A friend from Syracuse drove down the day of, two friends from high school and home came into the city, two friends from Oklahoma flew in for the weekend (surprise!), two friends stopped by for the night before long Saturdays of travel--one for work, the other for pleasure, and 30 more friends attended, hopefully under more convenient circumstances. I honestly cannot express how appreciative I am to have been able to spend the night with each and every one.
