On August 21, 2010, an audience appreciation party was thrown at Neon Forest Art Gallery by the Orlando Improv Festival. The All Access Pass Holders received their official pass, a swag bag full of great coupons and deals from local businesses (see below for full list), a free glass of wine and a free fruity jello shot. Everyone at the party was treated to a small buffet of free humorous knosh like fried mac & cheese pops and bacon-wrapped matzah balls.
