We have the tools, we have the talent.
There is a lot of decent stuff going on this weekend: parties, gaming, dancing, and drinking. There is nothing intrinsically different about this upcoming weekend than many other weekends in the past, but there's nothing intrinsically different about a big plate of your favorite sushi either. Nine times out of ten it's going to be delicious every time you eat it.

speaking of sushi
Adding an element of intimacy to all of this is the spacing of the tables and insulated interiors. Voices carry; but they don't assault. Incredibly, the best seats in the house are at one table toward the back of the dining room. It's a virtual island and confers upon whoever's dining at it the illusion of public privacy - you are free to survey and be surveyed, but at a polite remove. The lack of contiguousness is pretty exhilarating. For people who make ecstatic noise when they have a good piece of fish, this is the most functional of tables. No one can hear you moan.
