It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Text100 Boston Holiday Party Edition

The Text100 Boston office hosted its annual holiday party this past Friday, and thanks to the Fun Committee (aka Ilena), the event was a smashing success. Here’s a rundown of the evening’s festivities:

First, we started with our favorite game of Secret Santa/Hush Hush Chanukah Harry while enjoying some pre-dinner cocktails. Earlier in the month, each of us picked a secret name and for weeks, deliberated over the perfect gifts. This year’s gift giving seemed especially personal – a testament to how much we really enjoy working with each other.

Then we hopped onto the (ever-reliable) subway to head over to dinner…

The real par-tay took place at the Back Bay Social Club (BBSC), where Texties and significant others alike gorged themselves on the restaurant’s amazing food. From spinach salad with bleu cheese to fettuccini alfredo to honey glazed salmon to molten chocolate lava cake (yes, be jealous), everything was amazing.

After eating, we somehow managed to roll ourselves over to Eastern Standard, where we continued to spread the holiday cheer until the wee hours.

We didn’t think we could top last year’s holiday party, but with a little help from Brandy over at BBSC, the 2012 shindig beat them all…until next year.

Happy holiday party to all and to all a good night!

We’re Ready for Our Close-up: The Text100 Boston Office Gets a Facelift

Last month, the Text100 Boston office had the pleasure of hosting the incomparable Ms. Kelly McClay as she conducted a major overhaul on our office. She and her team spent four days (including a Saturday and Sunday!) tearing up carpeting, repainting walls, laying down flooring and, overall, working some major magic on our Milk Street home away from home. Check out a few pictures of the transformation.  Still more improvements to come, so be on the lookout for additional posts.

Big thanks to Kelly, Alison and Sean for all their hard work and months of planning to get this place into tip top Text100 shape!

All of our desks squeezed to one side of office as the construction team prepares to take up the carpeting.


Look, ma! No desks!


Beautifully redone foyer/entry way, complete with new wall paint and wood floors.


Kelly was able to sneak away for a few and join us on our summer outing. Cheers! (From Left: Kelly, Ilena, Sean)

Friday afternoons were made for Text on the Beach

After a really long week of doing great client work, nothing hits the spot like a Text on the Beach. Thanks to our awesome Fun Committee for coming up with the perfect pick-me-up for a Friday afternoon.

Cheers friends!
