It's a pretty rare occasion nowadays when I get blitzed.  I couldn't have picked a better night to do so (who cares about photographing duties?!).  Had an epic time last night -- it was just the thing I needed.

Big ups to:

- My partner in drunkenness,…More »

Great event...best ever?!?!

General observations and knowledge gained:

1. Karl R. was surrounded by Asian women the entire night
2. MSG appears in soya sauce, but not at the same concentrations as in a dish like pho (yet to be confirmed)
3. Angela L.…More »

Hey, this is a review right, why sugar coat things?  Yeah, I'm gonna be "that guy" to rate this four stars -- though I had a good time meeting everyone and seeing familiar faces.  Kat did a great job of course, so her job is safe (for…More »

Yeah...four stars.  It was good, but the other Elite parties really set the bar high.  Why was this four stars?

1. I showed up late.  I guess I missed a lot of the early on greatness.  My bad.
2. I didn't eat anything and only drank club soda.  My bad.…More »

Another solid event from Kat F. + Co...and one I could actually attend!  I miss a couple of these things and all of a sudden I don't recognize anyone, and no one knows who the fuck Neil T. is!

Loved the cupping -- couldn't believe how much dorky tech…More »

Not bad, not bad at all.  Hope I didn't offend anyone with my picture taking last night.  Kat F. gets angry when people don't show up in pictures.  I did my best before my camera had a massive failure.  Thanks to the sympathizers.
