[Zurich] Ehsaan's Mid-Week-Party 1-Year Party

Ehsaan's next Wednesday party:
Ehsaan does these party every Wednesday, at the West-Side Cafe. Check out it out on the Member-Activities section.

Reviews of the previes Wed-night-party:

Ehsaan has been doing his mid-week parties in Zurich for past year, with a big '1-year anniversary' party last night. I headed down to Zurich to join it...WHAT A NIGHT!!!

I've been to a few of E's mid-week bashs, but this one was the best. Here's what was there:

  • Most importantly: a super friendly glocals spirit. I really felt I could walk around and speak with people, and I saw others doing the same. It was amazing.
  • Around 100 people, all glocals. What a great crowd!
  • Welcomers who approached people at the door with smiles and name stickers
  • Tombola prizes, with prizes of Champagne and Holmes Place memberships
  • Great music.
  • Excellent speach by E, where he explained why he does these parties. This guy has a heart as big as a house (which offsets one of his other main organs, which is tiny).

All in all, a great night. Thanks a lot Ehsann bro.

Post 1
Thanks for this post Nir. Probably this is going to be a long and happening discussion coz I am sure people will be dying to write something about the super cool mid-week party.

Yes, I was there at the gates initially and was quite enjoying the duty.. as I get to meet the guests first, which is wonderful. And the gorgeous lady with me did a fabulous job. I am new to glocals and find the fantastic spirit in place to every hangout I have been to, which forces me to be in the next meet as well... and in the process, no time to sleep. No compaints but :).

As said, the surprises had been very well planned and came out in the right time. Cheers to Ehsaan for planning things so meticulously... but about his organs :P.. am not too keen, but hold your breath.... we have lots of pics coming up.

Yo Prit,

If the ambience last night was so good (which I felt too), I think it's E's spirit spreading around. The guy is just a friendly guy, and people get that vibe off him. That, together with you Welcomers, and super friendly guests, made it so good.

Oh boy! What a night!

I would first like to apologize (in public since 21000 people are gonna read this) for not registering and showing up with 3 guys.:crying: My mistake. Next time I will register first!

I must admit, this was one of the BEST nightouts I've had since I arrived in Zurich and that too on a Wednesday! :w00t:

The free drinks, the great people at the door, the name tags, the surprises, the prizes was simply perfect. What more could you ask for?

Hats off to you Ehsaan for doing such a wonderful job. You are simple great. I never figured out what keeps you going, but last night after that little speech, I have to say without you it would not have been the same. You welcome people and make them feel at home! :)

Keep the good work going and I promise, I will help you out in welcoming people.

Thanks once again!
Al

Photos from the Zurich Party are online: http://www.glocals.com/Gallery/gallery.aspx?GalleryID=695 

-------------------------------------------------

Big Congrats Ehsaan!!!

Sounds, and looks, like I missed out on a great evening in Zurich...

Most people have no idea how much time and effort you put into these parties, and all just because you like to see people meeting new people and having a good time.

So thanks alot bro, and keep waking Zurich up

Yes! I agree he puts in a lot of time and effort, but even when stressed, he always has a BIG smile on his face which is so impressive. Wonder how he does that.

Ehsaan, are you gonna share the secret? :P

Everyone has to make choices in their lives and after a while you realize if it was a good one or not... well i have to say that joining glocals and coming to this party was one of the best choices i have ever made :D

The party was awesome and i haven't seen so many smiling faces for long time, i got a really big positive charge from last night but i guess i will have to come and recharge next Wednesday :P

Thank you so much Ehsaan for doing this ... all my thumbs up :hehe:

Ehsaan's mid week party was just WAY TOO GOOD for a MID week party :D

What a groovy night, Westside Cafe is such a great venue, Claudio (the owner) is a really warm and friendly host which added together with Ehsaan's energy and zest for life makes for a pretty awesome basis for a wicked night out.  Then add the gorgeous spicy mix of glocals gently simmer in some exotic cocktails, throw it all together with some funky tunes and the steamy atmosphere soon reaches fever pitch.

Thanks to you Ehsaan for making these nights happen, you are a super star ;)  Life in Zurich would be less colourful without you!

Guys!! I am so overwhelmed!!

Thank you so much for all the positive and nice review! This just adds to my energy and motivates me to do more!

First things first..I would like to thank all the volunteers from the bottom of my heart for helping me out. Without you guys it would have not been possible to have such an awesome party.

NataschaH & MaritM: Thank you very much for arriving even before I did.
you girls did a fantastic job. Natascha, thanks for all you positive energy, creativity with the BALLoons and all your help. Marit, thanks for being a tough bouncer! You did a great job at the door. Your smile helped people to break the ice

Prit_n & Rocc: Thanks for arriving early and troubling your lungs to pump up the air in the balloons! You guys did a great job in welcoming, tagging and getting the people drunk ;)

I would also like to thank all those 100 or more people for attending and making this party lively! Special thanks to my 3 guests who made it down all the way from Geneva!

I would like to thank Westside and Holmes place for sponsoring the prizes for the tambola!

It was a long evening...4 volunteers and myself were at the bar at 5pm (ok, I was 35 mins late)..by 8pm, the bar was full and the spirits of glocalers were at their best..The music was simply great and so many people wanting to dance...we partied until 2pm, heading to our regular "refuelling" spot to grab some pastas and pizzas and kebabs!

I must admit, this was one of my greatest and the grooviest parties, I have ever organized...

Thanks to you all glocalers for making this event a wonderful and successful event!

Many more to come!!

Cheers
Ehsaan

PS: Nir, you can ask around about my organ. You'll get confirmation it's bigger than yours! :w00t:

Great party!! Thanks Ehsaan and everybody who was there to make the night such a good one! Thanks to glocals I've been making some new friends and a few I even crossed in the street or Migros. I'm sure you understand how it feels to be quite unknown here and suddenly see someone you actually know :-)))

Hey Gaby! Thanks for the review. I totally understand the feeling when you see someone you actually know.

That is where Glocals and these Wednesday nights come into picture. Its not about the other expat websites where you meet at the events for a drink or something. WE all at glocals (including you and me) believe in creating the "EXPAT FAMILY" and you statement only proves it right..

Many more to come...

I would like to thank all of you who attended and also wrote a review about it.

Cheers
Ehsaan

I LOVE that picture, Ehsaan honey I see you in a whole new light!  Here, less like Travolta and more like Elton (I think he has a small organ too......hehehehe).  How about doing the "crocodile rock" this weekend???:D

Hiya folks,

I have been organizing the midweek drinks in the name of Wednesday Night Fever (WNF) for a year and this Wednesday we just celebrated the 1st anniversary.

These meets are now more like an "expat family" get together and I would like to rename it to something more friendly, since the whole idea of these evenings is  "THE MOST FRIENDLY PARTY IN TOWN" where everybody can walk in an talk to EVERYBODY (since the entire bar is just for us and all glocalers in there)without any hesitation.

I would like you guys to come up with suggestions/ideas for the new name!

Who is going to take the lead?

Here is the link
