IYE: Pumpkin Carving Happy Hour at Fire + Ice

Its a pumpkin carving party!
Thanks to Ryan C. and intern Jeni for setting up this awesome event for Unilocalers! We were treated to not only carving our own pumpkins with handy tools and pumpkin design stencils, but we also got to sample the happy hour menu at Fire + Ice!
Some of the Unilocalers got creative with their pumpkin designs and created their own designs. I ended up making a bunny pumpkin with buck tooth and I even bought my bunny ears to add to it! Everyone did such a great job with the pumpkin carving. I especially adored Kevin N’s Mickey pumpkin, the Unilocal pumpkin, Kathy’s Keroppi, and Sidney’s one-​eyed monster. Ryan even used our pumpkins as decorations during the Unilocal Monster Mash party! Unfortunately, our pumpkins were stolen by the end of the night and all our hard work was gone, so to whoever took our pumpkins I seriously hope you enjoy them because it took us over one hour of hard work! :(

Great event Jeni, You rock!
(We already kinda knew it, but now it’s a good time to say it again)
This was my 1^st attempt of a Jack-​o-​lanter
Not too bad… lol
not artwork either…
Thank you so much for such a wonderful event, really well organized, and super safe Ryan and Jaime were the DC (designated cutters)
Great HH, Yummy cocktails, pumpkins and carving «weapons»
what else can I ask during this time of the year???
Kudos to Ryan, Jeni and Jaime!
Fun times =)

Pumpkin carving and happy hour! Found out, they go together :)
First time carving and I really enjoy it! The place was nice and the event was well organized. Thanks Jeni and Ryan.

woooooo carving and pulling out guts. i didnt realize how hard it is to carve a pumpkin. doh…

Spooky Jack-​o-​lanterns, a lot of fun, good food and beers! Have to come back for that Mongolian Wok, looks great!

This was a fun, well organized IYE!
Jeni was a great hostess, making everyone feel welcome and provided plenty of positive feedback about our carving skills, keeping our self esteem high!
Ryan was his usual awesome self — working hard making sure everything (and everyone) was well taken care of.
It was nice to see what Fire and Ice was all about. Service was friendly, they extended happy hour for us; no problem getting another round a minute before HH time was up!
I believe Fresh and Easy donated all the pumpkins — Much appreciated.
Carving tools, trash bags, carving patterns and Unilocal goodies were all set up for us.
We stayed traditional with our pumpkin — it was fun to check out other’s creations, which is mostly why we were there!
A good warm up for the huge event coming up –Thanks Jeni and Ryan.

Yay! Nothing beats carving pumpkins during Halloween!
I usually try to carve a pumpkin every halloween and Unilocal did me a huge favor by setting up an event for it! Kudos to Jen (OC’s new intern), Ryan, and Fire and Ice for hosting the event!
As for carving the pumpkins, I made my own little mickey concoction with the help of Jen and it turned out great! A couple of notables include Shanon’s bunny, Roy’s self portrait, Kathy’s kerropi and a Jack Skeleton pumpkin!
Shout out to other fellow Unilocalers such as Thinh, Linh, Cece, Sidney, Jaime, Nitar, and many others.
Overall, it was a fun night and I’m super excited to see my pumpkin on display for the Unilocal Halloween party!
