On Saturday morning, I had the great fun of joining a fabulous group of Phoenix people for brunch. Well, technically, they call it “smuch,” a portmanteau created from brunch+Saturday morning. The event is always as much fun as the name, and that’s saying something.

This month, we were at Fez, a fabulous Moroccan restaurant on Central Avenue just south of Indian School. Some people arrived by light rail. I came by car, schlepping in from the east ‘burbs. When I arrived, there were 10 people there, and at the full throttle, there were more than 30 people eating, laughing, talking, and taking pictures of each other. And more pictures.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to attend a Smunch. It was great getting to see so many friends in one place, meet new people, and talk while sipping a Mimosa.

Smunch is a really fun young crowd filled with interesting people. If you find you have the second Saturday brunch open some month, you should stop by and join us.

Smunch is a social media event, so you’ll have to follow Smunchy Smunchperson on Twitter to get the latest invite (handled through Tweetvite). Or you can keep you eye on the Smunch website.
