FUN OF YOUR BUSINESS
Last week we asked our readers to tell us, What was the best industry event, party or function that you went to?
Here is what your colleagues had to say…
The Departed premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC. The highlight was meeting Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nicholson!!! – Anderson Angad, Manager, Integrated Investment, Universal McCann
NCC client appreciation party at the Beverly Hills Hotel, circa 2000 (overnight stay included) – Tressa Adams, Associate Director, Strategy, OMD
I was lucky enough to have attended the NBC Season Premiere party in 1994, met and took a picture with George Clooney, coming to ER – and the entire cast of Friends was introduced. We did NOT KNOW WHO they were, at the time. Jerry Seinfeld was the host of the event at Radio City Music Hall and the mountain of shrimp that was served was over 3 feet high inside a fountain – BEST PARTY to have met so many stars in one night. – Jayne McMahon, Manager Media Planning/Buying, Dealer Online Marketing
The Oscars, 2000. I was an assistant at Sony and I won tickets as part of a raffle. I wore my prom dress from 1995 – it was black lace (oy). And the photographers kept yelling at me to get out of the way on the way in! – Tamaya Petteway, SVP, Brand Partnerships, Endemol Shine North America
Next week’s question is… "What was your funniest Thanksgiving snafu?"
