We all knew that if we got too rowdy, PSG would punish us by closing down the "fake guccis" thread; and no one wants that.

But at the first one, there were discussions around clothes (surprise); impressions and opinions of the men's stores around SF: wilkes, saks, etc. and who are the quality salespersons at each; favorite restaurants, bars, etc.; suggestions on places to go and things to do for a few who recently moved to SF; a little politics, and a dash of religion among a few members who already had a previously running dialog on those subjects. I wouldn't expect everyone to be BFFs, but we were all friendly enough that I don't think anyone left that night feeling like they wouldn't be invited back or made any enemies.
Sounds fun. I probably wouldn't be able to make it in person but you could put me on speaker in the middle of the table.

^Certainly not. And yes, it was a lot of fun and very friendly. Will probably go tomorrow, since dinner is later now. Let you know for sure today.

I have not eaten there, but given it's Westernized Vietnamese food my expectations are very low.

How does it compare with the Slanted Doors?

Better atmosphere, better drinks, food is not as good, and is more Americanized.

You slipped in there quickly. I meant to say no to what Binge said about PSG.

It's a wonder to me that no one has schemed to get you and Manton to both show up at one of these things. Hi-jinks would definitely ensue.

I know the guy who started the chain, or at least was the big investor. Big, obnoxious German guy who fucked too many pretty girls. His wife left him soon after the first one opened. ****** golfer, and even shittier gambler on the course. Real asshole.
