Over 90 media professionals gathered at the fabulous W'Sens in Central London for a penguin-themed party to launch Gus & Waldo's Book of Love, a witty take on life as a gay couple written and illustrated by Massimo Fenati. Massimo co-hosted the evening with mediabistro.com and gave away free signed copies of the book. Yummy appetizers were offered by Orion books and North One TV, as guests mingled and chatted into the evening while stills of the cartoons flashed on a glamorous giant sphere at the venue's entrance. The next event like this will be back in Soho, pre-Christmas. See you there!
