Even before Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House, the GOP attempted to scare the public about "San Francisco values". Of course, no one ever defined what those were, but the coded message was effectively satirized by Saturday Night Live.

As someone that appreciates a prime steak, good wine, small-batch bourbon, golf, cigars, and all of the things that Speaker Pelosi mentions in the SNL skit, I've always wondered if it would be so bad if my values spread across the entire country. At the very least, it'd be good for business.  

Alas, we'll let you decide. Recently, San Francisco Magazine threw a party at our warehouse/showroom for their twice-yearly supplement, the Men's Book. Over 300 guests attended. Men and women. Straight and gay. Republican and Democrat.

California Grill & Rotisserie served up the meat for the night. The drinks for the evening were provided by Don Julio Tequila. While the margaritas were powered by Don Julio Blanco, the company's main "Tequila Ambassador" was flown out from New York to pour some 1492 for those that took the time in the cigar lounge to learn about the company's heritage. 

And as is customary for our parties now, a portion of the proceeds from the evening's shopping was donated to City of Dreams, a local non-profit focused on mentoring disadvantaged youth.

If you have absolutely have nothing better to do this morning, you can relive the party, and scroll through all the photos here. Palomino!
