The event was held at Scarlet Wine Lounge, Fort Strip (beside Craft). The place has this cool, suave feel. I love the leather couch touch.
The food was great, too! Look at how I stacked my plate– they served sushi, thin crust pizzas, beef and shrimp dishes, and those little skewered tapas which are actually quail eggs wrapped in bacon.
Of course, meet and greets entail meeting new people. This was where WIM GO comes in. WIMGO is a game that resembles human bingo. Criteria like "someone who can rap", "someone who has a weird pet" are listed on a piece of paper, you are tasked to find someone in the room who fits that certain description.
Like I said, the game forces you to meet new people.
At the end of the night prizes were given away, and some people showed us their mad skills in the process.
The first photo shows someone downing a bottle of beer in 20 seconds. Jay of jsncrz.com showing us his crazy dancing moves on the second, and Ida of Green Mango (yes, they made this cool video) rapping.
It was great to finally meet all these people I've known through the internet and their blogs. Too bad I wasn't able to take a lot of photos as I was first distracted by the WIMGO, and then by the food (curse my voracious appetite!). Here's a few I got Bri to take, though.
