Crystal H. and Yelp really know how to throw an event.  The Wallflower provided the perfect back drop to this intimate and sassy event.  The swag/shwag was perfect!  Buttons, lipbalm, emery boards were all over the tables.  Five jello-shots were…More »

I didn't stay for the full 2 hours but what I did catch was enjoyable.  We loved the raspberry/sparkling wine cocktail and were very impressed with the creative Guinness/sparkling wine combo.  Who woulda thunk??  We admired each painting around the…More »

Kudos to Mis Trucos' owner/chef Kris for DJing at this event.  Nicely played tunes!

Another lovely event - thanks Crystal!  The Makers Mark cocktails were delicious and seemed quite complicated to make.  They went down a bit too easily so I switched to the Tinhorn Chardonnay which wasn't bad.  The canapes were tasty although I would…More »

So my husband joined facebook last weekend.  Seriously.  Getting him to come to a yelp event was, well, challenging.  I almost felt like I tricked him into coming to this one.  No offense to previous events.

On the cab ride home I'm pretty sure I…More »
