Naked dancing ladies?
MAY DAY! May Day! Naked Dancing Ladies seen at the Razorfish party! Actually, it was a gold-lame clad butterfly winged belly dancer. But that was only one small part of this wild extravaganza May 1 that had so many Silicon Alley folks chatting over the week. The party was a chance for Razorfish to thank friends and family and the New York community for all their support, according to co-founder Craig Kanarick. The vast loft at 170 Grand Street was divided by huge expanses of saran-wrap and steel barriers with cartoon faces drawn on them. Montages of avant-guard 20’s films with crazy experimental dancers were projected on the walls. Mr. Tanguery was highly apparent in buttons, large cardboard cutouts, and plastic martini glasses for party-goers.
Kare VonFunk planned the event, complete with White Castle hamburgers and a KILLER band — Sambanditos! Their amazing drum beat helped us cut loose, in fact Veronique Christensen, freelance web producer, commented: “there was a woman dancing like a whirling dervish with the rhythm of the tam-tam in her blood!” Uh-huh. Two other great dancers I spied were Loryn Locklin of the Cassandra Group and Dylan Christy of Airmedia. I also go to catch up with Brad Paley, of DID, who created the Digital Monkey and former NYU Tisch Experimental Theater Workshop classmate of mine, Conchetta Kirshner, who’s looking very Courtney Love and stars in her own band now, “Superstar Princess.” Wow. Craig’s final thought on the event was “He only wished there was bigger space and a faster elevator!”
A SOMEWHAT mysterious group of super minds and super women have something brewing. It includes some of New York’s top media minds and the initial meeting at Vintage for red wine and cupcakes! More to be uncovered later!
