Hot Stove Cool Music Charity Concert

January 15th there was a Charity Concert which was a roll over from the roundtable dinner the night before. I scored 2 free tickets to this event as well. When Ipswitch does something they don't go half way on something they go all the way with the saying "Go Big or Go Home." The tickets for the concert event included VIP pass. Which meant Mingling for 2 hours prior with food and open bar. The food was amazing. There were a variety of local restaurants that brought food in to sample some of their popular or new items to try and bring people to their restaurants.
This is a lobster roll and it was divine. My favorite item of the night was the rice balls. They looked like meatballs but it was rice on the inside. That came with a dish of eggplant Parmesan with marinara sauce drizzled over the rice balls. They were so good I went back for more. I don't like eggplant but this was so good you didn't even know it was eggplant. Okay so the rice balls and eggplant tied with the lobster rolls. They were both really good dishes and I went back multiple times for some.
Me and Judi (Judi is my co-worker Brian's Wife) We also got some frozen yogurt parfaits that were really yummy. Another place had these really cute bit size cupcakes and brownies. They were the perfect size so you could have more than one and try different flavors.
Estieven Sierra was my lucky friend for tonight.
Here is most of the gang from work. From Front left to right to the back.

Me, Monica and Johnny Ward
Johnny is the person who introduced me to Ipswitch. I am forever grateful for him getting me an interview with this amazing company.
One of the things auctioned off was a dinner with Kevin Youkilis one of the Red Sox players.
Bronson Arroyo graced us with his presents again tonight and he and his band performed. He has a really good voice and did an outstanding job performing.
Yes that is Bronson without his shirt on. Mike decided to auction Bronson's shirt right off his back.
The evening was a good time had. The entertainment was great and it was fun to hangout with my co-workers and have a good time outside of work. Thanks Ipswitch for providing such great opportunities.
