(7) Geburtstag

I looked up how to say ‘Happy birthday’ in German, but it was too long to fit as the headline, so I think just ‘birthday’ will suffice . Anyway.

As you have probably gathered if you’re following along with this blog…I don’t get out much. This is mostly because I have no classes this semester, so I don’t get to see people every day like I normally would, and because when I do get out, it’s usually to go hole up in the J-Library and look at microfilm or attempt to write some pages. So exciting!

BUT every now and then I escape this routine, and tonight was one of those nights. Mr. Jakob Berr turned a year older, and in honor of this momentous occasion, at least thirty j-schoolers packed themselves into Ragtag to celebrate. I lost track of how many people I saw tonight who I haven’t seen in a couple of weeks, or, in some cases, a couple of months (way too long in either case). Any time that happens, I consider the evening a success.

These are quite grainy, since I was shooting at ISO800 with sub-1/30 shutter speeds (my baby camera doesn’t do well shooting in the low light of Ragag). I’m hoping to upgrade in the next month to a 7D—crossing the fingers!

Erin! (and half of Scott’s head)

Birthday boy!

JohnChelseaMito! (She knew I was taking the picture, by the way. I’ll leave you to figure out which ‘she’ I’m referring to.)
