Some of my favorite sequences are irimi nage with Mark, and pretty much everything I did with Eric. Here's Mark making me look good, for instance (and even here, my posture could use some work!)
Here's the video (I've edited it down to just under 12 minutes):

Honestly, there were quite a few techniques that I don't recall, and I'm not sure how I'd even name them. I was just trying to do something like what Gaston Sensei was calling out. I'm happy with how I dealt with that kind of adversity. I told several people the story of how, at one point, I started to panic, thinking "what's he talking about? -- am I this unprepared?" As luck would have it, I happened to look down at my feet and see those black painted toenails, and I loosened up (thanks, Tonya).
Even Jiyu Waza looked OK, mostly.
...and there's that pesky Randori. I'll be living with this for a long time, and I only included this sequence in the "highlight" reel to remind myself that I'm not the bigshot that I sometimes think I am. It really looks as bad in the video as it felt. When Evil Todd grabbed me from behind, I was already pretty tired, and from there I really never got my bearings -- I never recovered. Well, perhaps at the veeeeery end -- when I threw A.K and moved right to Christie. I want to believe I was about the finally get a rhythm going, but Sensei clapped.
