stay connected... D.C., for the Republican National Committee. She hung out with Annie McDonough right after the New Year holiday. She writes that she “misses you all terribly” and that “you should all come visit DC!” (Secretary’s note: You really should. DC is the greatest.) Tiffany Li relocated from San Francisco to LA, continuing her work at Anthos Capital, an earlystage investment firm. She invites anyone on the West Coast to reach out to her for drinks. As for me (Alex McHale), I seem to see you beautiful people all the time! That warms my heart. Lucy Bidwell hosted a housewarming party in NYC’s West Village, where some of my favorite people appeared: Erica Segall, Anna Burgess, Catherine Crooke ’07, Chris Waskom ’08, Foster Jebsen ’08, Dominick DeJoy ’07, Alex Moss, Eli Grober, Lawrence Dai, Jack Dickey, Sayer Mansfield ’10, Thor Shannon, Marvin Blugh, Graeme Clements, Harrison Hart, and Jack Walker. This was only a week after Jack, Matt Gorski, and Andrew Pohly hosted a black-tie New Year’s party at the Hudson New York hotel, where I saw many other classmates— including Kiara Brereton, Max Abitbol, Cristina Mommsen, and Malin Adams—and countless non-2009 PA alums. I’ve hosted Christian Anderson and Carl Jackson at my apartment and I have weekly mapo tofu dates with Vincent Jow. I spend far too much and yet not nearly enough time up at Columbia with Max Abitbol and Marvin Blugh at our favorite haunt, Mel’s Burger Bar. Two thousand fourteen was a great year for meeting up with one another! Hope to see the love continue into 2015. Until next time. —Alex and Deidra

Matt Renner has done 11 tattoos so far since his mentor cleared him to start.
