My office holiday party was this Friday night. It wasn’t until 7:30pm so I had Joe meet me for drinks and appetizers beforehand at Knee High Stocking Co. It is a modern day speakeasy. How it works is you text there number for a reservations and you hear back whether you’re in or not. We were a little late with traffic and parking on Capitol Hill, but still made it in the bar. You ring the doorbell and they check to make sure you are on the list.
A group of 4 had arrived just before us hoping to ring the doorbell and make it in, but no such luck for them. We told the hostess our name and we were escorted into the small bar. It was very intimate. Good start to a fun evening.
The Halloween party & many happy hours with co-workers has made it clear that GGLO likes to work hard and play hard. The Holiday Party is yet another testament to that. It was a ‘Call To The Wild’ theme. The venue was Fred Wildlife Refuge in Capitol Hill. It is a privately-run, collaborative 5,200 sf art center built in 1962. We were encouraged to wear ‘fur’ and animal prints. There was a photobooth set up with wildlife. I never knew how much people liked having photos taken of themselves.
There were bison burgers and cream tart things. A signature drink. Lemon drop shots for the ice sculpture moose luge.
Me & Joe. Do you see me or do I blend in too well?
Joe’s turn for a shot from the moose luge.

Joe refers to this principal now as Fred Flintstone.

GGLO sure knows how to party!
More photobooth moments.
Two of the falls of the evening. I believe there were at least 3. Someone even had to have an MRI after this party!
