The conference is over.  The iPhones have been given away and the booth's packed up.   What could possibly be left to tell?  Well, there is one thing...  

Expedia Corporate Travel and JetBlue got together to throw a party to thank all of the customers of both companies that made it to NBTA.  As you might have guessed, it was an absolutely raucous affair (which should have been no surprise given that we held it at Gypsy Bar, the kind of place usually reserved for the upper crust party crowd.  Truthfully, the kind of place that would have turned 90% of us away on a normal night...)

So what happened?  Take a look at the pictures and see if you can spot some of your friends from the convention:

All of the Pictures from the Party!

The party exceeded all expectations from any of us at ECT.  Here are some of the most notable happenings from the eventful night:

1. Repeated funny shouts from the bar that customers should leave the Harry Potter at the door and stop calling the Patron tequila "Patronus,"
2. The amazing number of shots that I saw people put away.  Seriously.  At one point I seriously thought I had stumbled in fraternity party only to realize that the liqour was way too nice for that.
3.  An absolutely packed dance floor.  ECT Canada employee Megan Rideout was surprisingly convincing at getting folks out on the floor but the persuasion was hardly needed.  The place was wall to wall.
4.  Attractive bartenders are a bigger draw than a band.  
 
This last one was really a surprise.  I was personally worried that people would really wish we'd had a band.  Right next door to us was another NBTA party featuring the Aphrodisiacs.  All night long there was a steady stream of people coming over to ogle the staff.  (When we picked the venue, I swear I had no idea the place was voted to have the best looking staff of any bar in Boston two years running.)

All in all, it was a great event.  Thanks again to JetBlue for their sponsorship and the free tickets they handed out to happy partygoers throughout the night.  And finally, thanks to the amazing Expedia events team for pulling it off!
