First AR "Blog" Party: Halloween

And the party rolls on!

Via Mike Michaud (North Texas Help-U-Build):

Ok folks, its that time of year. Halloween. And what a great excuse to start a new "Blog" party group.

Party reviews are coming in: Ruth says: "HOW FUN IS THIS!!!"

Marie says: "Now this is just too much fun!"

A blog party is similar in concept to a progressive dinner party. Each course is held at someone else's home. In this case, each day of a party theme will be hosted by the last person to post on each day's party.

So, in the case of this AR Halloween party, the last person to post today will either reblog this party or create their own post and link back to this party. This will continue until midnight on Halloween.

Its a great viral way to mix things up, do some networking and have fun.

In order to participate, you MUST BRING SOMETHING to the party. What kind of guests don't contribute to a party?

So, in order to leave a comment, you have to bring something theme related. In this case, post your halloween pics, pumpkins, costumes, candy, party foods, music, entertainment, be the designated driver, whatever helps a party along.

No goodies to bring, no post. This is all about getting to know each other and doing some non-business related networking. (The business will follow).

For clarification: Don't repost this party unless you are the last one to post tonight by midnight. The last one to post tonight will be the party host tomorrow. Then the last to post on tomorrow's party will host the following day. And so it goes until Halloween! Sort of like a chain letter, only this one is just for fun!

P.S. Don't forget to join AR Blog Party. You can throw your own party for what ever reason you like! Celebrate milestones, Fridays, Closed deals, Holidays, Anniversaries, KWANSA, Saint Swithens day, anything you feel like celebrating and sharing.
