Bringing Seattle to the Event

Local Tunes
Seattle band, Fruit Juice, cranked out music throughout the night.
Rock Out
DSquared Hospitality created a rockband-style poster touting the event and all of its sponsors.
Getting Inked
Temporary tattoos of the DSquared logo were a great way to broadcast the event host's brand.

A Taste of Seattle
Hama Hama local oysters on the half shell served with classic mignonette sauce and a selection of hot sauces were fresh, briny (due to the fall season), and delicious.

Repping The Destination
A bartender boasts a Hoh Rain Forest t-shirt—Hoh being one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S., located in western Washington on the Olympic Penninsula. And besides the cool tee-shirt, he also mixed really great beverages for the guests.
City Stickers
Band stickers were placed on tables and found their way onto shirts, foreheads, and more.
Flavorful Favors
A bread display in the market—guests could grab a loaf to bring home at the end of the evening.
