It's taken me a few days to come down from the excitement of this party. I'm not sure how you fabulous ladies (Robin and Crystal) managed to pull off such an amazing event, but you guys certainly deserve a ton of praise.

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.

I like food and booze. I like burlesque. I also like photobooths full of Yelpers. The Elite event at The Keefer had all of these, so it was a pretty solid win.
It's a tight space, and the mirrors kept tricking me out, but I like the place. It has…More »
Simply amazeballs.
This event was truly unique. What a great idea! I loved the focus on local, sustainable ingredients. And I loved the whole secret surprise, for both us and the chef.
All the teams did a great job sourcing their local…More »
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 »
You know what really made this event for me? The staff. They were so involved in the theme, super pleasant, and donated all the tips to Japan Red Cross. How cool is that?
Unfortunately, I arrived late due to some technical difficulties. After a…More »
I'm not sure how these elite parties could possibly get any better. The bar has been set pretty high. The Pink Party was off the hook amazing, from the food, to the service, to the incredible drinks.
I think the best thing about this event was the…More »

Props to Reena for a very successful event. I wish I could have stayed longer and gone to Cedar Cottage, but I had other commitments.
I was impressed with how fast the dosas were coming out despite how busy they were in there. They were very…More »
If my hangover is any indication, last night was awesome!
I can be a pretty cynical bitch, and there are plenty of people in this world I don't like. But I can honestly say that Yelpers are some of the nicest, friendliest bunch of people I have ever…More »
Yay Yelp! The Yelp booth was rockin' last night. It was definitely a popular attraction, especially once Boots the Santa Cat arrived.
Thanks for the train tickets, Cyndi! We waited in line with hundreds of screaming children, but it was all…More »

Well done Yelpers, another karaoke night dominated by us!
Last Christmas I would have never dreamed of jumping on stage and singing karaoke, but thanks to you Yelpers with your backup and support I am happy to get up there and sing like it's a…More »

Thanks to Reena for organizing!
It was a pretty good turn out for a Saturday morning. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time, but having you all there made it a lot easier, and I definitely enjoyed having a support group. I am totally in for…More »
Way to go Cyndi on your first event!
The theme was super fun, and the staff from St. Regis were very, very nice. The thin crust pizza was my fave, as the balsamic reduction was divine. And as usual, the drinks did not stop flowing until the very…More »
My first Trivia Night! And hopefully not my last.
Thanks Vincci, for organizing the fun. Good call on the specials, too. Mmm oysters. Plentiful oysters with sauces and horseradish for only $1. And $3 beer. Now that's a deal that will suit my…More »
Congrats to Cyndi in her new role, and on her first CMYE!
I was a little concerned about the location of the event, being so close to sketchville, but I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The location wasn't nearly as dark as I expected, and…More »
Thanks everyone for coming out to the book swap! It was fun, I met new Yelpers, and most importantly we swapped a lot of books! Next time I will call ahead with reservations.
We also gained two new knitters last night. Woohoo!
I hope we can have…More »
Thanks Crystal for planning another event for us Yelpers!
I had a fun time snacking on tapas while sipping beverages and catching up with my favourite Yelpers. I even got to meet a few new elites, and finally meet some folks whose reviews I have…More »
Wow. Good times, good food, good people, good music. What more can you ask for?
Huge props to Reena for all her organizing, and a very Happy Birthday to Crystal! Katie and Derek, well done on the delicious cake, too!
My clothing felt tight after…More »
Once again, another fun and fabulous evening with my ever-expanding group of new Yelp friends. My slight hangover this morning is testament to how awesome the party was. I always meet new and cool people and have so much fun seeing the usual people…More »
This was a great idea! Thanks for organizing, Desiree!
What a great way to spend a lazy afternoon in the sun. Pedaling around the lake in a 4-person pedal boat with some beverages and good peeps, the only thing lacking was a bit of music, but we…More »

Thanks Reena for organizing a fun night out! The turnout was awesome!
I enjoyed having a nearly private karaoke event, since there were only a couple people not in our group that sang. I'm guessing it was because the service and prices suck... but…More »
Can I really review my own event? This seems wrong (flag away if not allowed). I just wanted to say thanks to eveyone that came out. You guys were fun to talk to, and it was great to meet some new peeps.
Sadly, I was not full after Mis Trucos, so…More »
I still can't believe they let us around their art and clothes with food and drinks (sometimes more than one) in our hands. Ayden Gallery is very trusting! And I loved that the artists were just chilling and working on their pieces in front of…More »

My slightly hungover condition this morning was absolutely worth the fun I had at last night's Yelp Elite event! My first!
We talked, we laughed, we danced, we strutted our runway best, and we ate and drank the most amazing stuff ever. SO GOOD! I…More »
Baaahahaha, Crystal! Not quite! I loved your song choice, though, and have been singing it in my head all morning! I need to dig out that CD. You have some serious dance moves and rock star qualities, and did a fab job!
Pennylane, you have mad…More »
Really amazing party. Thanks so much for hosting this. I can't believe it was all free! We did of course leave tips for the super great bartenders.
The Wink corner was so great, and it made for a fun atmosphere with people wearing moustaches and long…More »

Thank you, Larry!
What a great introduction to Szechuan food! Also, way to roll with the punches and quickly set up a new venue when the initial reservation fell through. Kudos to everyone for being able to make quick changes and make it to…More »
