Beth Harbison

Beth Harbison and me!

Last night I was so excited to win tickets from Guest of a Guest for an event going on in Georgetown. It was called Champagne and Chocolate. Obviously, who wouldn't want to win tickets? The event was taking place at BCBG and was supposed to have endless champagne, a book signing with Beth Harbison, gift bags worth over $175, a premiere of the new Fall line and free appetizers! I was so excited I brought my friend Nicole and looked forward to an amazing evening.

Boy was I wrong.

BCBG didn't order the books in time so there were no books for the signing (embarassing!), there were 5 bottles of champagne, a plate of cheese and crackers, no gift bags and a lot of unhappy customers. Oh, and no new "Fall line". The entire event was a bust. Nicole and I were rather disappointed but made the best of it. We ended up just wandering around Georgetown and shopping. Yay!

Then, this morning, I woke up to an email from Guest of a Guest apologizing for the event. They were under the impression it would be much better and thanked me for not being upset. Sophie, from Guest of a Guest, was awesome and I was so happy to receive her email. Although the event was kind of a bust, at least we had fun and I know there are people out there who still have great manners/ customer service/ whatever you want to call it.
