The food was good. There were two passed apps options and 3 courses for dinner. There was also a nice non--alcoholic drink which I really appreciated.

The idea is that once you can see things from each other's points of view and start to unobjectify each other, it becomes easier (less agitated) to talk about the problem and to figure out a mutually beneficial solution in a collaborative way. Simple concept, but like many things, harder to realize. After observing the conflict resolution techniques in action a few times, it seems more doable each time as I understand the process better. I learned a lot from CB about conflict resolution techniques. Also how to be a better listener. Very useful as conflicts are part of life and handling them well can build relationships. CB also provides training to schools, and to people interested in learning mediation. More information about this on CB's web site. Low-cost mediation by professionals is also available.

My network of nonprofits/community-based-organizations was blacklisted from receiving donations, because of a minor issue with the building maintenance staff. This came after 2+ years of having a very cordial and open working relationship with them, and I was always listed as an emergency backup if staff wasn't on-site. The founder (Mary Risley) is no longer acting in the best interest of the company, and should step down. The dispatch manager (Tessa) is two-faced and unprofessional. Do not do business with this company.

Intersection's recent move, from Valencia Street to downtown's Chronicle building, finds them…read morebecoming "Intersection 5M", a collaboration of groups in nearby spaces, all working to create social change. Or something like that. I recently attended the new Intersection for the culmination of a storytelling class where each student was showcased on stage for their 10 minutes of fame. Lots of fun for both the students and the audience in this comfortably informal environment. Intersection feels like the red-headed stepchild of "Yerba Buena Center for the Arts" and "The Marsh". Their programming is YBCA-lite, offering simlar artsy fare on a smaller scale and budget. They move into Marsh territory by sprinkling in a few classes and providing a venue that still gives you no reason to dress up for your big night out. I've enjoyed the events I've attended at Intersection but, like YBCA, I infrequently find anything amongst their programming that compels me to attend. Lucky for them, that doesn't seem to matter. They've been around for more than 40 years now, even weathering the recent economic woes which laid to rest many other well-established arts organizations. If there's an offering that appeals, keep 'em around for another 40+, and go check out Intersection.

There were some amazing deals on art by folks like Matt Gonzalez and Andrew Shoultz, and Intersection doesn't attract a huge bidding crowd, so it's the place to be once a year. It turns my friend is a compulsive bidder, as in, I need to send him to Bidders Anonymous. I may not though, just because it was so much fun following someone around who will throw down a few hundos for cool pieces. The live auction part was my fave -- he almost got a piece by Binh Danh for a steal! I've only been to Intersection for the Arts a couple of times, but the place has a distinct chill vibe with absolutely no pretension. They seem to be really devoted to addressing the issues of their neighborhood too. I went to see a play there through their Prison Project, and while not amazing, it was admirable. With a black box theater and a gallery space upstairs, rotating plays and art shows, it's a place I'll return to again, fo shizzle.

Let me tell you, this man is a walking encyclopedia of photography! And all other things too, turns out. Let's just say he knows what he's doing! Detail oriented doesn't even cover it, he will notice things you never would and quietly make it all better without making a big deal out of it. What surprised me most was how natural and comfortable the whole thing felt. It was quick, easy, and I genuinely forgot I was being photographed at some point, which I think is the highest compliment you can pay a photographer. Eddie is also just a great person to talk to. 10/10. Would let Eddie photograph my face again without hesitation.

Overall, it was a great experience and we now have a beautiful piano!

Happy to report you, that the venue is fully accessible. Inside are many updates & building seems well-maintained. We were escorted in to a formal room on second floor, w/round tables & Fall decorations. The doors to the Green Room were open, letting the sunshine in. Bright room with floor to ceiling windows & curtains. Seated & served 150 guests from 2-3:30pm and second seating later (4:30-6pm. Again with another 150 guests ;-) We sat closest to the window. What a view looking out the floor to ceiling windows. The autumnal feast was catered from Mollie Stone's. The full Thanksgiving meal was turkey w/all the fixings, and a nice helping of pumpkin pie to finish! Delicious food! We enjoyed visiting & meeting friends at the table. Can we talk? Oh yes, we talked a lot and spoke of gratitude & love. Lovely, lovely Feast! We thank Open House, Visa, Google, Gielead and rest of sponsors, whose names escape me (Sorry!) Thank you all to; the catering, service staff, set up crews & outside volunteers - You made everyone happy.
