Last night we once again crossed the Rubicon, going LIVE from ONLINE and the resuts were.... terrific. While things started calmly enough, the main room at DWR Tribeca was packed at 8:15 and close to 200 people came through during the course of the night.

It was particularly fun to meet AT people for the first time and then try to figure out their online names. Heated discussions swirled around WHICH types of people capitalize the letter of their name and which don't.

Sharon wins!

A highlight to the evening was when Sharon Crenson won the big raffle prize. After her amazing wet dreamy experience with HGTV, her scandalous post last week, her luck just kept rolling.
