This domino originally started in Topple #0000001 - The Topple for Spreading the Word About Domino Theory. However, on Topple Two Night, it was used while buying dinner for a stranger. That person has now registered the domino, and I will talk to them about keeping it going or converting it to a #0000002 Domino.

My wife and I were eating dinner at the Mountain Sun. We live in Fort Collins and had come down to pick up some things from REI and decided to go have a beer and some food in downtown Boulder. Towards the end of our meal, our server came by and took the tab, I assumed that either he had forgotten to put something on the tab or my wife had decided to pay the tab. After a few minutes I asked my wife if she had paid for the tab and she said no, so I assumed that he was adding up the bill and coming back with the total. When he came back he asked if there would be anything else, and when we told him no, he informed us that someone had picked up our tab and introduced us to the domino. He tried to give us the rundown on how it worked but he wasn't entirely sure and recommended we check out the website and decide for ourselves. Not quite sure what to make of it, I hailed him back over to our table to have him explain it one more time, and to find out if the tip had been included by our generous tab payer. We in turn tipped our waiter and proceeded to leave in a somewhat confused manner, but very interested in bringing this phenomenon to Fort Collins. So, to the generous tab payer, thanks for the act of kindness and know that it will be continued.

Ashley and I went to the Mountain Sun on East Pearl. As we started scouting the restaurant for recipients, I noticed a couple with a young son PLAYING WITH DOMINOS at a booth nearby! If that wasn't a sign then I don't know what is, and Ash and I just had a good feeling about it in general. We told the waiter our plan and watched him take care of the bill. We could tell that the family was surprised and excited, looking around to see who paid for it. Our waiter told the manager what we were doing, and they thought it was such a great idea that they comped my beer! It was a lot of fun picking out the people and anticipating their reaction. We'll definitely do this again in the future. Can't wait to see if they claim the domino.

I first heard of the idea for Topple Two night at the Domino Award celebration, then further promoted in a Topler ideation meeting held at Applied Trust. I think it's an excellent way to show people a little kindness goes a long way.

This domino was created to help spread the ideas of Domino Theory and lead to 1 million more topples being created.
