Recap: Hey It’s Our First Birthday Party! PHOTOS

Last Tuesday (of course) we noshed, drank and reveled to celebrate one year of TueNight. And without further ado, here are a few photos….

The event was held at the beautiful Park Avenue South WeWork in New York City, last Tuesday, October 7. Adrianna hand screen-printed some goodie bag totes for the occasion (sleeves rolled, that one.)

Nearly 100 women (and a few dudes) attended, including TueNight contributors Kathleen Warner, Cherisse Gardner and actor Chantal Jean-Pierre.

The founders of BinderCon — Leigh Stein (l) and Lux Alptraum. We learned Lux was a roller derby goddess; we think she’d like this story.

Tattly made us adorable temporary tattoos for the occasion that say “Tales to Tell” (cause we have ’em.)

Chantal Jean-Pierre ended the evening’s readings with Cherisse Gardner’s piece, The Day I Cut My Hair, I Lost More Than Locks. Nary a dry eye in the house.

Attendees, including writer Gretchen Rubin, Kate Lee of Medium, Amy Choi of the Mashup Americans and Stacy Morrison of BlogHer listen intently as we read some of our stories.

Our sponsors, including Wine Sisterhood and Middle Sister Wine, Cabot Cheese, La NewYorkina, Hint Water and Aperol (see the glowing orange Aperol Spritz — was amazing) helped to make the evening a smash with everyone, including founding TueNighters Kat Borosky and Adrianna Dufay.
