Sister Cities Dinner and Auction 2024

Leave a comment

Had an amazing time at the Sister Cities International Dinner and Auction, which took place at the Filipino Community Center here in Vallejo. I helped Shea pick out this beautiful barong at Vallejo’s own Barong & Formal. The event was in recognition of Sister City La Spezia, Italy, where my cousin lives with his family. I got to speak a little Italian with the Italian dancers who performed, which I think they appreciated. There was a buffet from at least nine different cultures, as well as representatives from many parts of the world.

Birthdays, Parties

Birthday 56

Had a wonderful birthday party and was very pleased with the folks who showed up on a work night (Tuesday). There was even live music and singing courtesy of Brian and Andres! Not pictured are Desiree Allyn and her son Cliff, who left before I remembered to break out the camera.

Chef Shea stayed up late the night before and worked all day to prepare a lot of this from scratch, which was staged in the extra garage fridge:

Shea made wonderful omelets to start the day. We ended up having Thai food for dinner in downtown Vallejo, and then made our way to San Francisco. We stopped by Greg and Steve’s pied-à-terre in the Castro, then walked over to the Pilsner for a drink, where we met a guy who was also celebrating his birthday. He even bought us a round and had some cake to share with us! Afterward, Shea and I went to Bearracuda, which I had not been to in many years. This is in addition to my other posting here where Greg, Steve, Shea, and I took pictures under the rainbow laser lights.
