Gandy Gras.

My old iO team Otis was broken up about a year ago. Like many teams cut from the iO schedule, we pledged to keep doing regular shows together at other theaters, and then didn't. But we still get together to celebrate the traditional Otis holidays like Otis-giving and Gandy Gras, hosted by Gandy, our resident Louisianan.

(Gandy is sadly not in the picture because he was busy preparing the King Cake)

Since Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday coincided this year, Lauren (and later Joe as pictured) spent much of the evening constantly refreshing various news sites to get up-to-the-minute but inconclusive primary results. The upside of this was that whenever a question came up in the room ("Was there some kind of natural disaster?") Lauren would yell, "I'll find out" and look it up online.

Me: Someday every party will have someone assigned to man a laptop.
Gowland: Designated fact checker.
Me: [pantomiming typing] "You're right, Tom Selleck wasn't in that movie."

Later, Marc sat in the middle of the room and everyone tried to throw beads over his head.
