Re: GESO: Lunch with AnnSan in the City

Ann, You graciously hosted me in NYC ten years ago when I was at a bike messenger shindig, we've met several times when you've come to the T-dot and of course there was GFM. Wonderful to see you again in Dan's photos. Wish I were there. Thanks for posting, Dan! Cheers, frank On 21
