Code Red Party Recap

As many of you know, yesterday was kind of a big day for us. We finally unveiled the new Ask.com and Barry Diller got a chance to articulate why our search engine is a relevant part of the search world in the keynote address at SES. (Those of you who missed the keynote can listen to it here.)

So what does any self-respecting company do after so much hard work? We partied.

Red Alert Party

The "Code Red" event, held at Club LQ in Manhattan, had a huge turnout and was worth the trip across town in freezing temperatures. It was definitely the most crowded dance floor we've ever seen at SES...at least where people were actually dancing. We also had flamethrowing, breakdancing Battlebots, video games and great food. Then about 2 hours into the event, Boba Fett showed up with a bunch of Stormtroopers and unveiled Jeeves - who was frozen in carbonite ala Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back. It was amazing. Then people danced around frozen Jeeves all night.

Here are more glimpses of the party, including some videos:

Special thanks to Serin, Usha, Laurie & Annie for orchestrating such a wonderful celebration. And thanks everyone for coming!

The new interface looks great. Definetly a nice new look. The party looks pretty exciting as well.
