It seemed like such a grand accomplishment when I become a Yelp Elite (http://danielyslee.com/2009/01/28/yelp-elite/), but after all the hard work I never made it out to any elite events… until this weekend!  It was the Yelp Sunset Showdown party/bash/madness in the Richmond (city of, not district).  As expected, there were lots of free drinks and foods of all kinds, not to mention the bands & entertainment (including a ridiculous burlesque show).  The sushi line was also ridiculous,  but in a bit of a different way.  Overall, we had a great time and I’m looking forward to the next elite event.

06/26/2011: No pictures of the real dancers allowed! Absurd indeed.

06/26/2011: Running into some elite friends! We were in this sushi line for 1.5 hours.

06/26/2011: After waiting in line forever for a hang roll, we went over to Sushi House in Alameda to finish off our craving.

Joe graciously hosted a “Wine All You Want” party tonight and invited the coolest people in SF (yes, that includes yours truly, moi).  I was a little worn out from the night before and a full day of golf in the afternoon, but the wines were great and the pairings just as awesome.  Thanks again Joe!

06/25/2011: Chef Joe & Eric preparing Argentinian Chimichurri steak hors d'oeuvres!

06/25/2011: Recipe for a great night? Delicious wine & pairings + awesome company!

This was my third or fourth Giants game at AT&T Park for their annual Korean Heritage Night.  This year was special because Choo Shin-Soo on the Indians came to visit.  I wasn’t sure who to cheer for when he came up to bat… fortunately he was knocked-out of the game by a pitch on his second at bat and I didn’t have to worry for too long.

06/24/2011: Beautiful AT&T Park on a gorgeous SF day.

06/24/2011: Giants vs Indians; Great view of the bay from our seats.

06/24/2011: The park was packed with fans tonight!

06/24/2011: Keeping warm with Jean P.!

Looks like my weekly, or somewhat-weekly dinner date will be no longer.  It’s okay, for I need to hide like a hermit and study for the next year anyway.  Best wishes in the COLD and WINTERY east coast, and see you in Korea next year :)

06/23/2011: Dinner @ Live Sushi with Boram, Dennis & Jean. One of the freshest sushi you'll find in SF!

06/23/2011: Live Sushi- Sad to see Boram go. Well, at least I was sad, everybody else seems fine if not happy...
