being in town and it
just being a banner day for (birthday)parties, then you've got the
makings of a short
novel/cyber column.
You only turn 35
once, right? So its only befitting to have a big party with all your
friends and
colleagues. Well, World, David Blumenstein turned 35 on Sunday,
February 7th and
celebrated in style at Lola with about 100 of his closest friends.
Check out all the
pictures compliments of Dennis Sheil, who stole my seat, but
apologized profusely
after being made aware of his mistake. Entirely forgive (I was
jumping around too
much anyway). http://www.gonif.com/people/dscf1/990207 Bonnie
Halpern was
stunningly elegant in a black velvet strapless gown, Tery Spataro was a
magnetic as ever,
Jesse Erlbaum of Vanguard Media was his polite, intelligent and
conversational self
and Ross Von Burg was as enthusiastic about his new video
performance space and
group as ever. Ross's non-profit art gallery "Smack, Mellon
Studios" in
DUMBO (Brooklyn) is 4 stories and 15,000 square feet with 40' ceilings.
Zounds! Katie Lukas,
Mike Gannon, Jodie Kahn (24/7), Manos Megagiannis
(TeKnowledge) and
Katie Scheding all also came out to cheer on a good friend and
seasoned
programmer/hacker/Alleyer. Here's to many more!
