It was standing room only for last night’s meet and greet with Gary Vaynerchuk, who was at the Borders in Columbus Circle to sign copies of his book, “Crush It”. Afterwards, guests including Richard Blakeley and David Karp were invited to headupstairs to the Clo Wine Bar for prosecco, which seems fitting for an event for everyone’s favorite internet wine critic.

Members of APrivateClub gathered at the Library at the Hudson Hotel last night at the Hudson Hotel to celebrate the launch of “American Hotel Stories” published by Assouline. Partygoers sipped on Absolut cocktails and mingled while others played pool and flipped through the new hotel bible.

[Bring on the Lone Star!]

Go HERE for more photos by ALISON NARRO and TAG YOURSELF and YOUR FRIENDS!

What happens when you mix an open bar with hundreds of Tumble-geeks, (and a couple of Tumblettes)?  Well, it ‘aint pretty.  Last Sunday, Tumblr threw a party in Austin Cedar’s Bar in honor of SXSW and we are still coming off from the buzz.  With the favorable guy-to-girl ratio (about 10 to 1), we had more than enough opportunity to mingle with our favorite nerd boys like Tumblr founder David Karp, College Humor’s Ricky Van Veen, Four Square founder Dennis Crowley, and Wine Library TV’s Gary Vaynerchuk (who came with 40 cases of wine-reinforcements).
