Here at Reseller News, we get invited to a lot of events. But one which I’d heard folklore about was the Axon St Patrick’s Day party which the company holds instead of a Christmas function.
This is a great idea as the Christmas events tend to blur into one after awhile - not that spending an entire evening drinking Guinness does not cause blurriness either.
So in the spirit of social networking, here is a small list of signs that you’re at an Axon St Patrick’s Day party.
1. The covers band is called Bomb Squad (an IRA reference of course!)
2. One of the ‘leprechauns’ in attendance manages to break a glass when tapping it
3. The dress code is not black tie, but green shirt (not a reference to CEO Scot Green however)
4. Scott Green receives offers to buy his "Kiss Me I'm Irish" t-shirt
5. There are no long speeches - that cuts into the drinking time
6. Everyone is worried their drunken poses will end up in Reseller News (of course they will!)
7. After a few Kilkenny’s some people think they can do the River Dance
8. The programmers start texting when they run out of small talk
Axon’s Natalie Hilterman and Alan Nehemia from Toshiba get cozy with Shameless the Leprechaun.
Sounds like a fantastic night!!!
