IT was packed. As over 50 of us took over the Union Square Lounge last night, we outdid the trendy nightspot (which was a bit too noisy) with all the good people and energy that showed up. We saw Nora, Cherie, Hushpuppie, Sonia, Tat, Patrick (the other one), Trish, Jamie Pup and his wife, Phyllis, Jimkk, Anne, Philip, Jash, Frank, New Tenant, Suzie, Amy, Sara, AL, Danae, and others who's names escape us right now (Jonathan's assumed name as well).
It was an absolute pleasure to meet many new faces, some of which are featured here in the very small slideshow (We really DO need a professional for these things, don't you think?). If you have a picture, send it in and we'll add it. This is the NY party thread post.
i'm so bummed i couldn't make it. looks like fun you guys!
d*s
In typical Matt fashion, I had a busy, blurred day and wound up home in the Bronx before realizing it was THE 9TH. So glad I can live vicariously through the photos, and hope to meet everyone in person soon...
Looks like fun, and thanks for the photos -- any chance of letting us out-of-towners in on who is who?
Goshdarn (for a lack of better words)!
Sara Kate (sker) = Hottie!"
Looks like a great time! More pictures please--and more reports comments from those in attendacne. You are quite an attractive bunch; I'm sure you had a lot to say. The LA party was bangin', btw. But I'll wait for Alec (who was an impeccable and charming host) to throw up a thread before commenting more on that. I'll just continue to rehydrate until then...
Wow I can see the photos on my crackberry! I love these things.
Mrs pup and I had a great time and along with catching up with the usual suspects it was a pleasure to meet new folks:
NT, pphillipp, trishm, kat, frank, philip, jash, guido, and of course jonathan who turned out to be a good looking and charming bloke with a beautiful baby (yes the big softy showed me pics).
Apologies to the new ppl I met who I left out.
Thank you Maxwell for arranging all of this.
Btw mrs pup did think I was the weird one when I told her my name part way through the evening. She enjoyed meeting others though.
Hey paul I saw you too but couldn't get over to you.
Looks like a great time. Dammit! Of all nights to have been glued to a desk chair.
I would have enjoyed meeting everyone. You're all so "cute". I must make the next party.
So Jonathan is a hottie afterall! So Jamie Pup says and I'm sure he has great taste.....
Any chance of names to go with the faces? I recognize P2, Maxwell and Sara Kate from other photos but it would be nice to know who everyone is.
Can we send in absentee photos? :)
For the curious, I'm the (when did I get so . . .) grey-haired guy talking to Maxwell in pics 2 and 3.
What a lovely group! I truly look forward to the next time!
It was a pleasure to meet everyone last night! I'm usually just a silent observer to this site but just wanted to say hi!
Frank - grey is good.
Frank--
Have I taught you NOTHING?!?!
It is SILVER hair. SILVER.
i'm in the "silver" group, too - but why does "silver-haired" always seem to beg to be followed by "grandfather"?
So sorry we missed the party, really wanted to meet all the NY ATers, but we were exhibiting at The Architectural Digest Home Show and the after party there was pretty crazy, but lots of fun.
Anne, your look great in the photo! It's such a pleasure having you work with us in our booth (she'll be with us all week).
If you get a chance to stop by the show, please do, there is alot of terrific, innovative design, as you saw in the video interview, lots of new exciting designers.Plus book signings by Jonathan Adler,Jamie Drake, Paige Rense and a bunch of other cool folks.
It's also a chance to see our 10ft Ping Pong Ball chandelier in the Beach Lounge and come visit us, Zia-Priven Design,at Space 635. We've got a bunch of great new stuff. I know, a shameless plug, but we really are excited about the new line and meeting the NY Group of ATers, as we are addicted to the site too!

Ok, guys. Grey/Silver. My husband was about as macho as one could be. And fabulous silver hair. A Park Ranger of all things. Georgeous. Nothing about him even hinted at grandfather and when he walked into a room even young, young women, and some guys, took more than a second look. It's presence. And silver hair with presence is hot, hot, hot.
Ok, so its not design oriented. But silver is hot.
Can I just say that this is like the 2nd or 3rd time I've been to an AT party without there being any photographic evidence that I exist? MAXWELL HATES ME! (sniff, sniff)
Ruth--
You were there? I didn't see you. ;)
pphillipp--
I usually follow it with "hot daddy." Well, used to. Now, I will follow jmarieb's most excellent lead and follow it with "hot park ranger." Daddy!
Okay, now I am OFFICIALLY unable to concentrate.
qawd you new yorkers are cute!
P2, i knew it b4, but damn!!!!
qawd you new yorkahs are cute!
P2, i knew it b4, but damn!!!!!!
who's the glamorous lady in purple, black, glasses?
eh, gawd that is, ok, posting while drunk + :-P sorry folks
Orange red--
Drunk or not (whom am I to judge), we always knew you had flawless taste. :)
You made my night/morning/day/week. Just when I needed it most.
And that photogenic high-style LOVELY is our very own (hilarious, talented, consummate hostess) "anne."
So fun to connect faces to familiar names. Glad you had a great time. Fantastic smiles!
Yes, silver is definitely HOT. Also love Yul Brenner-bald. Yes, the shaved bald look exudes such confidence.
Nice shot of the back of my head. Thanks for a fun party.
