The grown-up handbook says that when you become a responsible adult, playtime is over.
Well that’s just not fair.
Luckily, Forward Motion realizes this, and so they hosted a pop-up ‘ball pit bar’ event in San Francisco that let all the kids-at-heart guests go back to their Chuck E Cheese days and play in colorful balls. Except this time there was alcohol involved, of course.
Forward Motion founder Ryan Lum said it wasn’t easy, but totally worth it. “It took a little over a year to actually make it happen as the biggest obstacle was trying to raise enough money to purchase 40,000 ball pit balls. After several crowdfunding attempts, I decided to just start selling tickets to [the] event that didn’t even exist.”
He also said the party was a huge success, and attendees made it even more fun than he imagined. “One of the bartenders tossed a small green plastic turtle into the ball pit and announced that if anyone found it, they would get a free shot. It was also hilarious to see everyone dancing the Macarena, singing singing the Backstreet Boys, having ball fights with the upstairs crowds, forming conga lines, and [playing] a limbo game.”
Everyone had a great time, and Lum is hoping to expand to other cities soon so we can all jump in on the fun.
My inner-child is screaming with joy.
