The V2Works team closed out the spooky yet great month of October with one of the most fun experiences in MEHH (month-end happy hour) history. We trekked over to the Hollywood Tavern in beautiful Woodinville, where we discovered that they have one of the greatest menus of delectables! We chomped on chile tots, cajun wings, Korean tacos, some tasty fries with dipping sauces, plus sliders and even fried pickles. It was October-feast! The highlight may have been their trio of "adult" milkshakes: Stumbling Cow, Holy Cow and the Nutty Cow - each made with a healthy dose of whiskey. Yumm! Being that we're a group that thrives on creativity, we have a knack for coming up with the most bizarre set of things to talk about. This month was no [...]

It’s always hard to tell how the weather might turn out on a September 30th in the Northwest.  It can be rainy and 50, or we can get lucky with warm and sunny conditions.  V2Work’s MEHH (Month End Happy Hour) delivered the latter this time! We took full advantage, enjoying our drinks and multiple appetizers outside at the Beardslee Public House, closing out a very exciting month. We chatted about topics that included the architectural design decisions of adjacent buildings, why Sia chooses to perform without a band onstage, and whether liver pâté is tasty or nasty. (Notice how one little letter can make a big difference?) The vote leaned toward nasty, with just two notable dissents. All in all, it was a great way to close out the month. [...]

With Labor Day just a week away, the V2Works team closed out the final Friday of August with our Month End Happy Hour at the home of Troy and Kathleen. We basked in the warm glow of a sunny afternoon, as we enjoyed drinks on their beautiful custom-built deck, coupled with some tasty appetizers to nosh on. The conversation turned to good songs for road trips, laughing-inducing face-swapping photo apps, and sharing ideas/plans for the not-too-distant holiday weekend. Nothing “meh” about this happy hour - it was pure MEHH!

The V2 Works team closed out July in a very hot way on a very hot day! On this MEHH, we enjoyed some drinks and snacks outdoors on the McMenamins patio. (Three of us opted for their raspberry-infused ale and found it quite refreshing!) The weather was gorgeous and the group conversation was well-spirited as we went from discussing the summer’s blockbuster movies to adventures in camping and hiking, as well as reminiscing about our day just two weeks earlier visiting Bullwinkle. Unfortunately Troy had to miss this MEHH as he was on his way to Philadelphia for the AACC tradeshow, but a good time was had by those who were in town and could make it! Yikes – July is over. The next one will be just a week [...]
