They
say if the music's too loud, then you’re too old. Well, if you were one lucky
attendees that partook in Iconocast's WebAttack wild Broadway extravaganza then
you definitely aren't too old. Despite the grueling pace we're in, if you took
a moment, lifted your head from the whirlwind and noticed the energies about,
you'd get so enthused you'd have to kick off your shoes, jump on the stage and
dance right in the Gospel choir too as Michael saved some old marketers.
Michael Tchong, donned in an all-white suit and white alligator shoes led the
choir and the Broadway show-slash-conference.
Don't
fret, though. You might catch a curtain call of this command performance
tomorrow if you're lucky. RuPaul also performed, but later, and differently. At
the post-conf party on Thursday, June 8 all I hear were raves amidst the
dancing--and boy they were dancing too. Xmarks the spot videos showed and
Michael glowed (in his orange Chinoiserie jacket). Mark Jeffrey introduced me
to Laurence Roth (COO) of SuperSig.com and Juli-Ann Natiuk of AudioBase came up
and introduced herself to me. Meanwhile Michael and Beth Weintraub (art icon,
Iconocast), Dara Tyson (Penton Media) and Mark Seago (eWonders) and I boogied
to disco tunes. The China Club part of the evening ended at 10:00 PM and then
the wild giddy days of day camp came back to visit me on the WiseAds bus tour
part of the evening began. Three double-decker buses carried several hundred
screaming partiers to one of six clubs. Dara, Mark and Jennifer Koster
(director, Ten Dots) and I kept wondering if these were the newly banned former
Big Apple Tour buses recently part of a city scandal. WiseAds employees threw
candy at us and there were bags of chips available late-night munchies. The
buses took everyone around to one of the clubs; you could redeem one of your
six drink tickets till 3:00 am when the party line ended. On the way to our
first stop Lonny Paul of Miami-based TigerDirect.com proudly boasted how he won
$100 by having RuPaul mount him on stage at the China Club party earlier. That
wasn't the raciest act, though, apparently someone else dropped his pants and
put his head on "her" breast too!
