Hello party goers! This is shaping up to be quite an event. Between all the coverage from yesterday's announcement, a higher than expected RSVP rate to our invite, and the GDC being in town -- we've got a ton of people coming. More than we really planned on, but we've got help! Cannonball Wines is bringing a ton of wine, Ty Ku is bringing sake and soju, Nom Nom Catering will be providing tasty tidbits, and of course our lovely flight crew will attend to your every need. So everything's ready, all we need is you!  Directions:

1. Go to 255 King St (next to Caltrain)
2. Unhelpfully, there are multiple doors all labeled 255 King; go to the biggest -- the main Avalon entrance, about 100 feet east from the intersection of 4th and King
3. Go to the front desk and say you're there for the Expensify party; they'll point you to the elevators -- head to the 19th floor.
4. There *might* be a bit of a wait in the lobby, because there are capacity limits on the top floor and -- amazing as that sounds -- we might hit them. In that case we'll try to provide some drinks downstairs to pass the time.

The party starts at 7:30 and will go to the last drop; come when you're able. Thanks, I can't wait to see you soon!

Update: Whoa, this is starting to grow into a serious event.  We're amassing a decent guest list -- 50:50 Expensify users and silicon-valley movers and shakers.  To reflect this I've upgraded the title from a modest birthday party to the much more ostentatious "Expensify Mile High Party!"  And what better way to relive the glory days of business travel than with our very own flight crew of vintage pin-up fight attendants circling the crowd and serving drinks?  Come join us -- it's the quickest way to first class!

Update: Cannonball Wine -- an early Expensify customer -- has graciously donated 3 cases of their luscious cabernet sauvignon to the party.  Thanks a million Greg.  And to everyone else: come help us drink it!

Expensify came out of hiding one year ago to the day.  It's been a long and exciting 12 months, and the best part has always been you -- our users.  Please join us for drinks in our first-class Expensify lounge, high atop the Avalon building overlooking San Francisco from our rooftop penthouse.  

We'd love to shake your hand in person* and thank you for all your support, enthusiasm, and -- at times -- patience on the long road from there to here.  We'd also like to give you a front-row seat as we unveil some fantastic new enhancements that should make your next expense report faster, take fewer clicks and, dare I say, be more fun than ever before?

Please RSVP above with Yes, Maybe, or No, depending on which suits you best.  Everything's free, we're just looking for a sense of who intends to show up.

Thanks, I can't wait to put a face to the email address, and to raise a toast to our common cause: expense reports that don't suck!
