FETA Christmas Party 2020!


Professional models hired to beautify photos posted to the FETA blog? No vlaka! It's FETA's very own BroMichaelJordanGeorge, BroFranzLuBeckenbauer, SistaCassisAblanca and SistaEllaFitzgerald.

We're not sure what the "This" arrow is all about (this photo was contributed to the FETA blog by someone from the National Enquirer) but we see four beauties enjoying the evening at Loi Estiatorio (with thanks again to Maria and her great staff for a wonderful evening!) 

BroGeneric and long-lost friend BroFlowerPower (they were stevedors together at the Port of Piraeus in the 1960s). Hey, get a (generic) room boyz! (Not pictured: Their "wives.") 

Every successful party needs a "Lady in Red." Newly-minted FETAn Sista JanetComenos (whose official FETA nickname escapes the SEC at the moment -- hey, there's over 130 to remember! -- so we'll go with Sista RedSox) filled that role on January 22nd. 

Excellent group shot of seemingly-normal people (looks can be deceiving). FETA Trivia: Sista Straggler (left) turned 29 the day after our party. 

George Clooney stopped by unexpectedly and was gracious enough to pose for a photo with our wonderful host, Maria Loi, and Pappas Post publishing magnate Gregory Pappas. (Not pictured: Amal Clooney)

FETAns discussing how pleased they are with the SEC's work in leading the organization to new heights (at least that's what the SEC assumes they were talking about...) 

Everybody wants to be pictured on the FETA blog with an empty plate of chow in front of them! (Not pictured: The piles of food that were there minutes earlier...) 

FETA maturity and dignity is on full display in this photo. Nothing like the old devil horns (center) and the attempted furtive nose-picking (BroKambo, center right) to class up an event! 

BroPaschalLamb toasts the camera. He had one too many grape juices at this point...

BroMichaelJordanGeorge and SistaCassisAblanca pose for what might be the cover of the next FETA Annual Report (Note: Our stock price is soaring these days.)  


Robert DeNiro stopped in after his PROVOLONE meeting. Here he's pictured with all of his friends. 

Our lovely party organizers, Sistas LambrOuzo and E-Kat, flank their high school math teacher while reliving tales of the good old days in algebra class. (Not pictured: the pocket protector.) 

The ceremonial cutting of the vasilopita, generously sprinkled with Bolivian Marching Powder (also known as "California Cornflakes" or "Booger Sugar") donated by BroCoke from his private Bay Area stash. 

BroJimBrownopoulos ponders how he can bribe the people at Ancestry.com to say that his DNA test reveals he's 99% Greek. Notice Bros FlowerPower and KootiesRidis in the background speaking in Italian sign language (also known simply as "Italian.") (Did you hear about the Italian who broke his arm? He couldn't talk for a week.)  

And, finally, BroMichaelJordanGeorge closes our photo essay with a toast (ouzo, of course) to another successful FETA Christmas Party (note, his is NOT from the bottle of ouzo that he keeps in his desk at work).  Thanks again to our generous sponsors:

as well as our organizers, Sistas LambrOuzo and E-Kat, and, of course, Loi Estiatorio, Maria Loi, her staff and all of our attendees for creating another great FETA evening. Yasou!
