So, I'm late to the review party on this one, but at least I made it to the event on time.

It was a fun evening hanging out in my PJs while catching up with my Yelp friends and meeting some of the newer elites.  I even had a nice chat with the owner.

Our wonderful new CM, Robin, started out her first CMYE with a bang.  Or was that the sound of Jengas collapsing?  

Robin quickly pulled things together and got us a bunch of seats at the Irish Heather, mere doors away from the original location.  I…More »
