Thanks to the fluorescent red-hot location, we had an incredible turnout for our July All-Media Party at the Geisha House in Hollywood! About 200 folks from all walks of professional life had the open-air Moon Bar to themselves, sipping sake-tinis and Sapporos (yep, that's the only beer they serve) while host Alissa Walker flitted from conversation to conversation with her trusty magic wand, making introductions and wishes come true.
