On September 10th Nickey had an "almost" surprise party for me. It was at & above the Marina over in Silver Lake. The weather was crappy, but after enough drinks it didn't matter anymore. We were also happy that our friend Silence was here from China at the time, so he came and sampled all kinds of American liquor. To quote him on Tequila "I think it has a very special taste", which means it's not to bad; I believe he did 3 shots of Tequila that night. Anyhow, pictures are in our photo gallery.
