Last week, your funny danny blogger caught a free live show. These are the best kinds of shows, due to their free-ness and their value; and you know your humorist is all about value. One of the cool things about the newer version of old york is a thing that is new to me: Launch Parties. These elusive and wondrous spectacles are both curious and compelling. Unless one is in an industry where this sort of tomfoolery is commonplace (awkward high fashion where one does not eat for example), it's hard to know where/when/why /what the hell for these things occur. Let me break down the launch party:
-some company has a new product/idea/concept/person/design/statue
-said company hires another company
-company 2 gets a venue, spends company 1's $...lots of company 1's $
-Enormous amounts of random people miraculously hear about the event.
-Said people attend, eat food, drink adult beverages, and make merry and glance at whatever new product/idea/concept/person/design/statue company 1 is rolling out there
This is what is done. Whoever did this first is either an idiot or a genius. I vote genius. Otherwise, last Thursday, I wouldn't have had 481 Guinnesses and eaten small hot dogs.
I had a hookup with this one. It was a good hook up...like she ran the event. Would I, in a million years have had any idea about this shindig without the expressed written reminders of said hookup? Negatron. Bottom line: Someone else paid for me to get sauced and listen to a cool band...and I like that.
