The Ken Allen Studios PhotoBooth Slideshow:

“Kevin DeLeon busted his hump helping me get all of the equipment to and fro. Charlotte Chang helped tons with the shooting. Aaron you mentioned was a great help, and Angela Kaon was there as back up help.

Thanks a million! “

-Ken Allen


Back to the Present … for now

Thanks so much to everyone for not only coming and dancing last night, but for putting some serious creativity into your getups!  It was most definitely an enchanted evening, celebrating NBRs 3rd birthday with old friends and meeting new members.  The Social Committee wants to make sure to recognize some of the folks who went above and beyond to make this an incredible night for NBR:

Helen Clarkson and Elise Shin for both creating and enforcing our prom budget, handling tickets sales and working with the venue to help bring us last night’s great space!

Brian Cicero, Logan Yu and Glenn DeKler for creating the event’s promotions and entertainingly reminding us to get our damn tickets already.

Kate Maxwell for helping in our venue search and for securing us donated Sixpoint tallboys to kick off the night! And Marla for running down to their Red Hook Brewery to pick up the brews when the delivery failed.

Colin D for making the enchantment happen by transforming the Warsaw, with the dedicated help of his crafting crew Brian Cicero, Kaet McAnneny, Marla, Charlotte, Elise, Logan and Aaron.

Ken, along with his team including Aaron, Karen, and others I know I am missing, by making the highlight of the night again be the “photo booth” and capturing the night, for better or worse, for eternity.

Kam, Lauren Su and Fernando for bringing us the awards, handling the voting and presentation and finding those pretty, pretty crowns!

Todd and Jerome for providing our means to boogie, along with Brian and Logan who did some last-minute scurrying to secure all the neccessary gadgetry.

Glenn for putting together NBR’s very own Shit Runners Say.

Anna McCusker for once again putting together our slideshow.

Gilly and her Achilles for bringing us some talented and some silly entertainment!

Brian Calavan for mercilessly collecting donations from latecomers!

And last but not least, Aja and Misha for their presentation of the merit badges and for, you know, being the reason we all were able to have this amazing night!

Thank you to anyone else who helped contribute to our event and anyone who showed up to celebrate this amazing group of people.  Happy Third Birthday North Brooklyn Runners! We’re already looking forward to our 4th birthday party, when we will travel back to the … disco era????

-Mishka
