SF in SF meetup: It's as easy as 1-2-3.

[binge]

I very much enjoyed getting together with everyone again last night, and to finally meet chorse in person.

Again, thank you for bringing a very generous sampling of the Howard Yount goods for us to fondle and covet at our gentleman's tupperware party. Tremendous stuff. I already have enough orders mentally queued up from last night to cover the expense of your trip!

If anyone out there is one the fence about buying something from HY -- take the plunge, you won't be disappointed. As good as the wares look on the website, they are even better in person. I think we were all in disbelief that the wool scarves were just wool; I swear they were so soft and luxurious that I expected a non-trivial amount of cashmere blended in. And the ties -- fantastic. I think we all will be putting orders in on that charcoal & purple plaid, among others. And I'm very much looking forward to some of those unlined linen numbers for next summer.

Neo, thanks for posting the pictures so promptly. Nice job with the collage. And a special thanks to Mrs. Finitia for letting her husband stay out late and have dinner with the gang.

And thanks for all the kind words, it was my pleasure to organize. BTW, more pictures were taken with Chorse's camera as well; but I won't expect to see them posted until he and his wife are back home in NYC.

Lastly, to all those stricken ill and had to bow out: we wish you a speedy recovery!

Everyone looks great! Hopefully there will be a future event that me and the hubby can attend.

On behalf of the group, thanks for the compliment. There's a very good chance of us squeezing in another meetup before Thanksgiving. After that, the holidays are in full swing and everyone's dance card is full through the new year.

Watch this space...

No problem. I am still reminiscing over that St. Georges pinot , grilled ribeye, and the caramel au sale ice cream

Oh this is sad, I'm actually in SF now, and I had no idea.

Lots of fun! Thanks, guys. This morning was a little rough, but it was a great weekend. Thanks for posting those pics so quickly, Neo. I realized a little late in the game that I couldn't really show you guys the items, drink, and photograph at the same time. That said, a few quick ones:

And your lovely city:

Oh wow, that is a brilliant photo collage.

^Very nice!

A great place to visit, but I lived a couple blocks from there last year, and it was not fun. Too cold, dark, and windy. Thanks again for coming out and bringing the loot!

Yeah, I hear we had an unusually nice day to go up there.
