rock the launch party

I attended a launch party for evite last night: a good time but a bit surreal, as my wife aptly put it. The event was co-sponsored by MTV and Rock the Vote. There were a few C-list celebrities walking around: Ryan Seacrest was the host if you call showing up and talking for about two minutes being a host. Polly Shore, Chandler and Lorenzo Lamas were there. They must support Rock the Vote because I'm sure they've never used evite.

What do you think of when you try to picture a dot-com's launch party? Drunken software developers gettin' down? That guy from QA making out with that girl from Customer Service? People drinking and eating and celebrating? That's what I imagine. Last night was more or less a bunch of beautiful people sipping Grey Goose martinis while listening to house-music. It was a launch party, LA-style.
