In conjunction with a tweet up, Zappos held the final table of their poker tournament at the Inn Zone. Over the last several weeks, employees have been playing several qualifying tables in order to make it to the final table. This was the 2nd poker tournament Zappos has held.

There was a good crowd of Zappos employees at the Inn Zone cheering them on. Joe A., who was the runner up in the last event, was able to outlast everyone else and take home the trophy. Congratulations Joe!

Take your Kids to Work Day!

Yesterday was "Take you kids to work day" at Zappos. We had over 80 kids visit the office for this years event and we prepped all of them for their future of becomming great Zapponians by having them decorate cookies, play card games, and screaming contests - you know, all the basics that every Zapponian needs to know.

And in honor of "bring your kids to work day," the kids teams did a "peanuts" parade complete with snoopy and woodstock masks and roasted peanuts.


A big thank you to all the Zappos employees who help out, and made it a fun and exciting day for the kids.

Thursday was a very exciting day here at Zappos, we had World Series Of Poker Winner, Phil Hellmuth, in the office for a tour!! Help desk coordinator extroirdannaire, Anne , is an avid poker player and a huge fan of his. Anne plays Texas Hold 'Em throughout the week on the Net and usually every other weekend at the casinos, so today was a HUGE day for her! When Phil came by our row on the tour, Donavon brought him back & introduced her to Phil. I have never seen anyone turn so red in my life!! He was very sweet and took a picture with our own in-house poker star :)
