Welcome to our first Fall 2011 FWintern blog post!

We are all so excited to be out here and are quickly learning the ropes of the FW office. As the official ‘event blogger’, I have tons to share about the interns’ first event last night in West Hollywood!

Events are a great way for FW to reach out to local communities, in this case the greater LA area, and we had tons of fun. The event was at a gallery highlighting several different artists’ work with a few pieces made specifically for FW.

We had a great turnout and sold lots of whistles while mingling with the crowd. I’ve heard there is an event about once a week, so we are all excited to continue to get out and meet new people through FW.

After the event, an after-party was thrown for FW at Hemmingways Bar in Hollywood, so a couple of us headed over there to try and reach out to more people/sell more whistles. We had a little success there, talked with great people, and met Eric Balfour! He was the guest DJ at the bar and is a huge supporter of FW. We were introduced and, to quote my fellow intern Mackenzie, “it was lovely”.

I call that a great night.

After grabbing some late-night-grub down the street we headed back to our loft and got some sleep to be 100% ready bright and early today. Definitely a fun night and a super awesome start to the next few months!

See ya next time,

Meghan

The FWintern application said something along the lines of, “If you’re looking for the most down and out, upside down, never sleep or shower, work till you drop exhausting semester of your life; we are your people”.

Though it was a few days ago, Falling Whistles Day 1 went something like:

Oh, hey there Tumblr pals.

This marks our first Spotlight Sunday.  Each week I’ll be introducing you to another member of the fall FWintern family, and trust me, they cannot wait.  Tumblring is our jam, apparently.  Before we start those intros however, I think it’s necessary to introduce us as a whole.

Hi Friends!

I’m here to ask you those tricky questions that get you thinking and talking. I’m not a hundred percent convinced on my question-creating abilities but I do thoroughly enjoy asking lots of questions so lets hope I hit the mark.

So, before I get into those deep philosophical questions that get your brain ticking (I know, I’m really setting the bar high for myself!) I’ll start with you. Yes, you, my friend. Who are you? How are you? Try, maybe in a sentence or two, to fill me in. I’d love to know where you’re from, how you heard about Falling Whistles, what you’re passionate about. I’m sure we will be fast friends. 

I feel a little rude now not introducing myself, as I am asking you to do that for me. In a nutshell, I’m Harriet! I’m from New Zealand, where yes, we have lots of sheep and Flight of the Conchords was filmed. I discovered Falling Whistles through some good old internet trawling. I’m passionate about a few things but the thing that’s at the front of my mind at the moment is, most definitely, Peace in Congo. Let’s make it happen! 

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey y’all,

Last night was a big night for Falling Whistles – working two events in one night! One of the events was an incredible opportunity with Curve, a boutique that collaborated with Falling Whistles for L.A.’s Fashion’s Night Out.

I know that Meghan is the one who blogs about everything fun and exciting that we do in LA, but since she wasn’t at FNO, I figured I could give you all the rundown.

Hellooooo Tumblr! 

It’s time for my first real installment of Spotlight Sunday, and I’m going to test it out on myself.  No one else wanted to be my guinea pig for my first round of questions. FINE, TEAM. Actually, I wanted to make sure y’all were okay with my question choices before interviewing others. 

So. Without further ado… 

That’s me. Julia Bates. At the beach. Near home. You’re welcome, world.
