Here are your highly-anticipated photos from the FETA Spring Fling 2017, held in NYC at the beautiful Mykonos Blue restaurant on Thursday, June 29th. Thanks again to our very generous sponsors: Foley & Mansfield and Margolis Edelstein.
A portion of the crowd stands in rapt attention as distinguished guest Mr. Art Dimopoulos, Executive Director of the National Hellenic Society, speaks about preserving Greek heritage. The people in the back talking among themselves are Turkish operatives who were later escorted out of the party.
Mr. Dimopoulos made the compelling point that hundreds of patents found in the technology of today's cell phones were originally owned by Kodak and Polaroid, but those companies squandered their resources and opportunities. He analogized this to various cultures, such at the Greek culture, which need to be vigilant about preserving and enhancing their assets. Then everyone drank ouzo.
SistaLambrOuzo, drinking what appears to be a salad, and SistaKapsomera flank BroZach and PowerBroKardashian. Nothing exciting to say about this photo.
Bill Matsikoudis, candidate for Mayor of Jersey City, also provided some brief remarks. Anyone wishing to support Mr. Matsikoudis's campaign can obtain more information
HERE. So far the election track record of politicians who have spoken at FETA events is not great, but Mr. Matsikoudis might turn that around.
BroZorro and Art Dimopoulos apprehend SistaLambrOuzo as she attempts to sneak out with a table centerpiece.
The Spring Fling '17 was also an informal going-away (or, as many called it, a "Please, go away!") party for BroZach, who recently signed a very lucrative multi-year deal with Willis in Chicago. As part of the package, the Willis Tower will be renamed The Zach Tower (of course, as with BroZach, the elevator won't go to the top floor.) Please note the retro name tag consisting of a photo of BroZach from 1964. When an office building in Chicago in named after you, you can get away with those things.
BroMichaelJordanGeorge relives his single-and-dating days by politely putting his arms around two beautiful women and then going home by himself. Pictured on right: SistaChristmas (NOT Jennifer Anniston) (thanks again for sponsoring SistaChristmas!)
SistaCathyStraggler(Straggas) who, we learned, once dated a guy who's now a billionaire, shows off her name tag with a photo of the Phillie Phanatic. Translation of the caption: "I once dated a billionaire who got away, but I'm over it." [Not really, but most of you won't know...] Thanks again for sponsoring SistaStraggler!
SistaGeorgiaPeach's personal space is uncomfortably invaded by BroNeilDiamond (left) and her husband, BroTeddyBear (right.) Unseen thought bubble above her head: "Well, I may not have married well, but at least I didn't marry this other one..."
When presented with a photo like this, of BroNeilDiamond and SistaChristmas, the only mature and reasoned response is obvious: No thanks, I use toilet paper (culled from the fourth-grade archives.)
BroHoleFoods shows his Greek patriotism, fueled, no doubt, by his tumbler full of Greek ouzo. By the way, those are clear glasses showing off BroHoleFoods' new facial tattoo.
BroMichaelJordanGeorge and Honorary (for a day) BroJimBrownopoulos yuk it up.BroJordan was disappointed to learn that BroJimBrown never played in the NFL nor did he sing any hit songs.
The SEC shows off his $2,400 Gucci sunglasses while BroDandelion (center) does his best facial impersonation of a baby during potty training. Notice that BroZach is wearing a Marsh lanyard. Let's hope senior Willis management doesn't read this blog or The Zach Building may have a new name.
Honorary Greek Lisa of the Foley & Mansfield firm and BroTorreador show off some of the extremely tasty fare at Mykonos Blue.
Thanks again to Sistas E-Kat and LambrOuzo for doing a great job choosing the venue and organizing the party!
BroNickKaraKostco, former head of AHEPA, and Mr. Art Dimpoulos, former friend of BroZach's (this party ended that...), discuss Nick's recent election as Prime Minister of Greece.
The cast of the new Broadway show "Beauties and the Beasts" stopped by to say hello...
The crowd stares in amazement as a $320,000 fireworks display, paid for out of FETA's petty cash account, lights up the sky blue and white over Manhattan.
Mrs. SEC comes down off the mountain to hob nob with the FETA crowd.
BroDandelion had a bit too much fun at the party. Unseen thought bubble above SistaChristmas's head: "If I can just lift his wallet, we'll have another co-sponsor." Unseen thought bubble above SistaE-Kat's head: "I organized a party for this? Help!"
SistaSocrates and BroMichaelJordan flank SistaLambrOuzo as she does her best impersonation of a kid waking up on Christmas morning.
President Trump stopped by briefly to detail his plans to build a wall around Turkey...at the expense of Mexico.
Three happy FETAns closing down the party at 4:15 am.
Mrs. SEC catches up with one of the newest FETAns, SistaChrysaZach, a recently-minted broker at Marsh in Atlanta. SistaChrysa has already BOR'd eleven of her father's (BroZach) accounts, but she says that she's stopping there -- because her brother will soon be working at Lockton, and she wants to leave some accounts for him to take. Not pictured: Any of BroZach's clients.
BroFlowerPower and BroZorro asked to have this photo taken from above to obscure any double-and triple-chins. Looks like it worked!
An aerial view of the truly excellent food on hand at Mykonos Blue, as photographed by the FETA drone.
And, finally, we leave you with a shot of BroTeddyBear hanging out with all of his FETA friends.
Until the next party...
Yasou!
