Toxicology! Rhymes with Mixology!

Last Tuesday, March 9th, Pierpont Place had the pleasure of hosting the Metabolon Event for the Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting Convention. We had an incredible time with this fun group of people - after a day on their feet they were ready to take a load off, enjoy some fabulous food from Cosmopolitan Catering, and celebrate with some of the trademark Premier Event Services bar creations!
I have to thank Matt Zaske of Metabolon for being such an amazing and gracious host for his friends and colleagues. Despite the rain coming down in unpredicted torrents right when his event was starting, Matt was running around outside right with our staff - pulling back up the easels and making sure the signs were visible for all his guests. Now that's a North Carolina man who's not afraid to get his hands dirty! :) We all had a great time chatting with Matt and his colleagues about the amazing work they're all doing in Toxicology: research, development, seminars, implementation of new products, etc. Needless to say - this type of stimulating event is extremely fun for our staff to partake in!
The drink of the night seemed to be Staci's trademark Bloody Mary. After being asked by one sweet woman whether a Bloody Mary was a reasonable request for our full bar, Staci ran downstairs to grab the necessary ingredients and whipped her up a Bloody Mary complete with horseradish, Bloody Mary mix, vodka, and Staci's special secret ingredient. To be honest - the initial request resulted in five (count 'em, five!) of the woman's friends coming over for a drink of their own! That's the magic of Staci, our bar manager!
Premier Event Services off-site coordination and bars really do go beyond the norm - our bar staff is second to none in personality, creativity, willingness to explore, and absolute level of FUN!

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of this event, but I wanted to thank Matt Zaske and Metabolon for hosting this great event during the Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting here in Salt Lake City. Matt says he'll be back in May for another convention, and we can't wait to see him again!

Saturday night was the Junior League's Annual Black and White Ball - as soon as I get photos from this event I'll tell you ALL about it!
Thank you all for reading!!
