Pub 45 After Party/After Thought

What a night it was. Hosted by the gorgeous duo, CD of More Deb Bishop and PD of Real Simple (as well as SPD Pres.) Casey Tierney, which made this year's Pub 45 awards a very special one, there were kudos, cheers, great drinking and dining and all in good humor... and to top it all, those who made it to the after party got to kick back and relax (some even racked it up for a game or two of pool.)
A big thank you goes out to our after-hours host, Pound & Pence for providing the good times, and a special thank you to the gala 45's DJ George of Five Star DJ Entertainment for keeping the grooves spinning all night.

More images to follow in the coming days, so stay tuned.

See you all at our next event!

Those Photo Booth Pics...

from the Gala are coming soon.  We promise!  Glenn Glasser worked his tail feather off taking some amazing photos of you all Friday night.  Who knew we had such an enthusiastic bunch of exhibitionists!  Given that there were about 450 attendees it's going to take us a little time to sort through the files.  Please stay tuned to spd.org for updates.

Thank you again for joining us for such a memorable evening.  And another congrats to all the winners!… MORE

Pub 45 After Party!

Fast Forward: It's Friday, May 7th at about 11pm. An amazing night of awards, great drinks and  tasty food has winded down, but you have yet to call it a night yourself. You're giddy from the past four hours-worth of drinking and dining and find yourself standing outside of Cipriani's Wall Street with the rest of your gang when your fellow art and photo directors turn to you and ask,  "So...where to now?" You heedfully reply: "POUND & PENCE, and it's barely two blocks away, so we can all walk there!"

To continue the party:
