Happy New Year...

Last night was mellow but fun - my first New Year's celebration in a city. Oh, just kidding, forgot about Providence in 2001. Well, my first New Year's in San Francisco, anyway. Ben, Terri, who flew out for a few days, and I combed the Mission District for some food before hitting a packed party downtown at 111 Minna. The crowd was a bit more posh than usual (they're already pretty WASPy), but the overall vibe was cool. Luckily, the rain held off until well after midnight, making our 20 minute wait for a cab much more pleasurable than if it had been raining. Since ArtDecoDenny's had a 45-minute wait, we just combed through my pantry for some late-night snacks. Nothing like garlic bread with cheese at 3 a.m. after a night of drinking, eh?

Oh, and it's been a year. Can you believe it?
