The suave man up front with the wine glass is Jeff Waxman, who together with Thomas Flynn (both of the Seminary Co-op) organized this classy event. We're in a wine store here, LUSH, in University Village near UIC, where I lurked as a grad student for quite some time. Next to Jeff is my wonderful colleague at UIUC, Audrey Petty. Warning: that guy in the red shirt stole six cases of wine and was last seen in Eugene, Oregon. Three Zen men stand in back, otherwise keeping us in line.
