Evan's mother Marilyn Klepec and his wife Anna planned the party at law partner Steve Green's Craighead Green Gallery.%26nbsp; We had a great bar - from ginger orange vodka martini's%26nbsp;(check out the recipe%26nbsp;here) to boutique favorites. Evan's bar was busy!

The food was passed nibbles of blue cheese, beef %26amp; sweet and spicy bacon sliders, tomato basil soup shots with tiny grilled cheese sandwiches and the Fogelman favorite, deviled eggs and caviar. The tapas buffet included basil shrimp, seared teriyaki beef tenderloin, proscuiutto wrapped melon, and caesar salad wraps. And Mom brought the cake!

I loved the collage of photo's from Evan's life they hung on the gallery wall.%26nbsp;
