We’re so glad you could attend-
Come inside! come inside!"
-Emerson Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9
Just a quick review and farewell to all of our friends in Italy and elsewhere...
In Sauze d'Oulx & Bardonecchia
The crew at Paddy McGinty's
Orlando, Alex, our favorite bartender whose name I never learned,
Amy, "H" (The fixer), Gio (The Vandal), DJ Danny and Kaz (Keep 'em warm...)...
The good folks at Queens Lounge-
Alfredo, Amy (The OTHER Amy), Nichie and Julia (Have a chips...)
At Sugo's- Mauritzio & Tattoo...
The best pasta in the Suza Valley.
Customers & People
The English girl who tried to ride me like a horse,
as her boyfriend was passed out at the table
during the trivia contest.
The dude who followed me back to the hotel because he was sure
I had been hitting on his girlfriend.
The Russian girl who tried an assualt on the north face,
as I tried to make it across the dancefloor at Osteria Vagabondi.
Katie- Our waitress at Debili, who showed up at Paddy's
very late at night, very inebriated, very often.
And at Melezet- Eric Angstadt-Torres from Atos, Nicola (at OVR) and
of course Omega Girl - Talar, and their flawless crew that provided results!
And all the Japanese...
(The Japanese? Those sandal-wearing goldfish tenders...)

Plus the runners- Simone, Andrea, Elena & Luca...
Y'all were the best!

TJ- who I thought had learned his lesson in Athens, back for another
round of night shifts and bad local food.
(At least no pork sushi this time, eh TJ?)
