Since we were going to go to the conference up in Boston, with its history of revolutionary
patriotism and tasty brewing, anyway, we figured we
had to have a party. You know, mix it up a little with the Natives,
supply some relaxation from the conferring, basically bring a little
Man Clam Chow to the New England Chowdah heads.
Unfortunately, Core had never been up there in Bean-town before,
so we consulted li'l sister Coroflot's good friend Continuum. Next thing we knew, we had some serious partay partners and a bash was on the
way. We even got some shweet shwag going, thanks to the extremely
good people from Ashlar-Vellum: as the party's door-prize lottery
sponsors they provided some niiice summery prizes and in more ways
than one...but more on that at the bottom
right. So, on the Fri-night of the IDSA weekend, we convened
on the Club Lily's up in Somerville and took care of some offsite,
non-conference representing. Here's the photo montage:
Core Jr. loads up the Core-mobile with the D. at the Harbor
Sam Adams: Brewer, Patriot, inspiration for
the D. Party. A Core-pal pumps it up!
The DJ gets his tracks on before the nervous/sound breakdown
D.J.s? We don't need no stinking D.J.s!
Oh, no, we got all kinds of people and drinking to do.
Make that bar work for it, that's right...
The
Lottery (what a great short story . . .)
All right, so here's the lowdown on the Ashlar-Vellum
sponsored lottery. As I said, those great people at Ashlar agreed
to buy some door prizes for the ol' drop a card, maybe win a prize
party deal. But check out these sweet prizes: not only did they
buy 'em, but it was their software those hotshot Continuum designers
used to create these actual products:
Tiitanium frame, Zeiss shades!
XO, King Cobra bike helmets!
Stainless Steel, Double burner, gas grill!
Don't miss the next Core gathering:
Core77's Offsite in NYC!
(It's
a soup metaphor, get it?)
