Oralfix at the Webbys
June 9th, 2005 by Jon|
On Monday night Oral Fixation Mints made a special appearance at the very swanky 2005 Webby Awards at NYC’s Gotham Hall. Our mints made it into the hands of all 700 guests, including former vice-President Al Gore and Craig from Craigslist. The evening’s decor was positively crimson, so 7 Deadly Cinnamon was the flavor of choice, in its tell-tale red tin, placed on every table. I was honored to receive a couple of awards, for 10×10 and WordCount, which was, to my surprise, the very first award of the evening. Webby acceptance speeches are strictly limited to 5 words, so mine were “I’d just like to say” (WordCount), and “A picture’s worth 100 words” (10×10). Other speech highlights were Al Gore’s “Please don’t recount this vote”, Lonely Planet’s “Love your country. Leave it.”, and British Vogue’s “Do you like my dress?”. For a good piece on the Webbys, here’s a New York Times article on the event. And now, some photos!
