Our Bling-tastic YAP dance party details!

Hi all!

We are all confirmed for the Toronto YAP dance party. It's going to be SO awesome. I'm sending you this info so you know the scoop and can help us spread the word as we get closer to the day. We will post the event in the calendar too, so this is just a heads' up.

The party will be Monday August 17 at the Rockwood club (31 Mercer Street) starting at 10 pm. It's about .5 miles from the Metro Toronto Convention Center (walking distance or $8 cab ride) and 10 minute cab ride from The Distillery area (ASAE's Food & Wine Classic Event/ends at 10pm). Check out the virtual tour! The club closes at 3:00 am so have a nap before you come out... ;)

We will have the 2 main booths on the 2nd floor (wood level) for the entire night. The booths surround the dance floor. There is part of the bar that is exclusive to this area for people to cash in drink tickets.  The booths include bottle service-4 bottles of Absolut. We will use the bottles of Absolut for the exclusive event drink, the YAPtini. The YAPtini ingredients will be provided; guests will be responsible for mixing individual drinks in the VIP area. In addition to bottle service, guests will be provided with drink tickets. (Gratuity is included so you won't need to tip extra unless you're bling like that).

No cover charge for event guests arriving before 11:30pm. YAPpers say their name at the door and are let in FREE, bottle service establishes VIP entrance to the event. We will provide blingy YAP stickers as identifiers too, for anyone who finds us to get one in advance, so make sure you find us - OR - visit the booths of our fab-tastic sponsors, Avectra and SusQtech, to get a sticker.

We will also have some Moo cards for you - these are the little exclusive invitation cards we ask people to hand out in the run up to the party. We don't print many; we ask people to hand them out to colleagues they think will attend and will bring others with them.  Come find us at the conference if you want some - but only hand one out per group of people - they are limited supply!

Apart from showing up and dancing your little hearts out, here are other ways you can help:

- the theme is "Bling!" - so think about "bling" to bring with you (just for fun, YAP is not responsible for lost or stolen items yada yada!)

- post ideas here for our "YAPtini" cocktail - must be mixed with Absolut.  Our YAP colors are traditionally orange and blue - but we've had mixed results with that combo so no need to stick to that!

- spread the word!  Tell your friends.  

It will be awesomesauce in the extreme!  Can't wait to see you all then.

I'm in to work on the cocktail.  Two questons:

1.  Can we get a *flavored* Absolut, or can we only get plain vodka?

2.  Can we get any alcoholic mixers (like Cointreau, Blue Curaco, etc.) or are we confined to juices and soda?

Had the same questions myself, being partial to Absolut Ruby... I am sure we can have all of the above as long as it's not too complicated.  I believe we have to mix them ourselves ;)

I have a good (non-association) friend who's clever with the cocktails.  She and I are going to put our heads together and see what we can come up with.

Stay tuned....

Love them!  Anyone else?  :)

YUMMY!

Of the three, I vote for the blue crush!

It looks yummy and the blue tongues we'll get from drinking them is just a bonus. :)

So I want to know if I am being punished or this is standard rookie treatment but my presentation is at 9am on Tuesday! The morning after the best party of the year and I have to be professional and a good ambassador for Australian-based YAPpers at 9am the next morning.

So the afternoon nap is a definite in my Monday schedule and I just need something to do bewteen 3am and 8.30am on Tuesday - if I sleep there is no recovering I am sure!

I put myself through college and grad school tending bar....happy to dream up some concoctions on the fly.....I have some DELO originals that might knock you down!
