A Blast From The Past: 1996

NOTE

It was brought to my attention that my history was a bit revisionist, in that I forgot that before Neil, there was Larry. My apologies -- I didn't mean to forget about you, Larry!

We (and by We, I mean a bunch of us who used to be Novellus people, and now are mostly FREONs (Former Employees of Novellus), along with some who have never set foot in NVLS) have been throwing parties since 1994. The first couple of parties were at Larry's place in San Jose, then the next couple were at Neil's place over in Sunnyvale, then it moved to Rich Chaney's place in Santa Clara or Sunnyvale or wherever it was, and then it moved to our place in San Bruno, and finally (for now) to our place in San Jose. These are pictures obtained from Ray's archives, which are from the 1996 party. Didn't we have a Slurpy machine for making Murderita's that year?

I'll try and caption these with names, but I'll be damned if I remember who all of these people were (if I ever did know)...



Some chick.



Two women from NVLS, their names escape me at the moment, but Ray would know...



Neil's old roomate Kyle.



Some band.



Martha (ugh!) and Rich Chaney.



Some guy, some chick, Jack (can't remember this guy's name either!), Martha (ugh!) and Rich Chaney.



Your host (yes, that was my real hair) and Martha (ugh!).



Jack.



The original blood pump!



Troy and some dude.Note that this is the very same costume that Troy wore to our 2005 party. I guess classics never go out of style...
