HP Store Vancouver's 1-year anniversary party on Alberni Street on December 1, 2011. Written by Christina Luo.


Canada's first-ever HP Store in Vancouver celebrated its first year anniversary with an intimate but entertaining gathering.

Rick and I got a little outrageous while taking our red (or blue) carpet photos.

Gender roles were clearly not an issue that night, as Rick donned a feather boa and I, a snazzy top hat.

My taste buds fell in love with these quail eggs topped with a bacon bit on a stick, especially after some bubbly champagne.


The two of us mixed, mingled, and experimented with the brand new spring notebook lineup.


We got up close and personal with a 3D NASA movie on a laptop. I was amazed. He was dizzy. (True story.)

We were convinced to enter the HP Makeover contest (blame the champagne) by submitting a video entry to garner the most votes. See ours below... watch mine and support the most awkward contest entry ever.
