IT ALL HAPPENS the same night for some reason, but I managed to get to two of Silicon Alley's top new media events last night. (It was GR8T getting to see everyone).
Starting out at Stephen King's Virtual Growth Inc. (http://www.virtualgrowth.com) party was a revitalizing remix. "The Man" himself (my favorite virtual accountant Steve) says there's music going on all the time. It's true, and obviously works 'cause I've heard nothing but raves from various client firms--an impressive list to say the least. Steve echos this by saying, "If you want to see the hottest stuff going on in the industry, check out our client list." Their second annual spring party was held in conjuction with Daedulus (http://www.npsa.com) at their offices, peppered with lush plants and fabulous food. I also liked the inline skates nestled next to the BNA tax payroll guide on the bookshelf, and the WebTV demo by Rich Santalesa. I got to catch up with Druce Vertes of StreetEye (http://www.streeteye.com), Ted Werth of Primary Group (http://www.primarygroup.com) and Andrew Gelman, counsel at NBC. I tried on Greg Ellin's rockin' padded Silicon Alley-to-Silicon Valley motorcycle jacket by FirstGear. Listening to great jazz by the Rob Garcia Trio, there was a mini Skidmore Theater Department alum reunion between myself, Craig Zolan, and Mike Winston.
The party was still going strong when I left after an impromptu card trick performed by Michale Chaut.
EDITED:
IT'S THE SOCIAL SEASON in Silicon Alley. E-mail boxes stuffed to the gills with invitations. Racing from loft to brewery in the same night. Ah, to be young and wired (or wireless, as the case may be). Out intrepid social diva Courtney Pulitzer is run ragged these days by the party circuit, but we know you enjoy her @The Scene reports. This week, the column picks up its first sponsor, and it's a perfect tie-in for those of us sick of the stale Cheetohs and flat seltzer that masquerades as finger food at too many new media bashes: Neuman & Bogdonoff Caterers aim to be Silicon Alley's top caterer and we're happy to help them through @The Scene. On a more serious note, we examine the future of the World-Wide Web Artists Consortium as its works on its first formal bylaws. Anyway you slice it, there's plenty happening in this week's issue:
