I have to admit, I am still a bit shattered - but it definitely was worth it!

Since we did not have a clue how many people we had to expect to join our office opening party, all of us felt a little exicted when we prepared our office for the first Palomar5 party yesterday evening.

Soon, it turned out that the word had been spread efficiently! Our first guest showed up even before 9 pm and we conjointly said cheers to the evening to come! Within 2 hours, our space was filled with a wide range of people: business partners, friends, potential camp participants - and everyone who had heard about our project and was eager to find out more!

For myself, I was trapped between filling the fridge with beer and chatting with people to explain the concept of Palomar5 (as far as it was not known anyways) for the first few hours. Honestly, it's the best feeling you can get to see that people have an interest in what you do and are intrigued to know more! Thanks so much to all you guys that I have been talking to!

Later on, I highly enjoyed myself on the dancefloor! I moved with the crowd from the entrance part of our office to the next room, where the DJ's had put up their desk and we danced until early in the morning!

To finish the story: this morning, the team met to have a joint breackfast, tidy up and turn our office back into a working environment. By now, it nearly looks like there had never been a party and all those people had never been here (ok... you might still be able to smell it when you enter the space...) - but I am sure all of us will keep this night in very good memories!
