On Nov 23, 2002 I flew back to NY for the week of Thanksgiving. Much of this week is devoted to seeing people, places and things (as the adjective song goes).

Anime Fest X

Today was the 10th annual Anime Fest (a.k.a. Movie Day). In attendance were Chris and Anne, Jim, Steve, and Darrin. A good time was had by all. At least, that's what they claimed.

Anne in reverse, Chris, Jim, the leg of Steve, and the remains of dinner.

Anne taking a picture, the top of Chris, and the complete Steve.

Anne in purple again reversed, with an amused Chris watching Jim being paid by Steve. The social dynamic is overwhelming.

Union vs. UConn Hockey

Union hosted UConn at Achilles at 7PM. A few highlights of the 8-0 victory by Union. Its nice when you are there in person to not see them screw up.

An early faceoff.

Union's second goal. Yay.

Union's third goal. Yay. The spectator dude with the arm has gotten much closer to me apparently.

Union's 7th goal. Unfortunately it was null and void as a skate kocked the puck in.

Saw a 7 for a little while before it went back to 6 (only to become 7, then 8 later...) Not too bad of a crowd either for the middle of exams. Prof. Spallholz is the fuzzy blob sitting right in front of the 9 sign, for those who care to know these things.

That puck looks lonely out there. Just searching for a hockey game.

Ah! It found one.

Yep, that's hockey all right. I can tell these things.

Break it up! Break it up! Nothing to see here!

TV channels thought there was something to see though.

Those cameras were right near the aft light lady. She had a lot of work to do tonight.

Between the first and second periods one could throw pucks on the ice. If it landed in the center blue dot something magical would happen. None did, so it didn't.

Fun With Frozen Foods #307: Between the second and third periods one could bowl a frozen turkey to win a turkey for Thanksgiving. Easier than bowling a live turkey I expect. Though I've never tried. Really.

Referees are always fun when they are trying desperately not to get run over.

UConn actually did block a few shots. Here's one.

Here's another. Didn't help though.

All done.

BTW, Union has a women's hockey team. They've got a banner now too.
