On April 8, 2008 Philly media professionals went to Positano Coast to talk, drink, and celebrate the release of John Ghazvinian's new book Untapped: The Scramble for Africa's Oil. The night was without a doubt a success as lasting connections were made and a good time was had by all.

A big thanks to Positano Coast for providing perfect surroundings for the night.
