mediabistro.com founder Laurel Touby hosted the Mediabistro Circus party on Tuesday, May 12 at Tribeca Cinemas to celebrate our upcoming second annual two-day conference. Special guest Circus speakers Dan Costa and Larry Kramer attended the party, where guests enjoyed drink specials like the Fire-Breather and the Ringmaster and munched on popcorn. The best part of the night was when one lucky guest won a ticket to the Mediabistro Circus at The Times Center June 2-3.
