As you’ve already heard, myJambi threw a party a little while ago, and while we don’t like tooting our own horn too much, we think the event was pretty fun. Thanks to the crowd that turned out despite the ugly NYC autumn weather. The invite-only shindig took place in a fabulous Union Square loft. A shout-out to Kelly K. and Janine D., the owners, is in order here. They were fabulous to work with and endured our many recurring pre-event visits to ideate, envision, measure, allocate, … -- thanks!
I just received the party photos from our event photographer, Sarah B., who did a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the evening. The event truly showcased what myJambi is all about – what’s gotten us excited and thrilled to work here for the last two years, and what still gets us up every morning.
A number of incredibly talented, friendly and professional service providers showed off their skills in a variety of different workshops that were offered throughout the evening. We made funky jewelry with Galina K. and learned how to knit mittens with Loretta M., just in time for winter.
Marianne L. and Samuel A. co-taught us how to stay out of trouble in Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Adrienne O’Keefe, yoga instructor, instructed us in the art of the downward dog (although my personal favorite remains the corpse pose -- lying flat). The two Joshes taught us how to whip up delicious lychee martinis and look “super-cool” doing it and started us on our quest to become true guitar heroes.
With all of this activity, we sure worked up an appetite, but fortunately, master personal chef Paul C. was on hand displaying his crepe-making skills and supplying us with the delicious by-products of his demonstration. The caramelized apple and whipped creme fraiche crepe was our personal favorite! Last not but least, Barbara U., babysitter extraordinaire with an Italian accent to die for, took care of any little ones in attendance.
All night long, our “matchmaker wall” matched up service buyers looking for trustworthy help and talented service providers looking to share and sell their skills. Among our attendees, matches were made in Photoshop tutoring, handyman services, office assistance, love letter writing and guided bike tours.
In short, it was a very fun evening. We re-connected with good friends and made new ones in the talented and interesting people who attended.
A special thanks to our sponsor, Christiania Vodka – and an extra, extra special thanks to the great team who made it all happen.
