Rapping up VTB's Dinner in NYC

Here's the wrap up from this year's Vintage Tub’s Networking Dinner at the Manhattan Penthouse in New York City after the SES Conference. From wrapping sushi to an actual rapper,Allan Dick spoiled his guests with:

• 2 hours of hors d'oeuvres including mini crab cakes, variety of sushi, fried lamb raviolis, homemade guacamole and mini sandwiches

• an open bar; greases the jaw for networking.
• We don't encourage drinking here at VTB, but the first time meeting Allan, he informed me that those who drink make a larger income than those who don't due to the networking done. A fact I'll never forget.
• 
  
• Delicious dinner choices from Filet Mignon, Salmon and Pasta with volcano cake for dessert.

• Dance Dance Revolution and a Basketball hoop competition.

• A rap performance from Chuck Lewis, aka MoSerious on search engine strategies
