Team Refrigeration had a blast participating in Fiji Water Urban Hunt this weekend! @Leyla_A did a great job putting the event together. We would like to thank all the other sponsors who helped make this event happen & provided great prizes. The companies who got involved in this event all know how great social media is at connecting people. This event is a great example of how social media brings people together online & in real life (IRL)!
Upon arriving @SushiSambaChi I ordered the Churrasco Burger. It came with crispy onions, chorizo mayo & a pretzel bun. It was delicious. My partner @ChicagoDMBlover showed up a short while later & we started gearing up for the scavenger hunt. We both had plenty of extra batteries for the smart phones & I brought a net book. We took off for Navy Pier after receiving our clues.
The first place we hit was Bubba Gumps on the pier. We had to take a picture of the bartender making a VeeV Coctail & post the ingredients on FaceBook & Twitter.
We also checked in on FourSquare for extra points, FourSquare is a location based social network which allows you to connect and share tips with other nearby users.
We made a video singing happy birthday to a complete stranger for extra points. That was embarrassing & fun at the same time! While at Navy Pier we got to see the Blue Angles flying overhead for the Air Show!
Our next stop was the W Hotel Whiskey Sky Lounge at 644 N Lake Shore Dr. This task took embarrassment to a whole new level. We had to be video taped doing 3 dances. The Running Man, Cabbage Patch & The Robot. We then posted a picture of our team doing the Robot Dance to twitter & Face Book. I definitely plan on going back to Whiskey Sky Lounge. The views of the city and lake front were amazing. We took a nice @fijiwater break while at Whiskey Sky Lounge! 
Next we headed to Aja restaurant (@ajachicago) in the Dana Hotel (@danahotel) 660 N. State St. While there we had the bartender make a VeeV cocktail and explain the ingredients to us. We then tweeted the ingredients, posted them on face book and took a picture of the drink being made and posted that as well.
The next stop on our route was the John Hancock building at 875 North Michigan Avenue. There we had to take a picture by the “Sky High Cocktail” from @athousandfeetup image on the lower level. We also found out who designed the building by asking at the information desk. The answer was Fazlur Khan in 1969. We posted this information along with the picture we took to Twitter and Face Book.
Our next stop was Lululemon athletica, a yoga-inspired athletic apparel company at 900 N. Michigan Ave. We tried on their clothes and learned about the features…never thought I’d be in yoga wear! The shirts are “anti stink, anti static, seamless & body shaping.” We tweeted and posted to Facebook about the qualities of the shirts. By the time we got done @lululemon it was 5:40 P.M. & we started heading back to Sushi Samba.
Our final task at Sushi Samba was to make ourselves @VeeV cocktails! We were more than happy to do so after walking all over Chicago on a 90+ degree day! Here is the picture of my partner @chicagodmblover making us some nice stiff VeeV & Cranberry Cocktails! The drinks were smooth & excellent!
Teresa (@chicagodmblover) pouring us some VeeV Cocktails!
We had a great time competing in the scavenger hunt. The after party at Sushi Samba was a blast. The Sushi appetizers were delicious. Good crowd & great to see friends new & old. I snapped a nice picture of my friend @feliciacago (on rite) with Teresa my Fiji Hunt partner.
Team Refrigeration (@refrigeration) Came very close to winning this event…. Let me rephrase that! Team Refrigeration was very close to the winning team when the winner was announced. My new friends @chicofc & @jimmydoestea (team teabaggers) won the event. I was ready with a camera when they found out! I am very happy they ended up winning!
@jimmydoestea & @chicofc #fijihunt Champs!
The night doesn’t end there! After the party at Sushi Samba my partner Teresa & I went out to a phenomenal dinner with many other friends including @jimmydoestea @chicofc @tamcdonald @chicagodmblover @princessv13 @getyouryggi @mkinchitown @ebarchdesign. We dined like Kings & Queens @kinziechophouse!
This was a wonderful Saturday that won’t soon be forgotten!
