We gathered to celebrate vicki's first visit to San Francisco by meeting at Martuni's Piano Bar last night. You may know vicki as a regular denizen of the deep Cheers & Jeers end of the pool but I think her claim to fame is her low UID: 1604. Wow. Poor vicki has a hard life in general, for example she had to fly to San Francisco to take a tour of the Wine Country for work. She took an evening off from being wined and dined by the local wineries to spend an evening with us.
Below the fold are 11 large photos and 3 embedded videos of the evening and warn the pooties and woozles because...
From right to left; here is Kimoconnor, (who leaves soon for Kabul) Paul Hogarth and FogCityJohn scooping up seats at the piano bar to wait for vicki and her entourage.

vicki arrives!

vicki starts off with Old Friend and while singing she has to quiet some rude loud talkers and the piano player gets a little too controlling, vicki cracks us all up as she tries to get back to singing after so many interruptions. Enjoy! (Vid is 5:25 mins.)
