Here's what we did in previous months...
October, 2008
It was a very special evening at the Old City art galleries via a fun "scavanger hunt" that uses your cell phone number. Thanks to technology from Drexel grads who started SCVNGR, we split into teams of 6 to 10 people each (we mixed up the internationals with Philadelphians), and got clues as to where to go via our cell phones. All 75 received a "Philadelphia" gift, and the winning team got to enjoy Patou's wonderful ambiance and cuisine with $200 off their food & drink there.
