I hosted a little get-together the other night here at my place in Framingham, MA USA. The cast of characters were interesting indeed. Two thirds of the performers from the "Yeraz" CD, Aaron Stayman(Guitar, Banjo) and Jason Demerjian (Percussion) dropped by for some food, drink, and music along with other friends of mine. Jason is the director of the Armenian Volunteer Corp and is in town for a few days from Armenia. Aaron brought along Sara, who along with Aaron was a Peace Corp volunteer in Armenia in the last few years. A friend of my roommate also flew into town. She's from L.A. and moved here from Armenia when she was 17 about 13 years ago. Some odar friends also were present as was my housemate. The evening culminated in some live entertainment as Aaron, Jason and I played music for about an hour. We played some Rouben Haghverdian, Gor, and Aaron Stayman songs and sat back and had some Budweiser. (Hey, it was a 30 pack for $20, what else can I say?) The weather was hot and I easily sweat off a few pounds.

I think I'll do some hiking this weekend...
