Yelpin' in Bollyhood

Things were hopping at Bollyhood Cafe as yelpers showed up in full force for the first SF Yelp Elite Event of 2008. The intimate turnout of 250 newbie and veteran Yelp Elite gathered to celebrate the soft opening of the newest restaurant from the folks behind Baobab and Little Baobab.

Throughout the evening baby samosas, lamb kabob and other bites were passed around while the Red Stripe girls handed out hordes of Red Stripe to thirsty yelpers like Suzanne A and Veronica D. Non-beer drinkers enjoyed Bollyhood's own special sweet sangria.

As if the food and drinks weren't enough to keep yelpers amused than, there was also the Bhangra-inspired entertainment:  Bollywood movies played in the background while the DJ/co-owner Giamma C spun belly-shaking beats that had yelpers "double-parking on the dance floor." The event was so hot that Seong P's glasses fogged up as soon as she walked into the party.  This can only mean good things to come in '08.

NPR radio station KQED covered the event and interviewed a handful of yelpers including Stephanie W and Don H. As always the night was digitally captured by yelpers cum photographers Mitch A and Jason K.  At the end of the night, everyone left anxiously awaiting the grand opening of Bollyhood.
