Some Of My Favorite Avenue A(wesome) Memories
Today is moving day… I’m super excited about the new space, but 34 Ave A certainly treated us well. We had a great year here, and we’re ready for even bigger and more exciting things to come!
I figured it was a good day to share a few of my favorite memories from our first year at Quirky, on Ave A. Here are some things that stick out in my mind:
1. When our first product, Split Stick, hit threshold.
2. When we did our first Quick & Quirky event and decided to take on two products in just 24 hours. That call to Jeff Scholen at 1 am asking if he was cool with us moving forward with his concept, even though it wasn’t at the top of the community vote originally, will always stick out in my mind!
3. When we shipped thousands of Powercurl boxes from the office itself. This was in our pre-warehouse days, and it was quite exciting to be part of the action from start to finish. The FedEx team thought we were insane (I think they are still recovering).
4. When we had one week full of TV press hits that we watched live in the office — we’re talking ABC coverage of the DigiDudes and Ben’s appearance on Fox Business News.
5. And, of course, the laughs that ensue every time someone asked, “Where is Avenue Wesome?”
