Yelpy New Year
Posted by Robert on Friday, January 11th, 2008Techno sounds, cramped corners, ambient light, and a trendy crowd of talkers came together two nights ago at the Yelp ‘08 event at Arlington’s Eleventh Street Lounge. GlobalGivers Alison, Dana, and I made an appearance in support of the community Yelp has built here in DC. Yelpers are tastemakers and influencers who are very vocal both on and offline; they visit, rate, and review everything from restaurants, to public services, to mass media. At the event they offered a high-tech photo booth (Digital SLR + live printing), and delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.
We were dazzled by the high energy of party-planner Miriam (pictured below), and wanted to say thanks to Yelp for the fun evening!

You forgot to mention the best part– GlobalGiving gift cards in the Yelpy goody bags! Well ok, the cupcakes AND the gift cards maybe tied for first.
