 now than 20.  Several spouses and significant others were present as well.  We had just the right number of beers and thankfully only one round of Tequila, so there are no embarrassing stories to tell.  However, we did get to try a new drink imported from the southern California coast, 7up and mandarin vodka.  I hope next summer at number 10 will be different and there will be plenty of videos getting posted to youtube.  Fair warning to all those in attendance next summer.

The Pace family attended their first Oktoberfest with the Villanuevas in Oak Park.  I have never been to this German festival before tonight.  The Oak Park version was more of a carnival than a traditional German festival.  The beer choices weren’t that impressive either.  Pretty standard American stuff except for St. Pauli Girl, which is pretty standard import.  However, the presence of the Villanuevas and some very fresh funnel cakes kept the night interesting.  The funnel cakes were so good and I assume sought after that there was a 3 funnel cake limit.  I did not see them enforce this, but I have a feeling it would have gotten pretty interesting if they had.  More pictures at http://www.akpacephotography.com.
