Monday night was the One Club's New York State of Mind & Holiday Party 2009. It was lots of fun and I got some networking done. I met up with a couple of friends - Art, Lazar, and my fellow ex-BBDO intern, Kevin. When Art and I first arrived, it was on the heels of Gerry Graf. There were a lot of other big names at the event, but the one that stood out to me was Andy Azula, the CD from Martin who was featured in the UPS whiteboard ads because earlier in the day, I had just watched SNL's spoof with Bill Hader.
A minimum $10 donation went to the New York City Food Bank AND gained you open bar. Drinks were limited to beer and wine, but the wine was lovely. The h'or d'oeuvres were delicious (of course) and included sliders, kobe beef, coconut shrimp, pear tartlets, teriyaki salmon on rice cakes (actual rice made into little patties), and so much more.
Running the whole night were commercials by NY agencies, which included one of my favorites that has been released in the past week or so - JWT's James Lipton's beard campaign for LG. The walls were also plastered with ads, which I always enjoy checking out.
Pictures from the event can be found on the One Club's Facebook page.
