Last night I had the pleasure of leading a social media session with some members of the  Engage Her team.  Engage Her is a national organization dedicated to educating and activating multicultural women and their communities about the most important issues they care about.  I’m very excited that Engage Her will be partnering with SavantMD in the very near future.

Engage is getting ready to kick off a very exciting video campaign and I was lucky enough to share some thoughts about social media, communities and conversations.  Mable Yee, (the driving force behind Engage Her) was in attendance  along with team members Briana , Meenakshi and Tameeka.  We were fortunate that Sylvia Paull, and Engage Her board member Susan Mostajo were also able to join us.

We discussed strategies, tactics, and tools to help Engage Her execute successfully on their upcoming video campaign.   They’e already got the pieces in place for a great campaign so I can’t wait for the rollout.

Side note to Mable, I rocked this post using Posterous, Twitter, Facebook and just for kicks  …  I tossed in a bit.ly link to SavantMD’s health tip here.

Having a picnic at Fort Mason

Had dinner Michael Mina’s new place RN74 Friday evening. I’ve already dined at his flagship “Michael Mina” and decided to mix things up.  RN74 is on the ground floor of the Millenium Tower in SOMA.

The food was unsurprisingly delicious.  The preparation was absolutely flawless, Friday’s selections consisted of  the following:

• soft-shell crab with lemon and ginger
• sauteed pork bellies and manila clams with spring garlic and paprika
• wild Alaskan halibut with black truffles, sunchokes, peas and a whole lot of carrots
• duck “cassoulet”

The meal was topped off with a couple of delectable desserts:

• Kumquat Confiture with coriander sponge cake, yogurt and white verjus sorbet
• Warm beignets with mascarpone, blueberry, lemon thymey and Ras al Hanout sorbet

The menu is simple and , so I would definetly make sure that everyone in your party was happy with the possible selections before making a reservation.

The room, successfully invoking the feeling of railroad era gone by  was nice, not particularly cramped and nice high ceilings.

The place was also a bit loud, but that could be the result of dining on a Friday night.  The bar area is a  least the size of the restaurant and at one point the line for the bathrooms (coed) was baffling long.  Perhaps someone (or some two) was trying to recreate the bathroom experience at The Box in NYC.

Very interesting meal for an anniversary.
