We hosted an event for AIGA’s Meet & Potatoes.
About 60 people showed, and it as a lot of fun! Huge thanks to Red Bull, PBR and everyone that came out.
We made nametags (this is the “Meet” part. Get it? Get it? Eh?)
And this is the “Potatoes” part! Yum!
So first, we drove to the grocery store to get some potatoes.
We made it a family affair!
After that, we went to Eddie’s house to pick up a Wii. (check out his lion statues on his porch!)
We also got a Wii and controllers from Donovan Beery and Tom Nemitz.
Then we picked up the video projector from Jeff Hug.
And people started showing up. Here’s Andy, Dusty and Zach!
Mark Chickinelli and his son came!
Jeff Slobotski from United Way and Packs of Promise filming Jeff Milewski (New Aroma’s Coffee owner). Check out the video.

Amazing illustrator, Greg Paprocki and AIGA President, Tanya Patry.
TCC Students (I used to skate with a couple of those guys).
I thought these were funny. In the second photo, Adam is on his knees.
Tom Nemitz and Donovan Beery. Thanks for the Wii!
We hooked up the Wii to a projector.
Leanne beating Ryan in a game of bowling.
Jeff Boynton from BBB, LTD came by and so did Conchance.
We walked over to Slowdown afterwards to watch Cody’s band, Honeybee play.
It was a fun night. Thank to everyone that made it happen!

What a grand time—I’m hoping we can think of some more reasons to have another party there!
