The Paley Center For Media Holds Gala, Hoping To Save The Media

Sir Martin Sorrell, Rufus Wainwright, Ken LoweAll forms of media may be having a tough time lately, but we are glad to see that The Paley Center for Media (what used to be  the Museum of Television and Radio) is looking out for us. Last night, at the Cipriani on 42nd Street, their annual gala took place. The guests of honor were Ken Lowe and Sir Martin Sorrell (known for their ground breaking leadership in media) and Rufus Wainwright performed. The event will help with The Paley Center’s ongoing efforts to increase the public’s understanding of the media and its growing significance in today’s society through public and industry programs.

Last night saw the final Media Meshing Party, as the NYC media horde gathered for a joyous F-U to the sagging industry outlook.  Those with jobs, those aspiring to, and those mourning lost ones packed Sweet & Vicious one last time, and made a drenched night into a celebration. Joining our host, Gawker’s Richard Blakeley was a whole Gawker Media posse that included:

Thrillist Goes Green For 3rd Anniversary


[Photos by Kate Miltner]

Go HERE for more photos from this event and TAG YOURSELF and your friends!!!

Last night, I braved to the cold to head out for Thrillist’s 3-year anniversary at Greenhouse, the new eco-friendly club by Jon B’s team. Thanks to Flavie Bagnol for whisking me out of the bone-chilling night into the pre-party in the downstairs space.  Upon entrance, I was handed my “door prize,” a seemingly innocuous business card for Thrillist - but wait! what’s on the other side? A pithy phrase (pic at bottom) seemingly to put us back in our places if we were feeling too cool for being admitted, reminiscent of the slave following the victorious Caesar, whispering, “hominem te memento.” (See photo of card below). The crowd I shouldered my way through, was made easier to take by pizza from Lassonyc and of course booze from party sponsors Dos Equis, Jose Cuervo, and uncorked.com (I had a bit of each), and the random arrival of my brother Nick, who was “just in the neighborhood”.

So, in case you were living in a bubble or just came back from the moon,  it’s a rough time no matter what career you are in.  As many may know, when the going gets tough all you need to do is PARTY! This is what people with jobs (er, ex jobs?) in the media did last night at the monthly Media Meshing organized by Gawker’s video Guru Richard Blakely at Sweet and Vicious. We encountered lots of gossip and alcoholics of course.

Gradient Mag Raises The Bar For Invites

After we got one of Lavo’s engraved glass slabs in August, we thought we had seen a new high-water mark for invitations.  Now, Gradient Magazine has done them one better.  For tomorrow’s launch of Frequency 2 of the magazine, Matt Fried, Alan Vinogradov, and Barris Vinogradov sent out the invites pictured above.  Hand-made, no two alike, these little pieces of art were put together by the Gradient team with inspiration from artist Gary Wenc who, is featured in this issue’s Gallarei along side Emmitt Shine, Matt Siren, and Lucien Dulfan.  We look forward to seeing what Gradient has put up their sleeve, as they host tomorrow night along with co-hosts Andres Serrano, Kipton Cronkite, Bettina Prentice, and Anastasia Rogers.

Radar Magazine’s RIP Halloween Bash

“Last Dance On The Deck Of The SS Radar”

Go HERE and HERE for more pictures from John Norwood and Max Flatow, and TAG YOURSELF in the galleries!

Last night saw the last gasp (or last middle finger) of Radar 3.0, as the recently-folded magazine bravely carried on with its previously planned Halloween party-turned media wake.  The mag’s latest/last cover model, Shannen Doherty, joined Maer Roshan, Jeb Reed, Neel Shah and the rest of the Radar family as they raged against the dying of the light until the wee hours of the morning.   Old and new media showed up to pay their respects, many in Gawker’s suggested costume of “recently laid-off writer/bloggers.”
