MBIP Repeat: The Debut Of “Can I Eat My Lunch In Here?” @ Converse Marketing. Original Episode Date: December 4, 2014.

by MBIP


(I’m taking a break from the blog this week, so I’m featuring a repeat from the past all week long. The blog will be back “live,” next Monday, May 1st!)

I really don’t know why I started doing these, “Can I Eat My Lunch In Here?” posts, I just know that I don’t do them often because I dread doing them, but it always feels really good when it’s all over and I have something to show for my efforts. This was the first one I did and it was way more awkward than it even appears to be in the post.

I always wanted to go and take a look around in the Converse Marketing Building at the top of the hill on Main Street and that’s how the “Can I Eat My Lunch In Here?” idea was born. I thought I’d buy lunch, then see if I could eat it in their lunch room. After all, every business has a lunch room, right? So I got a sandwich at B Easy...

And then drove up the hill on Main Street to...

Converse Marketing. I’ve always loved the look of this building and wanted to go inside for a long time. This was finally my chance!

I went in and met Amy, the receptionist. It was really awkward asking to eat my lunch in there and she had to go ask someone if I could. This usually happens and even though it usually just takes a few minutes, it always feels like an eternity of awkwardness.

So was I able to eat my lunch in there? Well, if you missed this episode, click here and find out! I did get this cool book and some Christmas candy and the start to this very awkward MBIP series was born! We’ll see you all tomorrow!
