After two ridiculously hot days, the popular Art and Wine festival came to a close without any major incidents, besides schvitzing. Taking advantage of social networking, there was a lot of Tweeting and Facebook messaging going on this year to promote the annual fundraiser. "It was very successful - tons of people took BART and over 100 cyclists per day used the bicycle garage," said chief organizer and Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce Jay Lifson. He had a litany of compliments for the army of volunteers who made it all possible and the fabulous musical talent that graced the multiple stages over the weekend. "It was great to watch the City turn into a village overnight, and back to business as usual by Monday morning," said Lifson. C.Tyson
