Celebrating Robert's B-day - and Papu is in town!

What a jam-packed weekend! First, it was the weekend before Robert's birthday (the last weekend in May) and second, our good friend Papu was in town for work. Papu is one of Scott's closest friends from Helena. He used to run a board shop in Helena and has recently been doing some freelance work for another Helena friend, Dave, who lives in San Fran. The company that Dave works for, Facebook, was going through a big market launch and Papu was in town helping out. We were so excited to have him here as we haven't seen him since Xmas and he's always so fun to hang out with. It was great to see him!

The other great part of the weekend was that Robert and Liza were able to come to town, see Papu, and we celebrated Robert's birthday early.

Thursday night was the annual Spring Show for the Academy of Art...this is the night that undergrads show off select pieces of work they've worked on all year long and grad students get to show off their portfolios in hopes of being hired for a job. The Spring Show is always so fun and it's great to see all the different styles of art come together, from fashion to graphic design to illustration to sculpture.

Friday night we met Papu, Dave, Dave's girlfriend and friend/co-worker Nate out at a club. It was fun, but a little too crowded for our taste. The dance floor needed to be bigger, but it would have been nice as a VIP if we would have gotten to sit on the nice cooshy couches.












Saturday night was when Robert and Liza came into town and we took them to eat at a cluster of restaurants that is located down a cute alleyway in SF...one of our favorite eating spots. It's very European and there are 6 restaurants of different styles all located down one block with lights strung between the buildings and plenty of outside tables for a romantic feel. After dinner we headed to a house party at our friend Stefan's. He has monthly themed house parties and they are always a blast. The theme of the night was color by numbers...wear your favorite color and/or number. His roommate is in a band and they even set up in the dining room area and played some music for us. Poor neighbors! :)

Scott and the boys playing around on Friday while poor me was at work all day! Nice glasses Bono! Nice Hooters Papu

















Some pics from the party at Stefan's - gotta love the Homer/Married with Children look that Papu and Robert pulled off on the couch. It was Scott's brilliant idea to get a mini-keg for the party, cuz it was cooler than carrying a bottle of wine I guess.
