One of the best parts about doing PR is building relationships with editors. Since many of our BLASTmedia clients fall under the technology category, we work with a variety of tech editors on both the consumer and enterprise side of things. We have a long-standing relationship with the guys over at CrunchGear and are fortunate to get to hang out with them throughout the year at various tradeshows and events. So when we heard one of our faves, Peter Ha, was coming to Indianapolis with his brother for the MotoGP event, we quickly set up plans for a night out in Indy with the Ha brothers. (Side note: Peter will now be working for Time.com – exciting!)
Ashley, Hillary and I met Peter and John downtown and started off our adventurous evening downtown, at Chatham Tap, a popular pub on Mass Ave. After dinner, we ventured to several other Indy hotspots, like The Rathskeller biergarten and the Subterra Lounge.
We know our editor friends always have a lot of invites to parties, drinks and dinners while at various events, so we always love it when they choose to hang out with us! We think it’s a combination of the great work we do (and how we make their jobs easier)…plus our good looks and killer dance moves, of course. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll score an invite to our next BLAST meetup!

John and Hillary – not exactly sure what’s going on in this one.
