PAR-TAY!

Had a blast at the AIS Holiday party last night. It was great to see everyone dressed to the nines - it's amazing how different people can look with a thorough shower and a pressed suit - I didn't even recognize some people. The food was excellent, the gambling was omnipresent and the drinks were flowing...clearly. I even managed to have some coversations that were not focused on business. All in all, it was a successful evening. I look forward to many more AIS celebrations!
