Prom Night Recap

It was a fun and eventual night! Our WEMBA Class 32 "prom night" was held last Sat evening at a restaurant called Circulo in the Mission district of San Francisco. The class got $10K to blow on a party / night out for the venue of our choice, and we sure partied the night away. There was a real prom photographer and everyone got a 5X7 photo of themselves and their date. Depending on who you asked, the recommended dress code was either casual (Lorenesque jeans and a nice shirt) or sophisticated evening wear (Nichole-esque short evening dress). I split the difference myself, as I must say Loren did as well. There were a bunch of small plates and appetizers, which was perfect for the type of event we had.

Congrats to the following class award winners:
Eve = MVP, class member you'd most want to have on your team (tied with Robert Yi)
Jonathan = MIA award
Kevin = Most likely to sell his grandmother for $50
Clay = Drunken Warriors fan award
Charles = Racing cars award
Adam = Biggest bootie award
Sam = angriest dude award
I can't remember the rest....:)

There were a ton of pictures taken as well. Here are some that people have shared:

Apparently, there was a bit of drama at the end with the paramedics being called; glad there was no serious health issues. I hear we went through the $5K open bar pretty quickly, and that there were many inebriated WEMBA students staggering around into cabs at the end. Michelle was apparently one of the caretakers as was Frank "the cabbie".

The aftermath? Lots of emails afterwards from folks asking for missing awards/items (Sir KFC, Eve, Gagan, ....). Hope everyone found what they lost, although I suspect that they didn't.

And finally, muchos gracias to Nichole "class awards queen", Loren "resident foodie", Sean "too drunk to tell us about the class gift", and Clifton "class gifts man".
