To celebrate Internet Week, Gawker's Jessica Amason and Richard Blakeley produced The Webutante Ball. A cocktail-formal event for both male and female - and other - WEButantes held at the swanky rooftop of the Empire Hotel.
I missed the Stolichnaya open bar because autopilot took me first to the mad46 rooftop at the Roosevelt Hotel where Tuesday's Internet Oldtimers party was held.
Eventually I found my way to the Roosevelt's "Web Zone" where a swipe of my debit card unlocked the computer and I found the correct location. I logged out, grabbed my $3 minimum receipt and hopped the crosstown bus. Naturally, a charge for $20 showed up on my account (I wonder how many people check?). Customer service told me it is only an "authorization" and will not be charged - but it's a bummer to have a $20 hold applied without approval.
I met celebutante Drew Grant from ASSME, who is enjoying a media splash after she broke new news about the Montauk Monster - she said she hopes her celebrity lasts at least 30 minutes. Here is Drew (left) with Rachel Sklar, who is also enjoying the buzz about her upcoming book Jew-ish.
