So it's no secret that I really wanted to try out the bike-powered margarita mixer at last night's Greendrinks. (For the exercise, of course.) But, sometimes life doesn't work out as planned.

As you can see, the bike was there at the new offices of ad agency SOAP, but it was experiencing technical difficulties. (Thank god such problems don't plague my cocktail shaker!) I did manage to sample one of the margaritas, despite the malfunctions, which helped curb my disappointment.

Speaking of SOAP, its new offices on Fore Street are the bomb! The space is the old home of Planet Dog and it features a fun mix of exposed brick and timbers, modern furnishings and punchy colors. It's a perfect environment for brainstorming creative marketing strategies for their green & socially minded clients.

The social networking event pulled in a wall-to-wall crowd. We drained the keg and drank all the beers generously provided by Peak Organic.

And I have to say that any party where a mime serves fresh cut vegetables rates highly in my book.
