Fred Sox Outing!

‎Posted August 14, 2012 in Behind The Scenes, Stuff We Like. Tagged with .

Last week the Fred staff took part in the 4th Annual Fred Sox Company Outing to Fenway Park. We had newbies, seasoned veterans, Sox fanatics, an intern, one interloper and a hitchhiker all join together to watch the Sox beat get clobbered by the Tigers. And what else did we do? WE STARTED THE WAVE! Yep. We were those people.

Fred, who forgot that he himself had tickets to see the game (in the good seats, natch) found out about our questionable deed and let out a disappointing sigh. "Who the @#$% starts a wave when the Sox are rallying?!?"

We do, Fred. We do.

Our motley crew "loosening up" before the game.

Jason was unhappy because he had a flask of tequila down his pants and not in his belly.

Our seats were exceptional during Detroit’s numerous home-runs.

Paula and Deb clearly had a ball.

Jess and friend successfully rallied the fans.

Julio and Meagan started the second Wave.

So let’s root, root, root for the wrong team…*sing song*

Ooooh, Eeeee, Ahhhhh…Detroit scores again!

Customer Service representin’! Jess, Amanda and Jill.

Interpretive song and dance to the tune of Sweet Caroline.

We're famous!

Big THANKS to Fred for the tickets, dinner, drinks AND transportation to the game. He sure knows how to throw a company outing!

NYIGFers: We’re Moving AGAIN!

And we’re not getting too comfortable either.

If you’ve been to the Javits Center any time in the last two years, you’ve noticed gobs of new construction popping up left and right. We hear it’s all for the greater good, but in the meantime we’ll continue to do the Harlem Midtown Shuffle all over the convention center. Conventioneers, please take note:

We were so tickled to see Guillermo's adorable son sucking on our Chill Baby: Lil' Shaver* pacifier. I think this is an example of "the proof is in the puddin." See how calm, cool and collected that little tyke is? Heck, I think I'm going to try one out myself — it's been a stressful week!

You might have seen this called the Mustachifier but on account of a trademark issue we did the ole switcheroo and now it's Chill Baby: Lil' Shaver.

Or is that hoagie you ate for lunch not sitting well? Either way, you’re sure to find some good reading in one of our favorite magazines, Pregnancy & Newborn. (Just ask some of our favorite baby-crazy men in the office.) We want to give them an XXL thank you for featuring our products in several issues this past year.

Thanks Pregnancy & Newborn!

From the bottoms of our hearts! xoxo
