Altamont West

It was Tori's birthday weekend and the weekend before Thanksgiving. There was a lot to be thankful for and to celebrate, but all she really wanted was an excuse to stuff her face with food and turn up. Which is how she found herself hosting a Friendsgiving feast at the condo she shared with Avan. Family, friends old and new and associates were invited over to enjoy a menu of Thanksgiving staples, Cuban classics and whichever contributions they elected to bring to the literal table. There were plenty of drinks to go around and everyone was invited to eat and celebrate the holiday!
