The kind bartender at 111 Minna threw open the big red door and gave us media folk refuge on a foggy late summer night. Though the skies outside were gray, the mood inside was lively, with filmmakers discussing screenplays and lifestyle reporters trading news about nightspots. We even had some guests from as far away as Ohio--thanks for coming!

Whether you're based here or just visiting, stop be sure to stop by our next event for drinks and camaraderie, at Jade on October 11.
