Much like the sapling grows from the snowy ground or the tortilla chip is transformed into a nacho by the amazing process of cheeseification, such must we all go through the transformative process of getting older. Like the mighty nacho, I feel another year adds another layer of epic (hopefully).

And a birthday without a party is akin to a hipster...

It's my Birthday this Saturday the 7th! Wanna come celebrate with me?

Update:

We are getting closer to the weirdness. Hope you can make it. If you have other plans like office parties or awkward Scandinavian 4-day prior to Winter Solstice events, plan on going to Mighty later for some dancing around midnite. http://www.mighty119.com/

Hey team,

I'm getting really old. Fortunately, my name day falls during a...

The holiday season is upon us and so is the coming wave of holiday parties. But here’s the big question- to bring a date or not? If yes and all the magazine-fabricated icebreakers, 100s of new positions, one-liners, Groupon dating spots and OKCupid profiles aren’t delivering, we at INFORUM have just the thing: our holiday dating panel. INFORUM...

It's my birthday! Come get a drink with me :)

P.S. There won't be ribs that night, sadly - this is just my tribute to Movember.

We've decided to mix up our First Friday Cereal Bars a bit and switch to an afternoon gathering.

Please pop over for a visit this Friday afternoon before you head out to your evening plans for mingling with our team and other Foodspotting friends over delicious affogatos. Too late for caffeine? Then do our regular "dessert first"...

Heeeeere's Johnny!


There once was a party at Houseku
The no other party could out-do
The decor was classy
Your costumes were trashy
And everybody had a really great time so come over this Halloween and let's do it again.
Also, take Tuesday off work.


If you want to hand out candy to little kids, our street is basically the little kid...

Exactly what it says.

Let's have a tea party for lunch at Samovar (Yerba Buena Location) on Halloween while wearing costumes.

I figure a lot of us will be planning to wear costumes anyway for Halloween, so let's just go enjoy a mad tea party starting at noon and lasting until people stop hanging around. Invite or bring anybody you feel...

hello friends, you should totally go to this. there is limited capacity so you should, like, totally sign up.

You are cordially invited to celebrate the birth of Roderick Alexander Begbie by serenading him with old-fashioned love songs, dubstep madrigals or anything else your heart desires.

Hecklers and bystanders welcome.

Friends and loved ones,

This coming weekend I'll be in town for Daniel and Sharon's wedding. Thursday night I'm staying in SF, though, and would love to see you fine folks for a little bit! Thinking about pre-drinks dinner and then a couple social hours at my favorite bar/karaoke lounge in SF: Festa Wine & Cocktail Lounge.

Let...

After an inconceivably long time (like, seriously, 10 years?!) I'm finally done with my 20s.

Come help me celebrate by drinking cheap beers and good whiskey in my living room (ie. my local watering hole, The Homestead... 321 checkins and counting).

I've rented out the back room and DJ Pete Gaudi will be spinning old soul, country and...

Yes, again, this time for my birthday! Hopefully a few people can come hang out early to grab a fire ring, and/or come later to burn stuff and sing songs around the fire!

The fire rings are near the stairs numbered 17, right in front of Beach Chalet.

If you come early and it's warm out, bring a swimming suit and a towel. The ocean is...

You guys probably know how this works better than I do:

Arrive in the afternoon to stake out a fire ring, jump in the ocean, fly kites, picnic, chase dogs, watch the sunset…

Fire up the bonfire around dusk, make s'mores, tell stories, someone bring a banjo…

Bring warm layers, out by 10 or so, yeah?
Can someone help me bring in...

It's official, we are moving to the Pacific Northwest at the end of the month (in case you missed it: http://capw.me/m5eQw5). We'd love to get all our friends together one last time for a proper send off. We've invited everyone we can think of, but as always, invite anyone we forgot (it turns out we made a lot of friends in the last...

Let's start at Thieves Tavern for some drinks and high fives before walking somewhere else for low fives and slurring. Bring your own sword (BYOS).

If you're coming late call one of us for an update on current location.

I'm turning 33 on Saturday July 16th. I would like to celebrate with drinking. YOU SHOULD JOIN ME! Pretty please? With double chocolate fudge cake on top?

Let's all go to the lovely new bar Churchill and consume delicious beverages together. We can talk about good times and our mutual love of dessert. Because everyone loves dessert!...

Join us, the Foodspotting team, at a hometown Eat-up with The Rib Whip!

Our friends at The Rib Whip will be closing off their Ritch Street lot to dedicate this private party to all our Foodspotters and friends that evening. We'll even have a special Foodspotting discount!

Excited that we'll get to gather over delicious BBQ and beer....

Last year, we had a fun group of BBQ and football/soccer fans descend upon The Panhandle for meat and the first Panhandle World Cup football/soccer match. Let's do it again.

I will be carting my gas grill down from my apartment a few blocks away to the Panhandle at Fell and Central and playing grillmaster. I will be cleaning the grill of all...

The only official group things I'm going to organize while in town:
For everything else, just call me - I've purposely left my schedule open.
If you want me to add you to the google calendar, just let me know! I have a tendency to be bad about collecting emails.
