Rosettas for Relief
Last night we went to Erin Meister’s smashingly successful Rosettas for Relief (hosted by the Amateur Gourmet), a latte art throwdown to benefit the recent victims in Malaysia and China. The event ended up raising $700! Go Meister!
It was a lot of fun, and there were tons of people there! It was kind of overwhelming. There were lots of people there I really like to see, so that was exciting. But what we really wanted to see were some of those lattes!
Anne competes while newly brunetted Katie towers overhead, and Brian Jackson pauses mid-latte for some refreshment
Did I mention there was free beer? We drank a lot of beer last night. Last night we learned that Bud Light tastes like freezer burn, it was very enlightening. This is Ally from Gimme showcasing her beer:
Anne’s working on a 270 degree (not temperature) latte, but this one here ended up winning
Dan Griffin wins! For winning, Dan received a $300 gift certificate for Eleven Madison Park, which he is going to use to take us out to dinner. Go Dan! Dan may have won, but look at Amber Sather, who is positively adorable in this picture:

Too bad I never got the invite. Hope something fun is going down June 28 – July 1… that’s when I’ll be down to get down!
