Our pals Sander and Annemieke, dressed as Papegeno and Queen of the Night. Lovely people, and they are part of how Jurjen and I got together too. | |
Annemieke's boy Thomas was also masked. Very cool! | |
Trying to capture the general hubbub here, with all the fancy costumes. Jurjen and I were in evening wear, with eye masks that were cat-head-shaped, and as you see we were hopelessly outclassed. | |
Central here is one of our hosts, Jurjen's old friend Carl (and now also a piano-playin' buddy of mine). | |
Sander looks on as Aernout, another of our hosts and the future Baron van Pallandt, changes the dance music. We had everything from baroque to Prodigy. | |
Jurjen enjoying a fine cigar! | |
The bar was self-service but nice people like Jurjen would step in and pull drinks for a while. | |
The hair starts coming down as the evening goes on. "So, thinkest thou the Euro will make things easier anon?" | |
Yours truly, taking a break from the dance floor. | |
Yours truly, Queen of the Realm. |
