And speaking of Cosmos, we enjoyed one before the Shakedown over at the new Meiji restaurant in the neighborhood (right next to Blackbird). YUM! The bartender made the best lemon twist I’ve ever seen…

Isn’t the Catalyst Ranch a great venue. My friend wouldn’t leave that night until after we got details about booking the space for an office party.
Thanks for the photo journey.
