Chinese New Year....early

This was a bitter sweet event.  We've held it at Oriental Express from the beginning and they were closing their doors forever! :(  We had it early so we could have it there one last time.  We had some new people join us and missed those that couldn't make it plus our regulars, Kris and Jerry, ended up helping serve so they weren't really with us.  It was fun but sad.  I'll miss this tradition a lot!
