Leif's PhD potluck

Fresh from the last BECKS a few months ago, the RSS group (and friends) had another reason to celebrate: Leif-Eric had successfully defended his PhD, filed his disseration, and was at long last Doctor Easley!

Fresh as a new post-doc at Stanford, Leif and Eun-young made it back down to LA for a celebration potluck (and sort of Sophia and Justin's housewarming!) with everyone. Well almost everyone. A bit less than the full crew this time: Leif and Eun-young, Sophia and Justin, Grace and Kevin, Evelyn, plus, uh, oh yeah, me. Missing were Donna, Jirina, and I get the feeling at lot of others. Unfortunately or fortunately I'm one of the "other" so my memory is a bit foggy. :-/

In any case, it was great fun to catch up with everyone, and earlier worries about not enough food were completely unfounded!

(although my stop by the Phamish truck earlier for banh mi was definitely necessary! Finally tried their pho, too! It was expensive, but hot and tasty. Best if eaten immediately. And did I mention expensive? *sigh*)
