The Indian/Latin/Asian/Caribbean combination that comprised the menu at Spice perfectly mirrored the range of media at the MB Seattle event on Tuesday. Over 75 authors, journalists, TV, filmmakers, PR and marketing professionals turned out for the March All-Media cocktail party, despite all other busy activities in the Belltown area. Mango mojitos and exotic drinks spiced up the usual drink fare and the lively conversations.
