FoodFu Celebration Party
We threw a party to celebrate the launch of FoodFu and say thank you to the beta testers and supporters who helped us make FoodFu possible. It was a casual evening with passed appetizers at a private party catered by Sunny Yoga Kitchen. We started the evening with some mingling and then projected a slide show that started with a video clip from the FoodFu Launch that aired on the local news, KTVZ Channel 21. Many of the beta testers showed up in the news clip because the station mined our YouTube channel to tell the story. It was fun to see many of the people at the party in the video. One of the most fun parts of the evening for us was giving out awards with a golden whisk to our beta testers. The golden whisks were a faux gold whisk topped with a tiny gold trophy. They were a little kitsch but fun!
