The party was inspired by our roommates Stephen and Renee - veterans of the San Francisco scene. For those of you who haven't visited (Attention: Pretty much all of our friends), our apartment is an easy four blocks from Union St - one of the main dining and shopping avenues in the city. This weekend, the city hosted the 36th Annual Union Street Festival. The event is a San Francisco staple featuring the best bay area food vendors, craft and antiques dealers and, of course, lots of street partying.
Anyway, the festival officially started at noon, so Emily and I decided to host a brunch/pre-party beforehand. The party was a huge success. Our good friend Nick Shelton came over early to help us make some good southern grits and even brought fresh croissants from a local bakery. We also cooked cinnamon rolls and bought a dozen donut holes. For the beverages, we served beer, mimosas and bloody marys (my new personal fave).
As you can see from the pictures above, everyone had a really great time. The first picture is a shot of our tiny kitchen. On the far left of the image is baby Sterling, our friends Taylor and Craig's newborn. Behind them is Nick, the chef himself in red and Karolis who is deep in conversation with Craig. The second picture is nothing special, just the obligatory photo of Emily and I. We are having such an amazing adventure out here and I think this picture captures the happy life we are starting to build together. Finally, you have a picture of me and my boys (that's for you Chris). Karolis (left) and Chris (right) are two of my closest friends from work. Both love startups and can sell in their sleep. Love both of them.
After the party, we all headed down to the Union Street Festival. All in all our first party and the ensuing festivities were a huge success!
