Wow. What a turnout for a rainy Wednesday (12.2.2009). Hosted an event with my friends from LastExit.tv (Paul, Nuri and Willie) in an attempt to share connectivity all at once as opposed to one e-troduction at a time. Worked! Thanks to John McDonald at the Merc Bar for the perfect space down in Soho (my full attendee list below).

Willie Mack from LastExit and I have traded many, many contacts and what started out as an idea for a dinner turned into something much larger. Merc Bar has a bunch of memories — my first business in NYC Oneworld had an office at 73 Spring Street — was a fav haunt of then partner/ad director Bill Gibson.
