El Gaucho's chic Cigar Lounge was the place to be for Seattle media professionals on February 6th. About 100 partygoers gathered and schmoozed over Night Owl, True Love and C.O.W.'s (cocktail of the week) at this swanky venue. mediabistro.com hosts PR manager Joann Natalia Aquino and freelance writer Michael Bradbury threw another fantastic party, and guests are already looking forward to the next bash. Don't you miss it!
