On October 13th, 2008, William Werner (polite/persuasion), Aaron Terry (urbanyetti) and myself joined forces with Coffee Bar to offer San Francisco a night of inventive, seasonal and modern dessert accompanied by audio and visual stimulation. Vs. was featured in both 7×7 magazine and on tablehopper.com.
