February Office Hours @ The Island Frozen Yogurt

I don’t know what else to say other than Aimee did it again. It is always fun whenever she puts on an event. #1 Unilocal CM!

I love Office Hours with Unilocal!I wish we could have them weekly instead of monthly… is that possible Aimee!!!
Of course since The Island is just a few blocks away I had no reason not to attend and meet up with other Unilocalers. It was also really great to get to hang out with our new intern Aaron-he’s amazing and I look forward to seeing him out at more events this year!
I wish I could have stayed longer to mingle with everyone, but from what I can tell there were a ton of great Unilocalers there! I know I met a few newbies and of course some of the regulars were around as well. Our community is really great and I hope some of our new Unilocalers can make it out to more events!
Of course the best treat was getting my first cup of FroYo paid for-​thanks Aimee! I was so thankful for the pink cupcake and M&M’s! They really do go so well together.
Cherie O. thanks for the street hug! I’m glad we didn’t get run over! Oh, and thanks for the tip about the purse hooks! I had no idea those existed and I have been to the Island many many times! I’ll have to go again soon just to utilize the hook!
Thanks to Aimee for another great Office Hours event and I can’t wait for next month’s! See you all there!

My girlfriend and I strolled down the street to attend this event, because we had heard about it and wanted to learn a little more about how to be more active in the Unilocal community. We thought that this event which offered free Fro Yo was the perfect opportunity and we were right! We walked in to a small group of Unilocal members sitting around in casual conversation before we were quickly greeted by Aimee and a few others. We were urged to sample some flavors and get a cup! After we tried a few and got our cups filled Aimee and a few others approached us with some «get to know you» conversation. We were able to learn a lot about her and the group as well as how to get more involved in the Unilocal community.
Aimee and the rest were very polite, welcoming, and the Fro Yo was excellent as expected. I left encouraged and excited to start making some reviews so that I can hopefully reach that Elite status. Through using Unilocal more, I’ve realized that I need to visit many more of my neighborhood (Soulard) locations that I’ve yet to experience in my 1.5 years of residence. I have gone ahead and bookmarked a bunch that I want to try after reading some rave reviews of places I hadn’t paid attention to.
Thanks Unilocal!Can’t wait for the next event!

Always great to see everybody, and, plus side, I’d never been to The Island.
The yogurt: Yeah. Pink cupcake definitely met my sugar needs, and was everything a pink cupcake should be: sugary! And a little bit of Madagascar Vanilla to even out the edge. I don’t know where to get those chocolate rock toppings, and I probably shouldn’t find out until I master my workout regimen.
And the conversation: well, with Mardi Gras this weekend, I got the deets on how not to be a newb, and, I got a why not to click on mysterious desktop applications called porn. exe virus tutorial.
Sufficiently educated and a sugar high — that’s all you need from life.

Yogurt for me consisted of a mix of orange dreamsicle and pink cupcake with generous toppings of cookie dough, Reese’s pieces, Oreos, pie crust, and whipped cream; I don’t want to know how many calories I consumed tonight.
Aimee and Aaron were on hand to answer any and all questions about Unilocal.
Aimee’s coat was also to die for; don’t tell me you didn’t notice it.
Everyone was engaging in conversation, and I got to meet several people I haven’t before: Sasha, Rachael, Katherine, and Enobong; I also met Cindy and Tom, but I didn’t know their names at the time.
Parking on Russell was easy, given that it’s not Cardinal season yet and that it was a weeknight; I think Mandie and I also did a first ever in-the-middle-of-the-street-hug…so someone needs to notify the Guinness Book.
Office hours are always very random and this one proved to be no exception with discussion from Hello Dolly! to Mardi Gras to Atlanta, IL.
But to increase the randomness, did you know that if you sit at the bar at The Island, there are purse hooks underneath the bar to hang your purse?
And if you haven’t been to Office Hours yet, what are you waiting for? See you next month!

What could be more nonthreatening than office hours at a frozen dessert place? I was at a meeting nearby that ended at 6 pm, and stopped in for conversation and a cup of blueberries and raspberries over Madagascar vanilla. I met new Unilocal-​tern Aaron B., sat next to Mandie M., met Sasha D. and Rachel and Katherine B. and Enobong U., got a travel update from Cherie O., bakery tips from listening to Steven B. and Aimee K., and a tutorial in Windows XP vulnerabilities and interesting computer viruses from Stephen W. And more. Good conversation and good frozen vanilla fresh berry stuff. Thanks, Aimee K.

FroYo, old Unilocal friends and new Unilocal friends can it get any better? The Island was the perfect place for February Office Hours, the small compact space made it so easy for everyone to chat each other up.
One of the advantages of The Island is its size. It may not offer as many flavors as some of the chain FroYo places, but the eight flavors they do offer at a given time are always spot on. When I see Orange Dream and Vanilla next to each other so they can be swirled together, I know which machine will be dispensing my frozen treat.
For those who have not attended a Office Hours event, be sure to stop by at the next one. It is a great way to meet fellow Unilocalers you’ve been following and complimenting. If you are new to Unilocaling it is a great way to get more involved. Aimee, even makes these small events fun.
