Elite Event: Suited for Saturday @ Cafe Terminus

Suit Up!
What can I say about another excellent YEE? With a selections of tasty appetizers, such as beef on toast, to what seemed like an endless supply of drinks, such as the honey whiskey rye cocktail, Suited for Saturday @ Café Terminus was legend (wait for it) dary.
I brought my friend Adam to this event. This was his first YEE, and was amazed by it all — the venue, drinks, and the people. This event reminded me how lucky I am to be part of such a passionate group of well-​dressed people.
Café Terminus is an intimate space in walking distance to the Embarcadero BART. I walked past it every morning on my way to work not knowing the treasure it held inside. Modern and modest décor with a great selection of morsels that will have any person feeling all warm and fuzzy.
It was fate that Jon’s last YEE would be at Café Terminus. It was clear that this was the farewell he deserved: intimate, classy, and simple. Thanks for being a great SF CM, Jon! This isn’t the end, it’s the beginning.

I was denied from many of elite events in San Francisco for 2014.
But I have attended a couple of Jon’s parties since he has arrived to San Francisco.
On the other hand, this is Jon’s last elite event in San Francisco. The recent elite event was a formal gathering.
By coincidence, I was around the Embarcadero area and did made a short visit in my Peanuts’ pajamas and wished the CM a farewell speech and a «bro-​hug».
“Good luck and the entire Bay Area wish you the best, Jon!”

Not sure how to feel about this event. On one hand it was enjoyable and I met some cool peoples such as Casey and Lena. Conversely, it was really sad to see Jon go in search of new adventures up North. I guess you could say it was like stumbling upon all that baking chocolate in the cupboard as a child (read: bitter-​sweet).
The event itself was memorable. Terminus provided a great venue including very attentive bartenders. The apps were on point, as well. That pulled pork crostini thingamabob was probably the most memorable.
Good luck with everything, Jon. Keep warm up there!

I’m so happy that my +1 and I got to come to this YEE to say goodbye to Jon! He’s been such an amazing leader, and it was our pleasure to come honor him by donning our finest and throwing down a honey rye cocktail.
I’d never been to café terminus before, but it was such a nice place inside. They clearly know their cocktails here, because the house cocktails that night were amazing, and even though they were making them en masse, they didn’t slack on any of the details like the lemon zest. There were plates of bite sized foods which were super tasty as well.
We met some wonderful other Unilocalers to boot!

Glad this was a low-​key event considering Jon was leaving us. Glad to see some familiar and a lot of new faces. Even a couple of SBay Unilocalers, yes. This was really nice for an intimate YEE.
I’ve heard of CT but didn’t realize it was so conveniently located, nor it closes late. Perfect for the Unilocal lifestyle! I see myself stopping by here late nights (for FiDi) a lot more often than expected. Thanks Jon on the parting Useful and Cool venue suggestion.
Best of luck from here on out Jon. See you next time, in Manhattan again?

An intimate affair at Terminus, the event invitation called for elites to suit up, and suit up we did. Y’all looked so dapper! There were drinks. There were bites. There were selfies. Jon A, you will be missed in San Francisco, but we look forward to hearing about your adventures up in Toronto!

A sad farewell to Jon.
This like all other events hosted by Jon, was a success. There was a large turnout. A minor hiccup was the photo situation, but we all have smart phones right?
There were 2 house cocktails being made that night. One with a passion fruit rye? and another with gin and lemon. There was also Pennywise Wine, which was actually quite good!
There were bite sized foods that came out on large platters. There were a bunch of little goodies, as usual.
Great event for seeing old Unilocal friends, and great event for meeting new ones! Thanks again Jon. Wishing you the best in Canada.

Terminus: in Latin, the god who protects the boundary markers. In Isacc Asimov’s «Foundation» series, the name of a planet whose survival holds the key to reconstructing civilization. In Unilocal events, the end of the tenure of Jon A, who has come to the limit (definition 2, OED) of his tenure as Community Manager of San Francisco, at the tīrain (a shore, an edge. Sanskrit) of the California Cable Car line.
Regardless of the quality of the event, the fact that it took place on the California Street Cable Car line automatically gave it five stars in my mind (anyone who came early probably heard me screaming [in Archer-​like fashion] «CABLE CAR! WOOOOOOO!»), but the drinks, food and company were beyond compare. I met some fantastic people (Hi Aren!) and reconnected with some old friends (Hi Lena!), all who came together to celebrate Jon’s departure to Toronto. The event was intimate, everyone was friendly, and it was the perfect going-​away party for a man who has been one of my favorite writers on Unilocal,an excellent community manager, and (dare I say it?) one of my friends.
Overall: Five Stars. What more can I say?

As we bid adieu to Jon A., it was a bittersweet night for SF Elites and all those who had the pleasure of meeting him. Unforgettable memories were made in two years (time flies), and we will remain friends forever — thanks to Unilocal!
Terminus is a great venue to have such a wonderful finale and send off for yet another talented SF Captain — great choice Jon! The bites were delightful and drinks were strong. The bartenders were stellar at making immeasurable drinks. Everyone looked marvelous on this sensational evening in SF; hope we made you proud Jon. We wish you the best of luck and Congratulations! Please visit the City by the Bay sooner than later ~ Bön Voyage!
Thank you Terminus for hosting a fabulous YEE, and thank you Jon A., Jessica T. Jelena Z., and Jon S. for inviting us lucky Yeeps to say goodbye in person. Additionally, thank you so much for all the fond memories with many more to come!
P. S. Jon, I will never forget the rootbeer mojito you made me at Solstice when you played barkeep to benefit the Henry Miller Library — HA, good times =)

What a nice send off for Jon A. What better place to celebrate than at café terminus. According to webster, terminus means the end of something the end of something. Too bad it was the end of a great run for Jon A. Good food and drinks, what else would you expect. Thanks for the good times, you’ll be missed.
