Yelp Chicago's 2nd Annual Holiday Bash!

It takes more than a blizzard to keep yelpers away from Yelp Chicago’s 2^nd Annual Holiday Bash! The Yelp Elite Squad lined up in the snow to get inside Mrs. Murphy and Sons Irish Bistro for some bacon wrapped shrimp, crab cakes, other tasty appetizers, and Toasted Head Wine! Stephy S of LA Yelp, Fayza E of Houston Yelp, and Kevin N of Austin Yelp were at the door spreading Yelp holiday cheer! We welcomed new Elite Squad members, such as Mike O, while catching up with old timers (Matthew A and Katie H to name a few). We even said ba-bye to Julia W, who will soon be leaving us for St. Louis. Sniff sniff.

When the rest of yelpland arrived for the main bash the party was in full swing! Many yelpers, such as Kori M, spent half the night taking pictures in the fab photo booth while others were shaking their booty (Jackie P among others) on the dance floor. And a big thanks to our talented DJ, Nikki C, for getting the dance party started! The music was so good that we could barely tear ourselves away for the impressive chocolate foundation downstairs. The Yelp elves were there to catch all the impressive dance moves on Polaroid film and San ta even stopped in for some fun (& a little too much Toasted Head Wine).

Thanks to Jaime J and the rest of the staff at Mrs. Murphy and Sons Irish Bistro for making this the best holiday party! And a big thank you to our friends at Toasted Head Wine for making sure we had hangovers at work the next morning. To view pictures from Dan Gin Photography, click here.
