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!
