It was the perfect mix of dancing, libations and the releasing of souls at the Groupon Customer Appreciation Party “The Grouponing,” held last Thursday night at Carnivale Restaurant in Chicago.
About 650 Groupon customers fought an Armageddon-like blizzard to come and party with us (totally arranged that for dramatic effect, btw.) We had a blast meeting you guys in person and making out in the corner.
