Foodbuzz Welcome Reception and More

What a day!!!!

All I have to say is ….

It has been a whirlwind of festivities after festivities !!! Starting with check in

This afternoon Melissa and I headed down to the Sir. Francis Drake Hotel to pick up our name tags and…

swag bags!!!

Love it!

We got a crap load of fun stuff and then headed for a quick snack at Jamba Juice.

I had a Pumpkin Smash Smoothie. I will be sad when this is out of season

The loot! Check out all the fun kitchen utensils (shoes not included).

What is this?!

 

Mustache?!

Then it was time to get ready in our hotel room

 

Then we were off!!! All the roomies and Emily.

They took us down to the welcome reception in a big bus. Reminded me of our senior trip

 

The Welcome Reception and Street Food Fare was in the historic Fort Mason Pavilion.

 

 

We couldn’t have had a more beautiful night.

As soon as I walked in their were servers handing out wine :) 

Our table.

Munchies.

Food Network! They were there filming a show for Cupcake Wars!

Let the food tasting begin! 

I was determined to get out of my comfort zone and meet lots of new bloggers. It was actually pretty easy, especially when they just come up to me! I met Cate tonight who is a blogger and a reader, she was so great! Wish we lived closer!

A pastry to munch on while we mingled.

Foodbuzz set up a blogger gift exchange, where we brought some treats from our home town. I was blessed to get some amazing treats from Natalie from St. Louis.

 

The place was packed!

I tried to pace myself!

 

I loved the cute Mission Street Cupcakes, but none for me.

They were super adorable though.

 

I finally got to me Gina! Love her blog

More food.

(I stole this picture from Monica )

These two were great! I can’t wait to start following their blog.

More fun new blogger friends!

And the girl who inspired me to start a blog, Kath! So glad I got to finally meet her.

 

We are back at the hotel just blogging away. We are all pretty tired so I am sure we are going to call it an early night. Tomorrow we have a blogger run at 6:30am, can’t wait to run in the city

Nite!
