Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Gavin Newsom Inauguration Party - deYoung Museum
Once every four years San Franciscans have an opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the inauguration of a new mayor.

Over the years I have attended a number of such events and they are always special and important to me. It is a time to see old acquaintances, meet the rising stars in San Francisco politics and celebrate the commonality we all have of being dedicated San Franciscans. Is is an event I look forward to with enthusiasm.
Last night the core community of San Francisco came together at the deYoung Museum to celebrate Gavin Newsom's second inauguration. It was the hottest ticket in town and the place to be.
Thank you to the Newsom Inauguration Committee for a very well accomplished task and congratulations to the Mayor and his bride-to-be, Jennifer Siebel who was the star of the evening, particularly with her 3-carat, $100,000 Tiffany engagement ring.
It was a wonderful way to begin a promising New Year!
