Was fortunate enough to attend the launch of Do (dough) at the View on Saturday. Fortunate being used loosely here because it exceeded my expectations. Well, there were more people than anticipated, well dressed black people (which is not often a good thing), celebrities in the like of Frank Ski making speeches and all, plus my personal favorite...free booze.
I would like to say I had fun but it was only just. Events like these are not good solo adventures because they turn out to be so stuffy. The invite on Yelp was not as enthusiastic as the event turned out to be. Only 5 people RSVP'd to the event, then, there was no mention of a dress code or red carpet entrance, most importantly, it gave us a different start time than was initially planned. By the time I got there the celebrities and their friends had finished all the free food samples they passed around. We were thus left to the T-shirts and (my personal favorite) free booze. This last part saved the evening. Only just!
I must also mention two other extreme highlights - the use of iPads by the servers and an iPad in the restroom just so Photobooth can capture you in your private moment. Classy stuff!
