Holiday Party 2009

The holiday party has come and gone, so let’s address the pressing concerns first:

Contrary to all sartorial expectations and hopes, SCDAH director Eric did not, in fact, wear a bow tie. Instead, he chose a normal tie, red with blue stripes.

And the food was excellent.

Also, the beautiful table decorations, hand-made by our own Ben Hornsby, garnered high praise. The gift baskets were lovely, the crowd congenial, the guests appreciated, the punch divine. If you missed it, we probably talked about you in your absence, because after all, we wished you could be there.

Many thanks to our overworked committee, and to those who helped bring food, and to those who suffered fools for the camera in accordance with the recent Directorial Coercive Digital Photography Policy of Dec. 2009, which was contrived at the last moment to compensate for the fact that the archives has no working video camera to record such events. We apologize for the inconvenience, and point and laugh as well.

State library people, we love you. Art people, too. Former employees - you too.
