79. Le Bec Fin in Philly, the day after a massive election victory in 2006

Mon Nov 5, 2012, 04:42 PM

Nov 2012

I was working for a State Rep's race outside of Philly and we won with 76% of the vote and swept every precinct and then got to watch the Dems take Congress.

The next day, the volunteer who allowed me to live at her house during the campaign took the whole staff out to dinner at a posh 5 star restaurant in downtown Philly. Four course meal and two of the courses were Escargot and Quail.
