The Guru's Guide to Happiness: Giving back

The Guru's Guide to Happiness: Giving Back

I've written before about the amazing things we've had happy customers do for us; from baking cookies to delivering homebrew beer to sending us chocolates and cheese and wine -- jeeze, thinking about it, we've got some pretty amazing customers....

We decided to turn the tables a bit and put on an event for our customers to show them how much we appreciate them. Recently, in honor of All Hands Support Month we had an AHS after party BBQ on the rooftop patio of our San Francisco office in the South Park neighborhood.

We invited some of our local San Francisco customers and of course,any Olarkers who happened to be in town at the time. The weather cooperated and it was a balmy 77 degree evening. There is nothing like a San Francisco night (with no fog or wind), along with chat themed cocktails ("Chat on the Beach") and some yummy BBQ. And all the while having the opportunity to get to know some of our lovely customers.

Thank you one and all for coming and making the party a success and if you missed it, come by pretty much any Tuesday night during the Summer months and we'll be happy to cook something up for you on the spot. (Yes, that's yours truly working the grill -- brisket, kabobs, teriyaki shrimp, and grilled tofu for the non-carnivores).
