Happy Helloween

It’s Halloween today, woohoo! I’ve not dressed in a couple of years. Doing a little flashback… It’s 2003, I have just completed the code for the OnlineCameo Card (aka SparkCard) and we launched with our first event - Helloween.

For those that didn’t make it (which would include most of you), it was a fun little networking/dating/costume party we held at Lemon here in NYC. In total, we had about 75 people turn out for the event (a collection of friends, some press, and a bunch of strangers we met while handing out postcards in Union Square). It wasn’t a profitable event (wasn’t meant to be), but it did break even so I can’t complain.

They say being an entrepreneur is one of the most exciting (and stressful) things in life. I’d definitely agree, but damn it sure can be fun from time to time.

Here’s the invite, the postcard, and one of my favorite photos from the night.
