Palooza Unplugged Rocks The Place
Version 3.5 of Boston Sports Blogapalooza, Palooza Unplugged, rocked The Place in Boston this past Saturday. Over 75 New England Sports bloggers, media members (including CSNNE’s Jessica Camerato & Chris Price & Trags From WEEI), fans & companies converged on 2 Broad Street for day of networking, sports talk, drink & WICKED AWESOME Palooza Raffle Prizes.
Palooza Unplugged participants were excited to talk to our sponsors, Fanatics & PlayUp. Fanatics shared ways that bloggers could monetize their content by selling officially licensed sports merchandise. They also gave away some great Boston sports gear that people were stoked to win!
PlayUp preformed demos of their free sports fan interaction application. Want to trash talk someone during a Cricket match or NFL game? Yep, PlayUp has the app for that!
People were also rockin’ FanFeedr badges and lanyards to let the world know that they were a blogger and DAMN proud of it!
After some mouth watering food and tasty beverages from The Place, Palooza Unplugged winded down with some WICKED AWESOME Palooza Raffle Prizes. People walked away with Patriots and Red Sox tickets, an overnight stay at the Cranmore Mountain Lodge, passes to F1 Braintee and much, much more!
This dude won a few MILLION times…..
In closing, we want to thank EVERYONE especially the Palooza Prep Squad which included Joe Gill, Carl Desberg, Anthony DeRoche & Rich Nashawaty (who we found outside the Place just hanging around).
Here is some of the social media chatter regarding Palooza Unplugged:
