Yes, photos please! Thank you Jay and John and Pallava for hosting this fine event, and thanks everyone for coming out! It was a great evening! I have to apologize that my communication abilities were slightly hampered by not only jet lag, but a laryngitis I must have caught on the plane:
"The most common symptom of either form is hoarseness that may, within several days, progress to partial or total loss of voice"

The nature of the event made it difficult to follow the commonly known cures:

-Avoid public speaking during recovery
-Be aware that whispering puts a greater strain on the vocal cords than normal speaking
-Drink warm, soothing liquids (but do not drink alcoholic beverages) !!!?

I wasn't TRYING to whisper - but I was. But I still had a great time, seeing all my friends and Ohana after such a long absence.
The crowning convergence was that Jeff Berry was in town, and we could hang and sell our current publications together! It was like the old days. Earlier that day at another local joy juice joint:
