Breaking down the Virtual Wall: USS Tallinn Facebook Party!


Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a bunch of Facebook friends over for a party? 

Ambassador Levine did and he decided to make that idea a reality! 

Yesterday, he hosted his Facebook Friends Party, designed to “break down the virtual wall.” 

The Ambassador, hundreds of his friends and embassy staff were on hand at the Seaplane Harbor for a night of fun. There was music from a local band, "Jats," that the Ambassador first met through Facebook, a live Instagram feed for guests to post their #usstallinn photos, and the world-famous Titanic Exhibition, which was in part sponsored by the embassy.  

Even the nametages had a Facebook theme! Everyone wore a name tag with space for their "status," and they were invited to "Share" their status at the end of the night on a poster to commemorate the event. 

All this took place in the cavernous space that is the Seaplane Harbor museum, which boasts hundreds of maritime pieces and ships. Those of us from the embassy had a great time at this unique event and we hope you did too!
