Charlotte Elite Launch Event @ Customshop

Before writing a review, I had to let this one sink in… because it was that fabulous!
The location at Customshop was terrific! Plenty of seating to take a load off, great standing room to chat awhile, and definitely nice patio tables to catch a breeze.
I had a great time seeing familiar Unilocal faces and meeting new people! It was great to see the Unilocal community live! Thanks, Nicole and Unilocal for making this happen and bringing us all together.
Thanks to the hosts, distributers, and everyone who showed up! Good times and great memories. By the way, I love my lunchbox… and I extra loved being a winner of one of the prize drawings! Let’s do this again soon!

The first elite event in the QC…
I don’t even really like beer and I had several. There wasn’t supposed to be much food and I stuffed myself like crazy (like that is a surprise). You did have to be positioned right, though — too far away from the kitchen and you would get bupkis. The food was so good it often didn’t make it to the far end of the room (you know what I’m saying, Tiffany!). There were even vegetarian options coming out for those that like that sort of thing. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Big thanks not only to Customshop, Olde Mecklenburg Brewery and the other vendors for putting on a great event, but to our very own Nicole W. for organizing it and for Kevin N. for dutifully checking everyone in (and handing out the lunchboxes, even though he did give mine to my wife)!
Tonya, mad props (as always) on your photog skills. Those who haven’t seen them, check out her pics here and on Facebook. If you have some, add them — I threw in a couple, though Tonya’s are much better, to be sure.
I’d try and recognize everyone for showing up, but I’d miss a bunch of people from Unilocal I know, to say nothing of those I don’t, and I’d have no chance at the people I didn’t even meet — I’m sure there were plenty (sorry).
Looking forward to the next one!
