Redfin visits Whistler
After staying up almost all night releasing a new version of Redfin last Wednesday a group of us from Redfin headed to Whistler Thursday night. We were hoping to leave early but of course did not leave the city until 6 PM. Fortunately we made great time and got to Whistler in a record setting four hours. The next day we spent a great time on Whistler riding a ridge repeatedly off Peak chair. Of course the only reason some of us ride is for apres ski and at 4 PM we hit Merlins for round one of beers and nachos:
For round two we headed over to Merlins as we had ski in/out accommodations on Blackcomb. There we got round two or beers, nachos, wings and poutine.
Before:
Close to after:
Having sampled nachos across a wide variety of Whistler venues I have to say that GLC has the best quality and that Merlins has the most quantity.
Unfortunately having consumed so many nachos and beers our team was mostly asleep by 9 PM!
The next day was beautiful sunny day and we got some great runs in on Blackcomb. Here’s Brandon who is about to marry our marketing whiz, Ellie (I also happen to play hockey with him):
Later in the day we headed to Whistler where Donald had a nice jump:
And of course afterwards we headed to Merlins for two rounds of nachos:
We then ended the night with Sylvia’s Wii and Settlers of Catan.
A note to our investors: Don’t worry this was an employee paid for trip unlike our competitors Squaw Valley junket :).

Redfin games night
My mother is concerned about me:
Is it your intention to sound like a workaholic and an alcoholic on your website?
So it is with some trepidation that I’m going to blog about tonight’s game night at Redfin.
Why? It involved a keg of beer, a bottle of Knob, Trivial Pursuit, Settlers of Catan, cards, a Wii and Rock Band.
Sadly, no poker.
Nothing says workaholism and alcoholism than many hours in the office followed by drinking at the office.
But I’m just kidding. We work hard but nothing like the 80+ hours a week that investment bankers, lawyers and med school residents put in.
And I least I don’t have an OC-80 addiction! :)
Comments(1)What time is the show?
My biggest pet peeve with venues is that they don’t say on their website what time the acts come on at. At best all they give is the door time. Tonight I had a variety of conflicting plans and it would have been really helpful to know what time the Editors were playing at the Showbox.
In the past I’ve tried to do the math of figuring out when an act should come on only to miss them. The worst example of this was missing The Organ at the Crocodile a few years ago. Sadly, it was my one and only chance to see them in Seattle as the band is now no more.
Whistler.
Worked 55+ hours before EOD Thursday then hit Whistler. Made it in less than 4 hours. Skied some sweet lines today. Then hit GLC then Merlins for apres ski. Merlins nachos are at least 6″ deep. Now drunk.
