"PHO"NATICS!

Taking a break from wedding planning blogging, I thought I would update everyone on our latest project - founding the "PHO"NATICS, an organization of people "pho"natic (get it?) about Vietnamese pho. Yes, read on. :)

So, as it goes, Mark's life-long dream has been to start such an organization. As part of his Christmas present this year, I took him to My Trick Pony http://www.mytrickpony.com, a custom t-shirt company located in the Castro in SF, to help him bring his vision to life. Since my Illustrator skills are embarrassing, I knew I needed to solicit the help of professional graphic designers at My Trick Pony to help design our organization logo. After an hour plus of working together, she did an amazing job in bringing OUR vision of the PhoNATICS logo to life, complete with a bowl of pho in the name. Then, we got the t-shirt printed, with Mark as Phonatic "player" #1, nicknamed "Sriracha" and myself as #2 "Noodles", named after our favorite ingredients in pho. Check out my photos on Flickr for details.

During the holidays while we were in San Diego, we were taken to supposedly the best pho restaurant in San Diego. And we were NOT disappointed. While one could argue that being the best pho house in San Diego may not be the most impressive title in the grand scheme of things, let me tell you, the pho was pretty impressive. Again, check out my Flickr for details.

Mark and I are soliciting new members to PhoNATICs and planning on organizing pho outings here in San Francisco shortly. We are hoping to start m&a style pho restaurant reviews as well (more to come on that later). Let us know if you would like to join or if you would like to start your own chapter in the city you reside!
