Elite Event: Yelpi Gras @ Molly’s in Soulard

Once again, a great Unilocal event. It was good to meet a few more Unilocalers and even ran into some people that I didn’t know were part of our scene. The only part that I didn’t like (and maybe its because I’m turning into a grumpy old man) was that the room we were in was a little small for our sized group, but I don’t think much could have been done about that since it appears Unilocal St. Louis is growing quickly. Overall, great time and I can’t wait for my schedule to slow down so we can make a few more events.

I’m soo behind on my reviews!
Welp, there’s not a lot that’s more awkward than walking into a crowd of people you don’t know and being expected to mingle. I expected to walk in and know exactly who everyone was. Not so!
The hurricane eased my nerves a bit as did talking with Joselyn & friend, Mark & wife, Crystal and her darling friend. And then I got to meet Abby (You rock, hun! Thanks again!!) and the fabulous Mr. and Mrs. G! Overall it was a great night and I look forward to meeting more of you at the next one!
PS I’ve rocked my Unilocal lunch box every day since I got it. Jealousy abounds.

Abby S. was awesome! Everyone I met was super friendly, even though I may not have seemed to be! (I can get a little nervous meeting new people, I never know what to say!) The lunchboxes are totally rad, and I am definitely rocking it to work each day! I’m excited for the next event, and to meet some more Unilocalers!

great job abby, snacks were great, hurricane was tasty, but most importantly, all of my friends were super jealous of my super pimped out chalice at mardi gras!
«where’d you get that?!»
«yelp party.»
«ohhhh.»
it was the day i turned ( Unilocal) elitist.

Hi Guys… here is an update for this event. The RFT just did a tongue-​in-​cheek review of the party… check it out!

When i was a kid, I was always jealous of my classmates whose moms packed their lunch in a lunch box with a matching thermos… especially the kids that had snack pack… jerks! Well, now i can pack my very own lunch in my new Unilocal lunch box… so rad!
Yay for our first elite event, I had to bail a bit early… but i hope to meet more Unilocalers at the next event. Great job, Abby. keep it up! :)

Hooray, Unilocal St. Louis! This was a great first Elite event, and I must raise my rhinestone-​studded pimp cup to Abby for putting together such a nice shindig.
The snacks were tasty, the lunchboxes are super fun, and my inner Martha Stewart loved that there were arts & crafts. I definitely enjoyed meeting my fellow St. Louis Unilocalers while sipping hurricanes out of bedazzled pimp cups.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next event!

How freaking awesome was this event!!! Abby S, you rock!
Good food, great people, and bad ass swag. Hello, Mr. Unilocaly Lunchbox! I lurve you! I’m also madly in love with my bedazzled pimp cup and Unilocalstick!
It was so nice meeting Unilocal friends in person. Everyone was SO nice! I wish I could have talked to everyone. Oh well… there’s always next time!
I really really can’t wait until the next event.

Excellent event, but that was expected! Awesome swag (I don’t think I pilfered enough).
Anyway, great to see some familiar faces in person again and, of course, great to meet new people as well.
And great to barge drunkenly into others’ conversation and act like we’ve known each other since 4^th grade.
And for those unmet, there’s always next time.

I had such a nice time at my first Unilocal Elite event tonight at Molly’s in Soulard– thanks to Abby S!
I went in not sure what to expect, and I must say a little nervous. However, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I walked out of there with a nifty little lunch box, a great Unilocal Pimp Cup for my Mardi Gras celebrations, and a few new Unilocal friends!
I of course have to throw this in– If you’re a vegetarian, then you know going to events is always a little scary when it comes to the food. How will you know if there will be something you can eat?! Tonight there were plenty of veg choices AND everything was labeled! No wondering… hmmm…what do you think is in that little wrapped up doodad?
Thanks again for a great first event Abby!

Hooorray!!! Abby put on a her 1^st successful Unilocal Elite Event tonight at Molly’s! She had her bright red wig on and made sure she stopped at every table to engage in conversation.
There was great food to go along with the great elite event. In the beginning we had mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, spicy wings, and spinach artichoke wontons. The spicy wings were really spicy… but good. Then later in the evening they bought out mostacciolli (don’t know how to spell it) and toasted ravioli. Not the best toasted rav in the world but heh it was free.
Oh my gosh all the Elite Unilocalers were so Cool! Shoutout to my new Unilocaler friends Stephanie, Mike u, and Alejandro. We got to decorate pimp cups which was also a nice lil activity!
PS. Thanks Abby for my Elite lunchbox… it was sooo cute!

Thank you Abby for everything! This event was awesome! I met quite a few Unilocalers and everyone I met seemed really great. I met a few friends and plan on meeting a few down at Mardi Gras this weekend. It was awesome to finally start making friends in St. Louis.
Molly’s was a cool little place. I can’t wait to try out their patio area this summer. We had mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, wings, toasted ravs and spinach artichoke wontons. The wings had a unique flavor and were quite spicy. I am still trying to figure out if they had a hint of habanero? Apparently my husband had never had toasted Ravs before and was quite confused on where the cheese was. They definately weren’t Chef Boyardee! (Much better)
Thank you so much for the cute lunch box. I just know everyone is gonna be jealous at work:) I plan to use the thermos as a wine companion this summer at Forest Park. Thank you to Abby… I salute my pimp cup to you!
