Google Party Pix
Now, who would have guessed Google would throw a party? :-) It was a very cool wing-ding last night, at least for those in the know here at the Travel 2.0 event -- that is, it wasn't an official event. The venue was the Roosevelt Hotel, just a couple blocks away on Hollywood Boulevard. Very cool, retro place. They don't build 'em like this anymore! I shot some pix on the way over (handheld without flash, so excuse the shakiness), including the lights at Graumann's Theater and the El Capitan across the street. I took the rest of the shots around the pool where the party was held. The two guys shown, who I tipped a couple with, are Josh Steinitz, founder of San Francisco-based The Nile Project (also a surfer!) and Pasadena-based angel Mark Harris....my favorite nephew.
Speaking of Hollywood Boulevard, that reminds me of how bummed I still am to have missed Lou Reed last week at the Web 2.0 Summit in SF. One of my favorite tracks of his is "The Dirty Boulevard" -- which this street sure is (but you don't notice it at night). No wait..."Busload of Faith" is my favorite...no, wait....
