German Consulate Reception at RSA March 3, 2010
San Francisco, California
Prior Years Partygoers Comments:
The reception at the German Consulate is a perenial favorite of your RSA Parties reporters. We like the salmon canapés. The beer/wine selections are not quite what they used to be a few years ago, but the food in 2009 was good. We cross our fingers that the salmon canapés will be back this year.
And, yes, there *will* be a pianist this year playing light classical music while you sip on your wine, snack on the canapés, and mingle with the dignitaries.
Crowd:
Tall German guys in Hugo Boss suits. The German Consul General and some of his staff. Boothwear will make you stand out like a sore thumb.
Venue:
Historic Pacific Heights 3-winged mansion. Formal ballroom with Bechstein grand piano. Wood panneled walls. Panorama window overlooking the Golden Gate. Need we say more?
Invite:

Reflections from 2009: It is important to have an invite for this party, or have someone with you who can talk your way past security. This is a pretty low-key party but it is pretty cool to say you were at the German Consulate. The beer of course was great. Beware - the Consulate is well outside any commercial zone so while getting there by cab is easy, getting back is something completely different. The only way to get a cab back will be to call one or hope that someone is arriving by cab when you want to leave.
