One of the benefits of my new job is getting wined and dined and schmoozed by media companies. One of the first parties that I got invited to was on a roof top terrace at the Double Tree Hilton over looking London last Thursday night.
One of the only buildings to make up the London "skyline" is the Shard. It's to be the tallest building in Europe (for now) and even though it looks unfinished, the opening happened to be on the same night as the media party. There was talk of a spectacular laser show and the building being lit up for the grand unveiling (even though 12 million people had seen the thing being built, it's not like they'd put a curtain around it during the past 3 years). We were in prime position for this. A little over-rated, but hey, at least we got to see it. The free alcohol and canapes weren't that bad of an environment to have seen it either.
