We had a lot of fun solving the mystery of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and escaping the Hydeout at Mission Escape. We only had one hour to solve the mystery, and we did it in a record time of 45 minutes. Not easy, but that’s what happens when Ad Clubbers get together and work as a team!

Then we celebrated with a happy hour at Harvest. A fun night all around! Good connections were made, and the quote of the evening is “I don’t get any business sitting on my couch!” (Thanks, Charmaine Seavy of CV Media, Inc.)
