NY Rico-Soiree Photos and More!

Humza Ahmad · July 2, 2011 at 12:11am

The Rico-Soiree in New York was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who made it out with us. Please enjoy these pictures, and hopefully we'll be seeing more from PJS (who has, I must admit, a better camera than me).

And as a special bonus, pictures from my San Francisco burrito quest in November, where Diane and Ricochet's CEO joined me for a tasty slab.

I know it doesn't look like it based on my facial expression in that picture, but I had a lot of fun.

This looks awesome. Also, I have no idea which Ricochetista is which.

Thanks for the pictures.

When we do this in Texas, I'm coming in jeans and a T-shirt. You're all so much classier than I am.

Those burritos look like Freebirds.

Thanks for the pictures. It looks like you guys had fun. I'd like to know when the next meeting in the NorCal is taking place and would love to meet the other members in person. You guys must have been the most social table in the restaurant.

I will ID the top picture, using Ricochet IDs. We had a couple of non-members there, whom I will identify by who the accompanied. L-R: Emily's boyfriend's colleague, PJS, Emily's boyfriend, ParisParamus, Jan-Michael Rives, Jan Michael's "+1" Eliese (who has now joined I see!), Diane Ellis, Emily Esfahani Smith, mfgcbot. I'll post a few soon!

Sold. If there's Freebirds near you, Aaron, I'm coming down to Texas and treating you to a burrito.

This may have been the largest gathering of conservatives in New York in years (with the exception of staff meetings at National Review). Woops: and Fox news.

There's indeed a Freebirds near me. I look forward to it.

The Logo tells me Spring, TX is one of Ricochet's biggest hit generators per capita, but I've only met one other RicocheTexan from the area so far. If you can coax them out of hiding, we'll have ourselves a grand soiree.

I find the lack of facial hair disturbing. Humza, couldn't you have gotten into one of the shots? We Hirsute-Americans are underrepresented.

Is it just me or are any other members surprised by the reasonably young crowd? Perhaps there's hope after all...

I feel the same way, Aaron--they are all so fancy! Shoot, now I have to start worrying about what to wear at the upcoming DC-area Rico-meetup!

Speaking of fancy, those pictures are a clear reminder that conservative women are how hippies are ultimately converted to our side.

Who's that hot chick? Oh wait, it's Diane. No, it's Emily. Man, they must've fought over the Leg Chair.
