Claire Chase and Eric Lamb = are the flute section of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), and have been playing together since a chance encounter in the summer of 1997 on Cape Cod convinced them that they had been separated at birth. Since then, Claire and Eric – often referred to as the duo “Wired” – have played hundreds of concerts together, and have cultivated a tight-knit virtuosity and emotional chemistry well-suited to the challenges of contemporary repertoire, premiering dozens of new duo works for the entire family of flutes. Equally at home with baroque, classical, romantic, and experimental repertoire as well as with new directions in electro-acoustic music and improvisation, they have performed as a duo throughout the US and Europe and given duo master classes recently at Northwestern University, Smith College and the Wiesbaden Academy of Music in Germany.

Party Bacon !

Well this my friends is the beginning of “Bsimi’s Weekly BS”  and for the first time evah the beginning will be easy.
I am going to cover topics from why Chris Brogan is obsessed with our Bacon to what all the cool kids were wearing at
the Wired Store Grand Opening Party.

This weeks post will be easy because I will cheat and focus on Roger Smith Hotel. There was so much going on here, I was lucky to be a part of it and it is all
worth sharing.  Since I was not prepared to start this today I am going to list off as many of the awesome people and events that I can recall – in future posts I will be more diligent throughout the week when collecting material, pictures and insight.
Please enjoy the re-cap !

Gravity Summit and the awesomeness that made it happen:
Rodney Rumford – Beverly Macy – Y&R Brands – Mashable – Social Media Club – Operation Smile and an amazing party back at the hotel that thanks to Larry Chiang & Cathy Brooks  turned into 3 – parties in – 1 !

The best part of the Gravity Summit party going until 1am was that Social Media Breakfast was the next morning – it was a true test of  social media’s hardcore bacon lovers!  SMB featured Rachel Rhappe, David Armano and Mike Lewis.

The Chinwag group joined us for breakfast and lunch – it was a pleasure having some of the UK’s most talented digital influencers in-house !

Thanks to a tweet by Julia Roy of Coach, we were alerted to the fact that we were #1 on the Social Great website – better known as Foursquare – (Stay tuned for upcoming, IRL old-school Four Square Tourney in our Lab Gallery)

Thanks to Janine Just for organizing the Skype Event here in our Starlight room with help from Oz Sultan & Brett Petersel

Highlight of the week was the impromptu tweet-up that came from @LvM wanting to get together with a few friends… next thing I know Lily’s is filled with:

@ajleon, @melissaleon, @iamkhayyam, @juliaroy, @emilyspearl, @beebow, @cheeky_geeky, @chrisbrogan, @cc_chapman, @GuruofSales, @Courtenaybird,@garysguide, @foodphilosophy… et al  It was one of the greatest groups we have seen here and appreciate you all!

Stay Chaotic !
