This was certainly neither my first rodeo nor my first Martini Madness but I have to say it was one of the best. The crazy unseasonal rainy weather in June had all of the makings for a poor attendance but it just didn't happen. A great turnout at a very cool San Francisco nightclub called Monroe just had the best of vibe possible.
So I just snapped away and I apologize if I did not capture you in my photo montage of the evening but that could easily happen again on August 2 when we return for the special birthday edition of Martini Madness at Vessel. OMG! All this carrying on and smack dab in the middle of the busy wedding season.
Full house and yet still cool for rubbing shoulders, dancing and schmooze factor
Killer flat bread pizza with asparagus topping was difficult to resist
OK, so I couldn't resist! :-)

In a word Monoe is Cool.
My parting shot is of Duncan and Jason playing around in the DJ booth – Too Much Fun!
Thanks again Mr. Reyes for another great evening of Madness with Martinis or whatever you choice of imbibing happened to be. We look forward to a repeat on August 2.

ReplyDeleteHi Carl,
ReplyDeleteThanks! You show just a slice of the goings-on, but you capture the excitement that swirled through that remarkable room all evening. How many people attended? 80? 100? Party pros from all over the SF Bay Area, enjoying a grand time with their best colleagues. A memorable time — what could be better? Easy: Duncan's next soiree, on August 2nd. See you there!
Robbie
