2005-9_23_ATPARTyyY (13).jpgWhat a great party! Thanks to everyone who showed up to support us.

Not only is everyone in Los Angeles so incredibly nice that giving a party here from 3,000 miles away was easier than trying to pick up your dry cleaning after work on 6th avenue, people came out of the woodwork to meet us and meet one another.

We were pleased as punch with how many people showed up (@50) and even more impressed by the warm feeling that permeated the room. It reminded us of how absolutely important it is to be LIVE in this world, even when your business is online. We'll be working on the next party, and, in the meantime, here are a few pics we remembered to take:
