The first week of December was usually the annual King James Xmas party - a raucous affair with tequila & a dress-up theme. As the Atmosphere team, we had 2x YE parties - our second agency get-together was the “not-the-Xmas party” and a pool party at Nicola’s house. This year we gathered again -a mix of Atmospherians from more than a decade ago to the ones who are now with the big A. We braai’ed and chatted about the old days. And didn’t even get to the pool party bit.
