7b7n History 101

Back in '07 (when 7b7n was immaculately conceived) we were sadly blogless. Here are some artifacts from that year that should both titillate newcomers and moisten the eyes of old-timers in misty remembrance...

Day 1 (Zeitgeist)

Great turnout today! Hopefully we will all get to reunite tomorrow night for round 2.... :)

Day 2 (Trad'r Sam)

Nicely done everyone! Hope you all slept off the scorpion bowls. Here are some photos from last night -

Looking forward to a mellower celebration at Yield Wine Bar tonight!

Good job making it to 7b7n Hump Day!! Tonight at 8:30 is revolution cafe... I'm told there will be music. Let's hope the heat wave holds into the night.

Day 4 (Revolution)

Another night, another round of pics. Sorry so many have me in them.. I swear I'm not that narcissistic!!
I don't know about you guys but I loved Revolution! I think we need to go back there before too long.

If anyone wants off this email list, please let me know... it's looking like we should have started a blog for this thing! Also it's been cool how people have been brainstorming other themed social concept events... although I don't think anyone is yet on board with my 7 Psychedelic Trips, 7 Nights idea...

Tonight should be a fun one - Bourbon & Branch! We've got a lot of interest in this one so it should be a short, sweet hour of fun. Don't forget to don your bracelets...

Day 5 (Bourbon & Branch)

Friday is here, and not a moment too soon... we have all had a taxing week of extended high-impact socializing. Great to see you all again last night, though we shall of course "speak easy" regarding the alleged events. The walls have ears...

What better way to wrap up the week than by unwinding at Kennedy's and playing some foosball and air hockey? Janet has claimed that she'll mop the floor with me at air hockey, but we all know better. I've been doing visualization exercises all week and am prepped for victory.

Day 6 (Kennedy's)

Friends... we are in the home stretch. Last night at Kennedy's was a fine addition to the series. We were graced by some new faces and some old stalwarts, but through everyone coursed the palpable dedication that is the magic stuff of 7 Bars in 7 Nights. Well done. For those of you that didn't make it, I think the pictures can speak for themselves:

We hope to see as many of you as possible tonight at the grand finale. I don't know much about Etiquette Lounge, but their website starts with a William Blake quote so I'm anticipating something fantastic.

Day 7 (Etiquette)

Seven hand-picked bars... Seven consecutive nights! We've done what we set out to do, and not a moment too soon. Things were beginning to get downright ridiculous at night 7 at Etiquette, so it's probably best that for now there is no night #8:

Before we go any further, it must be acknowledged that Roy "Punctual" Kimura gets enormous props for being the only non-organizer to attend all seven nights!!! If you happen to see Roy, please give him a pat on the back (and a wink for picking up that cute, single dental student).

On behalf of all of us here at 7b7n headquarters, thanks for making this such a great time! The requests have been mounting to make this an annual 7b7n event! I can't think of a better way to kick off summer each year.

Signing off,
