part of the elite

Last night I attended a fashion show and gallery opening at Area 919 in Northern Liberties. This event was promoted by yelp.com as a new campaign that invites their "Yelp Elite" out to area events for VIP deals, networking and partying. You can become a part of the elite by signing up as a reviewer on yelp.com and reviewing your brains out. I was invited because Grasshopper was taking part in the fashion show. Area 919 was a great space with all kinds of vintage and imported furniture, artwork, and housewares. There was locally donated wine and cupcakes and even local salons being represented with free mini massages. The crowd was a great mix of the interesting, hip, and fashionably dressed.
