2015 Ugly Christmas Sweater UYE

All I have to say is BEST DAMN UYE EVER! Thanks to my FIRL (friends in real life) Jodi, Asa and Willis who went above and beyond to make the night special. They spent their own money for food and the awesome midnight ice cream.
Also, thanks to my other Unilocal friends who I see regularly and those I met for the first time that night. I think 99.9% of people participated by wearing an ugly sweater or something fun in the spirit of the theme. Unilocalers Rock!

I’m nearly two weeks late but I think I’ve finally recovered enough to write review. Major thanks to JAW production for putting together an awesome night. One know they had too much of a good time when not recalling taking pics. Ivy Tavern was the perfect spot for such an all night dance party on a heated patio with a drink or two, four, eight thrown in.

What a well thought out and organized event! Location was perfect with plenty of room and large bar! Bartenders were skilled and fast. DJ was top notch and help me forget the Cowboys loss! And a bunch of my favorite Unilocalers partying till the next morning! Food was yummy grill cheese, brisket sliders! Unilocalers are some of the most wonderful people I have ever been associated with!

Awesome event. This was my first time attending the UCS UYE and first at the Ivy. Initially It appeared a bit clicky for an event for people that met online but as the night progressed people started to losen up and just have fun. It was nice to see friendly faces [after a few but, ya know]
Nice venue, good drinks and the heated outdoor space was great, specially for me that get cold easily.
Bring your camera! People get creative with their sweaters. I had total ugly christmas sweater envy.
Looking forward to the next one.

I’m glad Jodi started this tradition a few years ago and teamed up this year with Willis and Asa. This was the first one for me to attend and I had soooo much fun. The Ivy is a pretty cool bar and their outdoor patio is killer. I loved being able to «dance» to the sweet tunes of DJ Brian. Great great event.

What a festive fun fiesta! This was my first time attending the annual holiday UYE and oh so glad that I went. I met a ton of new folks and we had a ball getting down on the dance floor! The bourbon ice cream at the end of the night was the icing on the cake. So many folks went all out on the ugly Christmas sweater theme too. Perfect venue and we had fantastic weather for the heated patio. The DJ also was rocking the house! Thank you JAW productions for throwing one heck of a party!

You know you had a good time when your body is aching the next day after all those dancing, laughing and chatting with old and new Unilocalers. This was my very first Ugly Sweater Christmas party and it was a hit! Thanks to JAW for making this epic party a dream come true. I hope to see you all soon next time. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

It’s so hard to believe that I was anti ugly Christmas sweaters just three short years ago. Then I met Jodi and she changed my perspective of ugly Christmas sweaters. It changed my life.
But on a serious note, this party was fabulous! The Ivy Tavern was a great location and the staff was fabulous. Nadia and Meredith made sure that we were taken care of all night and kept our tables clear. The heated patio idea was genius. It was decent weather out anyway and the heat lamps made it even more bearable.
Our hosts Jodi, Asa, and Willis were so much fun (but when are they not?)! They made their rounds as the party went on and graciously provided food for everyone to snack on. Last year’s party was epic and somehow this party was even more epic! Great job guys.
As always, it was fabulous getting to see familiar faces and meeting new Unilocalie faces at events. Looking forward to the next big event.

This event was so much fun! I lived the heated outdoor space and seeing everyone come in with their Christmas attire. The drinks were good, there was plenty of food, and ice cream later in the evening.
As the night progressed the amazing DJ got everyone on the dance floor. It was great to see everyone dancing and having a good time. I especially loved the Soul Train Line! It was great to see all of my Unilocal friends, and I also met some great new people as well!
Thank you to Asa, Willis, and Jodi for hosting. It was a great way to ring in the holiday season. Now, we just have to find a place for Jason to wear his swank Christmas Cat shirt again.

I attended the inaugural Ugly Christmas Sweater event in 2013, missed 2014 due to illness but made up for it this year in 2015! The first event was a small band of revelers but we had a blast. From what I hear last year rocked as well. But this year… this year I don’t think can be topped! It was in one spot because our previous crawling places either closed or changed in such a profound way that it made more since to find a place to roost! The Ivy Tavern was the perfect spot! All the usual suspects were in attendance with a few missing but I’m sure were there in spirit. Drinks flowed, food was plentiful and we had ICE CREAM from Carnival Barker Ice Creams and DJ Bryan Coonrod (you can find him on Facebook) spinning tunes that had everyone up on their feet the entire night. Folks who just showed up at place for a non-​related night out joined in on the fun. Everyone had on their ugly holiday gear and on their faces holiday cheer! I can’t wait until next year but I seriously doubt it will be better than this event! Unilocalers represented and showed everyone why they should Unilocal if they dont! Thanks Jodi, Asa, and Willis for a fabulous time! Great way to complete the 2015… great friends, food, drinks, and fun!

Interesting place don’t even need your jacket with these heaters trying out some of their food. Very interesting place and crowd outside of this use event.
