Silicon Valley yelpers got groovy last night, as they descended on chic, modern themed and glamorously decorated La Fondue for an epic night of swoon-worthy wine, freshly muddled fruit cocktails, and sublime cheese and chocolate fondues. Guests came sporting wide legged bell-bottoms, voluminous 'fros, tie-dye tunics, big stunna shades, low-cut bright and bedazzled shirts and short hippie dresses. The Seven-tease were definitely in full swing!
Yelpers, like John-Michael C, excitedly headed inside La Fondue to bask in the wondrous aroma of "boiling cauldrons of chocolate and cheese" as well as the "smorgasbord of yelp personalities that people
have come to read, follow and love." Gathering around intimate tables with new and old yelpers, Van N said that, "Watching La Fondue's waiter was almost like watching art as he mixed the cheese
preparing it for us as we held our utensils like pitchforks ready to
dive in." Christine H and her hip hubby proceeded to zealously "try the cheese fondue with sundried tomatoes, swiss cheese fondue,
dark chocolate fondue, and white chocolate fondue," and found each to be spectacular.
While foxy mamas and cool cats mingled around La Fondue's cozy tables, yelper and photographer of the night Betty N satiated her tastebuds with 42 Below's "delicious cocktails of spicy cucumbers or fresh kiwi." Others, like Lien N indulged in Thomas Fogerty Winery's wine, gushing about their "Riesling which was really smooth and tasted
fantastic," while wine enthusiast Lorrie M conversed with Christopher from Ridge Winery about their famous stellar wines, as well as discussing the intricacies and differences between different wines.
The highlight of the night for many, was Action Flipbooks who wowed everybody with their amazing photo booth setup (check out the awesome video montage here and make sure to tag yourself on Facebook!), which captured the wonderful energy of the night, people's costumes, as well as a plethora of inspiring yelp couple moments of "true love." Mikey U headed up a "certifiable ridonkulousness: a 10 SBC'er strong conga line of Vicktizzle, JonK, JDo, Julie,
Serbelle, Jeff, Hazel, Badri, Bobby, & Dennise, while Michelle C – gushed at how wonderful it was to take home a personal photo flipbook, and kept "periodically flipping through her's the following day just to get a giggle," beaming
"SUCH a unique party favor!"
Peace, Love, and Yelpiness was in the air, as yelpers made their way home with full fondue stomachs, and Action Flipbook memories in their pockets. A huge thanks to owner Mitchell Cutler and the rest of La Fondue's exceptional staff for making the night such a glorious Seven-tease success!
