Yesterday, on Saturday June 16th, we had our first big Meet & Greet event in the lobby of our newspaper headquarters. We had been preparing this event/party for a couple of weeks and we were overwhelmed by the number of people attending and the warm feeling it brought to our hearts. It was truly an honor to welcome all those who found the time to drop in. We consider the party to be a big success and are already (in the back of our heads) thinking about the next one !!!
The main purpose of the Meet & Greet was served. It was a chance for our readers to meet and greet us, but on top of that it was also a chance to see our HQ that most of us see as our 2nd home (and some of us even first home). But ... on top of that, we also intended the party as a chance to talk to our readers and lower the threshhold to open communications and get feedback.
The party went smoothly, although there was some lag. The sim came close to crashing at one point and sometimes people had a hard time getting in ...
The party lasted for several hours and DJ Tangletwigs Fairymeadow rocked the place. The sploder went haywire and made several people very happy. And not only that .. during the party we held a lottery, combined with a small survey. Anyone submitting a survey form was joining in and the prize was L$ 5000. Today we drew the winner and paid out. Congratulations again Selina !!!
We are already thinking about organizing these Meet & Greet parties more often, to give you an opportunity to get involved, and for us a chance to meet our readers and get that valuable feedback. To give you an impression this great event though, here are some photos ...
At the end of the party, we went to the rooftop to have a little fun with our mascotte, Jiggy the Pink Elephant. We fed him some leftovers and before we knew it, he was juggling us like it was nothing ...
