Eep, sorry Raffi!
Well, last week was a tough one. It started with an all-nighter, working from 10am on Monday to 6am the next morning, and then showing up at work again at 11am and again going until 2 am. That was the way of the week... until... I drove on up to NYC for my cousin's wedding... well, Long Island really. Quite an eventful weekend with Armenians as far as I could see. A wedding to remember, for sure.
The pre wedding events included a night out on the town. We went to a nightclub, Intermezzo, where I believe the AGBU had a fundraiser for the Antranig dance group in New Jersey. There's always time to fit in a nice Armenian fundraiser event! Quite a show of faces. The party kept me up until 4am, only to allow 3 hours of sleep before I was up and ready for the salon session. Oh, I dolled myself up alright. If I didn't, it was quite possible that my cousin would have kicked me out of the wedding party... oh, I was a brides maid.
The wedding was beautiful, as was the bride. A perfect match. The groom was a friend of ours for long before the duo united. Now I'm just happy to have another in-law! There was much dancing, much singing, much toasting. Onnik Dinkjian was the entertainment of the evening. I gotta tell you people. I know Onnik is only really well known on the East Coast, but talk about a Frank Sinatra of Armenian Music. WOW that man has pipes. And it ain't every day he sings for weddings. It was like a wedding and a concert all in one day!
Well, not much else right now. It looks like the genocide resolution may be discussed on the Senate side tomorow, but we don't have official word yet. I'll post immediately the moment I know. Stay tuned!
