ok, that photo is probably ready for retirement.  the "friends" in it aren't philosophers or "philosophy groupies", they're lively young women having a night out in melbourne who we fell into conversation with for a minute or two on the way out of a restaurant.  they and michael were good sports about the photo.  but since the photo seems to be triggering hendricks-esque "groupie" stereotypes, it probably make sense to delete it (as i've just done).
