AnD Dinner Party in Beijing

It was not the ordinary way I expected to find a venue for an Alive Not Dead dinner party in Beijing. The directions were clear enough, but could there really be a restaurant down these menacing alleyways? I checked the date, it was not April Fools' Day.

"Hey kid, ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?" Creepy

Still creepy

Could this be the place?

And there was Loan Trinh. Whew, at least I knew I would be safe while we waited. Her wushu skills are much better than mine. Of course, anyone who has practiced one day has better wushu skills than I do. Meanwhile, everyone else was late.

Little by little, the gang showed up.

Even the ones from Hong Kong who had a flight delay.

All in all, it was a nice way to get the AND anniversary celebrations started. Stay tuned....
