Being the kind soul that I am, I arrived on time to help set up only to find no one at the hall.

Anisa's first moment of usefulness. I am so proud of her.

Anisa and one of her many suitors.

Notice her uncomfortable smile as this stranger literally asked her to marry him.

Capitalizing on my engineering background I was made responsible for lighting aka flicking light switches 1 and 2.

Anisa was responsible for curtains.

Ahdieh fans flock to fill the auditorium.

I was the opening act.

A veritable One Man Band.

The crowd didn't seem impressed...

Bagha the usher.

Seena the information hander-outer.

Mo in CD sales.

Kamran the doorman who in true Kamran fashion asked Ahdieh for a ticket and even stamped her hand.

The concert was so stupendous that some had to close their eyes and listen carefully to grasp every audible nuance.

Anisa schmoozing with Erfan

Intermission

Even on the phone he can pull off a fake smile. Now that's talent.

My cousin Nikita.

With Ahdieh out of the way I could take up my role as concert headliner.

I'm sure I heard a cricket chirp...

After-dinner at Yang Sheng

Where me and Payam battled it out for the honor of the Falcon and Dragon.
