Happy Halloween from Magento
It was all quiet throughout the offices of Magento, not even a mouse was stirring... wait, wrong holiday.
Our first official Halloween party at Magento's New Headquarters in Culver City -- and it was all spooky, weird and fun. There was a good turn out of people dressed in costumes.
Keren, our CFO and Magento Wonder Woman, opened up the floor for the lip-synching competition. The first team from professional services (David, Steve, Andrew, and Aaron) performed "I'll Make Love to You" by Boys II Men, followed by Indian musical performed by the Finance department (Keren, Shonnet, Efi, Aleza, Shaundra) with Richard as the lead man wearing a karate uniform. Udi and the angels (Tess, Shanon, Natalya) did a great reenactment of Charlie and the Angels and the Support Team (Sheila, RJ, Anthony) were in full force too -- performing "Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We think the most memorable performance was the Development Team (Dima, Anton, Sergey, Lindy, Tanya) performing Barbie Girl! Move those hips Anton.
After the performances, we headed down to some gourmet pizza and pumpkin carving. Several carvers were very much into their pumpkins. Shanon seemed to be having the most fun digging deep in her pumpkin and cleaning out the soft flesh and the seeds. Sergey, one of our developers, carved a pumpkin with Magento's logo. Turned out great. On the showcase table, there was a pumpkin throwing up, an owl sitting on a window, a spider web, and a howling man, among others.
