The team has been working hard between the upcoming Vthankyou campaign and our beta release in November, but we definitely know how important it is to have some fun. Last night we set up shop at the Dave Balter Tech Prom, “your second chance at the prom of a lifetime”. Dave McLaughlin (my boss/CEO of Vsnap) had a very important meeting pop up, so unfortunately he had to give up his ticket. I felt kinda bad that he was missing out on the fun, so I thought the team should send him a “wish you were here” vsnap. Well, that snowballed into us (Claudia, Joe, and myself) getting about 45 prom-goers to make about 30 vsnaps for Dave. 

Melinda Green (Inphantry) and Ethan Bagley showed off their silly side.

Tess Gallagher beatboxed while Mike Stone (Abroad101) dropped a ridiculous rap. He was going so fast I couldn’t even get a screencap (rhyming is contagious).

DJ and UX extraordinaire Tom Boates (Runkeeper) wished Dave a great meeting and vowed to perform Thriller in its entirety in front of a large audience.

The lovely Rebecca Corliss (HubSpot) tried to talk about how Dave was missing an awesome prom, but I think she was just too stoked about winning prom queen and that sweet Gemvara ring.

Even my new date, Valentino, donned a Vsnap bowtie I made and expressed his sadness that Dave couldn’t make it. 

I’m sure Dave was psyched to have his inbox hit with all these digital postcards from prom last night and I’m glad folks had a really good time making them. Shout outs and thank yous to Dave Balter, Mike Troiano, Sarah Hodges, Cort Johnson, and Jennifer Lum for putting together such an amazing event. The Fairmont Copley Hotel was a great space and from the sunglasses (thanks GSN) to the food to the corsages (thanks WayFair), DB Tech Prom totally beat my high school prom to a pulp.
