Open Social Sunday

This past weekend was officially the first Open Social Sunday held by Hilary Rowland at Bobo, the en Vogue eatery over in the West Village. After ironing out a few issues with the restaurant, which seemed surprisingly stubborn and not that accommodating to simple requests, which I attribute to them just opening for brunch two weeks ago, members of the New York media and tech community sat down for a few spicy bloody marys, some croque monsieur's and some business card swapping. It's really intersting to hear all the paths that people take and how creative they get with their jobs. I'm always impressed.

The brunch hosts a wide variety of people. Everyone from an acupuncturist (sat next to me, the person most afraid of needles probably there and had me squirming the whole time talking about it), a freelance music blogger/great photographer, a film consultant/entrepreneur, an art rep for a very cool pop/expressionist artist, a venture capital guy from IACI, the SocialDiva (got it right this time ;-)), the New Faces CEO, a dealmaker from the UK Trade and Investment Department, the founder of an mobile based email question service and an editor from Conde Nast with a digital media background.

Once again the gathering was a very enjoyable event and I met a bunch of very interesting people. Two thumbs up again for Hilary.
