Some people might find the title of this post offensive so I should first say, it was the winning headline for our headline writing contest which was part of our annual open house.

It's hard to believe the top notch party planning staff at PARTNERS+simons (lead by Amy Kitson) pulled off another amazing open house. Kudos to you all.

Our annual December open house has become one of the best nights out in the local advertising/marketing/interactive community and what makes it terrific, aside from the always exceptional food, drink and music (thanks to The Loomers), is just the eclectic mix of people brought together in the expanse of 25 Drydock Avenue. This year's crowd seemed to top the 500-600 persons count. One of our largest gatherings yet.

It doesn't hurt that Tom Simons encourages every PARTNERS+simons employee to not only invite clients, but we also open the night up to include friends, family, business partners, and anyone else we think would make the party interesting.

This year's open house took on something of a Vegas theme. Tom played Steve Winn, presiding over his very own Vegas strip. It was pretty cool. Everyone seemed to be having a terrific time at the various tables, throwing away fake P+s money.

And then there was the headline writing contest which was incorporated into our famous poster invite. There were a handful of winners. I gave away the winning headline already. But OMG, we received in excess of 250 entries.

And so that the evening doesn't dissapear without a trace, the exceptional production folks at Boston.TV decided to show up for the evening and captured the essence of the night with some fun P+s party footage -- take a look.

Yup, another year in the can.
