On Thursday night we had a Pre-Birthday Happy Hour at B Restaurant & Bar.  I was impressed by the number of people who came by to help me celebrate.  These people included: friends from high school, friends from college, friends from work, friends from our trip to Belize, and family too!!  I love bibimpap and I feel no need to compartmentalize my company like a bento box.  Just put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix it up!!

Turns out I may be a connector too.  Among the hodgepodge of people that gathered, we managed to make several connections:

• Ranee (co-worker) is best friends with my cousin Ishya.
• Michelle (college friend) was best friends with Ishya’s sister in-law (Debbie) back in elementary school.
• My high school buddies went to Cal and so did Ranee and Jamie.
• Van (friend we met in Belize) works at UCSF where he knows a fellow PT classmate of Ranee and Ishya.
• Billy’s brother works at Yelp! and so does DikShun.

Neato Mosquito, huh?!

Anyway, I had a great time and it was so nice to see everyone together in one place.  I also got to try some yummy cocktails and had my share of the margarita pitchers we ordered at Chevy’s.  Surprisingly I woke up feeling pretty darn good despite the number of drinks I had last night.

Here are the photos from the evening.
