		<description><![CDATA[Claris Networks' continues the tradition of super fun Christmas parties... this year featuring a ping-pong tournament and some RockBand goodness.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3260" border="0" alt="IMG_3260" align="left" src="http://thealbinobowler.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/IMG_32601.png" width="141" height="372" />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Anyone who has ever been around our company or stopped by our offices knows that Claris Networks has a very unique culture and atmosphere.&#160; We pride ourselves in being a light-hearted and fun place to work… and quite frankly our Christmas parties reflect that as well.&#160; This year we did things slightly different and had the get together at our offices; oh, and we had a ping-pong (sorry Andy; “table tennis”) tournament and RockBand throw down.&#160; Yeah… that’s how we roll.&#160; <img src='http://thealbinobowler.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#160; Obviously the Albino Bowler wasn’t missing out on what was quite possibly the best Christmas Party ever.</p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160; The ping-pong tournament turned out to be a wild success.&#160; It was a single elimination tournament and then the final two played to the best of three games.&#160; Much to <a href="http://thealbinobowler.com/index.php/tag/zac-mckinney/">Zac’s</a> dismay, the tournament came down to a tale of two Daves… David Stilwill and Dave Sagraves, with Sagraves taking the top title and walking away with the prize money.&#160; Make no mistake though, it was an intense battle all the way to the top; with Jay Norris even breaking out his table tennis alter-ego, Arlandro; complete with headband and sunglasses.</p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160; If you weren’t playing ping-pong or out on the porch, chances are you were engaged in an epic game of RockBand.&#160; This particular video game has been a part of our company’s culture for a while and this is actually the second appearance it has made at a Claris Christmas party.&#160; It seemed that the second go around people were a lot less shy about grabbing the microphone and belting out some lyrics… which always makes the experience more entertaining.</p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160; All in all I think everyone, including the Albino Bowler, had an awesome time at the get together.&#160; The food was awesome, the entertainment was great, and best of all we all got the chance to hangout and goof around for several hours.&#160; Good times indeed.&#160; </p>
<p>Have a Merry Christmas everyone!</p>
