On the Circuit: Hugo Boss

What: Hugo Boss Spring/Summer
Where: 25 Broadway

Fashion week may be way over, but the fashion events never really end. That's good news for us, because the invitations keep rolling in. Last night, we headed to 25 Broadway at the very bottom of Manhattan to attend the Hugo Boss party for their Spring/Summer 2008 collection. Let's just say that the Boss went all out for this one, inviting 600 of their closest friends and colleagues to get down in the grand lobby of an old time New York City building.

The weather was unseasonable warm, so we decided to stroll down to the party. Walking inside, we noticed 4 stations with laptops to manage the guest list. Technology has arrived. DBTH +2 and away we went. Highlights of the evening were numerous, but tops on our list was the Misshapes, making their triumphant return to the main stage from their book tour duties. They were there in force, playing the same songs they always play with little ability to actually mix two songs together. Ah, to be young and over marketed. Other highlights include the copious bottles of champagne, a raw bar, an abundance of high quality passed items, and the overall space, which was divided into the bar, eating and seating area, and dance floor. It was the Misshapes, so of course there was dancing.

We hung around for a good long while, but we didn't close it out. Thanks for the fun time Hugo.

Misstep for MisShapes

Monday monrings are rough, no matter how you slice it. We appreciate the little things that help kick start the long week, like a classic weekend report about everyone's favortite DJ's. A little birdy tells us:

I was walking west on Spring Street on Saturday night and as I was walking by Don Hill's, I noticed a dude passed out laying on the sidewalk with his head propped against the side of the building. It was freezing and nobody was outside and he was in a t-shirt. I also noticed a guy trying to revive/argue with him. I noticed the dude on the ground was one of the MisShapes and so was the guy leaning over him. No idea which was which, because they look like twin muppets. Anyway, one of two things was happening:

1) He was trashed
2) He was in a tizzy.

Maybe it was both. I'm not sure what happened, but they we're causing quite a commotion.

We told you it was a great way to wake up. It's going to be a fun week.
