In 2007, two best friends Jonathan Bricklin and Franck Raharinosy had a crazy idea"to get so good at ping pong that they could compete in the Olympics. So, they did what any future Olympian would obviously do"throw a party! The parties drew in an eccentric range of people from all walks of life, including Jimmy Buffett, Owen Wilson, Marty Reisman, 50 Cent and Salman Rushdie. The diversity of the crowd fueled the fun and vibrant energy that remains the essence of SPIN today. #unitedbypingpong
