BIZBASH held a bash at BB KINGS - the place where EARTHA KITT recently performed and MAYOR BLOOMBERG held his inauguration party. Dave Adler, Publisher of BizBash welcomed everyone and joked "the host's worst nightmare is when noone comes". Gerry Moss welcomed everyone too - the room was packed indeed. Michael Cavanaugh, now in BILLY JOEL'S MOVING OUT played and sang some favorites to add to the festive occassion befor the BIG B'S were given out to the best in the events business. The best GIFT BAG went to Liberty National Golf Club Announcement Event -submitted byKarlitz & Company- it had a leather basket filled with a box of wine glasses, linen tablecloth, napkins, wine bottle, cookbook and (get this) silver rings. The best EVENT CONCEPT went to the Robin Hood Foundation Benefit, submitted byEvent Resources Inc. The well-known Dalzell Productions won for Gotham Awards. Other categories included "best" event decor, new venue, lighting design, staging set design, entertainment program, conference, and frest idea. The judges included the well-known Susan Magrino Agency, BIZBASH Media, Macy's and several others. Inducted into the HALL OF FAME HONOREES were JULIAN NICCOLINI and ALEX VON BIDDER, owners of the famous FOUR SEASONS restaurant- who together created the "power lunch". It was indeed a great BASH and a fun party. Ice-skating champion and Olympic Gold Medalist SARAH HUGHES emceed the coveted SULLIVAN AWARDS at the NY Athletic Club. She told me that "if I hadn't started at the age of 4, I would never have won my first medal at the age of 16." The Saint George Society held their black tie gala at the Pierre and raised monies from an auction and dinner dance. Last year, SIR DAVID FROST told jokes and emceed. |
