Lots of people turned out for the Crush event. We raised $690 for the Food Bank and the balloon pop for charity was a success. Some of the giveaways were great, Elixir gave $150 for dinner for two, the Keg gave $100 for dinner, various others such as the Pacific Crab Co. and Relish also gave out gift certificates. 54 balloons were sold in total in the course of the evening. The balloon pop, where the ROI was significant also allowed me to gauge the person I was speaking to as well. Mostly the people who were open to the pop, ‘got it’, had a positive attitude, were open to new things – people that I was more likely to invite out to our events in the future. Pictures from this event are up in the Urban Mixer photos section. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time retouching red eyes.

On another note, tonight is the Social Empire event at Mo’ Butta. I’m really looking forward to it as the turnout should be better than last year’s event. Let’s see!
