backyard concert -- farewell, A-miao!

Sun, 20 Aug 2006 09:07:44 GMT

一转眼A-miao和我在Stony Brook 都5年了，我要毕业，而A-miao则又要去 Duke University Fuqua School of Business 读MBA了。上周六的party本来是要给他的farewell party，不巧他周二刚从国内回来，周五就要赶去Duke报到，我又正好一周都不在纽约，没能给他送行。

Party要庆祝的另一件事是Stu的乐队在历经了好几年的“磨难”后终于正式上台商演了。所以周六的这个party也是一个标准的concert，除了Stu 他们这支比较punk的乐队，还有另一支友情演出的乐队助兴。

Party在Stu 和 Frankie 的beachhouse 后院办的，夕阳下的海景本来就已经十分迷人，再加上两支live band 以草地为舞台，以大树海湾晚霞为布景的演出，听众零零星星坐在草地上，凉风习习吹来，真是享受。

A small gathering at Franky, Hongmiao and Stu's home. (from left to right: Franky, Hongmiao, me, Stu, Zan, Wenfang, Willow shot this pic.)

Franky moved in this nice small beach house with water view last month, becoming a housemate of Hongmiao and Stu. I love this small house a lot. Stu, as a professional graphic designer, decorated the house nicely. The food is quite simple, grilled chicken, hotdog, pizza, salad and beer. But it's really nice to see old friends coming back for visit. Willow used to be a honored member of the famous Dine-Another-Day club.:D He's also the one who taught me a lot and really brought me into photography.(Hopefully he won't feel ashamed when I said so.^_^ Visit his homepage at http://weblog.citysavage.com) Zan, Franky, Wenfang and willow are all from the Computer Science Department at SUNY Stony Brook.

We talked about a few getaway plans for the summer, kayaking, canoeing and rafting. I'm still struggling to get a chance to learn surfing.:-( After the dinner, Franky and I found an old Nintendo, so we played Super Mario for a while, which brought us back to childhood...
