Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Last night I attended the annual Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at the Cracktory in the lovely Bayview district of San Francisco. It was a really cool “Alice In Wonderland” themed event (from the chapter of the book called “A Mad Tea Party”) and of course a great place to shot photos. It also served as a going away party for my good friend and amazing photographer, Jacob Appelbaum, who is moving to Toronto in a few days.

My jaw is aching, and my lip’s swollen from being chewed on (by me, I think). I’m sure I look sexy as hell.

What a weird and fun mix of party people and hackers that was! Great to see you there (briefly) Scott, I got lost on the way and arrived too late, would have liked to chat with you more. Next time.

Dear Nick, it wasn’t you that was chewing on your lip, at least from what I saw. :)

Ha!

I was searching for pictures of the Tax Day “tea party” protests just for laughs, when I ran across this!

Now this is a tea party I would go to!
