Remember Sarah? She’s finally getting married next month, so this past weekend, we surprised her with an awesome party, complete with hilarious spells to tear-jerking moments. Clad in bachelorette party favors, we roamed around downtown San Francisco for an awesome scavenger hunt, went Sonoma/Napa vinyard hopping in a fancy limo, and danced the night away at Infusion Lounge (with our fresh mani/pedicures). Pho was pretty much mandatory the next morning. Hope you had fun, Sarah!

Two Sundays ago, Ryan and I went back to Berkeley to catch my sister’s dance performance on Upper Sproul. Various clubs were selling food and showcasing performances in order to fundraise for children in Ghana — not a bad idea. Ryan recorded most of AFX’s performance on his phone while I snapped away with my camera. Enjoy!

A MADMEN-themed Apartment Birthday!
The end of the month marks our one year anniversary living in our cozy Inner Sunset apartment, so we thought we’d throw a party before The Deep Clean. Helen wanted it to be MADMEN-themed (perfect excuse for girls to wear cute dresses and guys to show up in suits!), so we busted out the fake pearls and polka-dotted hosiery (is that even characteristic of the ’60s?). Or think Banana Republic. (Actually, I don’t know, I don’t watch TV, and I had to google image our own party theme.) I just know that I really appreciated the tie clips, tweed jackets, and newsboy caps (which probably aren’t particular to the ’60s either — but cute nonetheless). Somehow, Helen managed to find candy cigarettes and vintage posters/Madmen promo material to complete the ensemble! Carry along to the photos.

Hong Kong from Above
People in Hong Kong love to “queue” in line for hours just for dim sum, afternoon tea, and particularly…any tourist attraction. One of the longest lines I’ve seen yet is the one to hop onto the historic peak tram; it winds around the entire block and tourists will stand in line for three hours+ just to experience the steep ride up top the top of Hong Kong. Pro-tip: Don’t be a groupie and do what everyone else does. If you walk up to the very front, you’ll realize that you can buy tickets to Madame Tussaud’s, which comes in a package with tram tickets! Pay a little extra, wait in a much shorter line, and see a bit extra at the peak!
