Rockin’ in the Bay Area for YKOS (SanFran) w/ PICs!!

A continuation of  NYBri’s diary about our YearlyKos fundraiser held last night at ROE in San Francisco.

What a success, what a turnout, I’m hoarse, exhausted but very satisfied with our evening.  I met so many new folk, hugged all my old friends.  I took a lot of photos but still managed to miss some key shots.  Hopefully someone else captured those I missed like CaliScribe.  I saw her for 2 seconds and then lost her.  I missed taking a photo of SusanG,  BentLiberal, plus a bunch of others.  So please post your photos below.

A huge thrill for me was to meet Jotter!  I had no idea that was a possibility.  I got his photo.

Kudos to NYBri for flying out from the East Coast and Shockwave for speeding up from LA in his car.  Excellent supporters!

Please help Gina & Raven put on another GREAT event in Chicago by donating here.
