Well with all those Northern culinary delights on offer you could be forgiven for forgetting what a lot’s been going on down South in the last week or so, but fear not – help is on hand to keep you updated (and entertained!).
As previously alluded to, we've now had our second Monster Mingle and what a treat it was! Located in the swanky basement bars of CitySocialising favourite Grace, hundreds of socialisers gathered once more to enjoy the fun of meeting a veritable shed-load of new people (and one or two familiar faces as well).
I started out in what I consider to be the very best position in the house for an event like this – on the door. When there are simply hundreds of people coming to any event, the only way you can possibly meet all of them is by being at the entrance. That way, although it may have been only briefly, I got to say hello to nearly everybody. As the hours wore on and the evening got decidedly chillier (perhaps something to do with the dissolute departure of a particular checked shirt from a certain flowerpot) I strayed down into the hubbub of our Monster Mingle II in full flow. After grabbing myself a couple of Monsters on the Beach, and rubbing my eyes to check that there really was a gorilla on the dance floor, I was swept away in the fun of meeting new folk for the rest of night. Hours later, a few more Monster Cocktails down and after some disconcertingly extensive conversation about thatching, it was already time to start packing up and dreaming of Monster Mingles to come.
Despite the good turn out, there was one notable absentee from our Monster Mingle II. Sadly our little CS Monster pin badges managed to lose their way whilst travelling the world. They ventured as close to home as Sidcup in their globetrotting, but after a disagreement with some gentlemen in UK Customs they packed their bags for China, then South Korea, then Kazakhstan and on the night of the Mingle itself they were spotted partying the night away in Cologne, Germany. They have now made their way back to home to a severe reprimanding and instructions not to be tardy for the upcoming Monster Jingle.
But enough talk of monsters and mingling, the real question on every readers lips is “What gastronomic excitement befell the CS employees this week?” Well hunger for answers no more my friends! I shall impart to you the knowledge that the CSHQers all whizzed over to Shad Thames to take advantage of Zizzi’s lunchtime specials last Friday. Three courses and rather copious additional helpings of Torta Cioccolato later, a perceptibly larger CitySocialising team emerged on the cobbled streets of London.
That’s enough of past affairs at CSHQ for the moment, but what of coming events on the CS Calendar? Well, keep your eyes peeled for free gin in conjunction with Bulldog (cocktail ideas anyone?) and for our Halloween themed Zombie Stomps around the country (that doesn’t mean stomping around the country!) amongst much more. And don’t forgot you can always create your own Social as well.
Stay tuned in for more City fun this Friday my little monsters.
