Welcome to the post with a ton of different photo sizes.

This is not the reunion, this is the branch of the Boise Public Library! that is in the Hillcrest Shopping Center. I would have loved this to be my branch library while living in Boise, but it didn’t exist then. I love the floors as they remind me of the bathroom floors in my elementary school.

Before the second evening’s reunion, we had a get together at April’s house. In this tiny picture you can see Nicole, Dana, Angela, me, April, and Sara. Somehow we missed getting Cindy into the picture. It was very fun to sit outside in the heat and catch up. Also, April put out a lot of photos and memorabilia for us to look at. And Sara brought her yearbooks, which high-school her had turned into scrapbooks, which we all thought was very smart.

The second evening event was at the Sockeye Alehouse. It was supposed to be at a different location, but that location had some problems, and the Sockeye Alehouse could accommodate our group at the last minute. Because of the venue change, we were in a tiny space, and it was very hot, and I have no pictures. But there were people at this event who were not at the previous evening’s event, so I enjoyed catching up with them.

Afterward, Sara, Cindy and I went for ice cream. We may have actually gone to Leku Ona (referenced in the previous post) this night for late-night snacks, not Friday night. Regardless, I know that we got ice cream at The STIL.

Overall, a great reunion weekend.

The hardworking (and little-thanked) reunion committee planned a concert at the Gene Harris Bandshell for our first night of reunion. Here is the Borah High School class of 1993, as captured by one of the many spouses taking pictures at this moment.

I wish I had thought to take a picture of the spouses taking a picture of us. That was amusing.

Dan Costello and his band played some hits from our youth, and then we had live-band karaoke.

Cindy, Sara, and I got to the park on time, and that was too early, so we had a drink at Leku Ona. We were hungry after the reunion so we ended up back there and had some delicious late-night Basque snacks.

Also at the reunion: Cindy and I singing “Talk Dirty to Me” That’s Dan cluing his much younger band into the chord changes.

And before we left, a quick three-from McKinley photo with me, Cindy, and Sarah Post. I hadn’t seen Sarah since the 10-year reunion, so it was great to catch up.
