Billabong party was off the chain

Indeed, we mean colossal. Last Thursday upwards of 3,000 people showed up at Paramount Studios’ NY Street Backlot for Billabong’s sold-out Design for Humanity event. We can go on and on about how fun and sweet the party was, but let’s just put it this way: the most interesting man in the world was there.

The event raised at least $75,000 for Invisible Children! We are floored. Apparently an online auction is still going on, so we’ve been told to expect several thousand more.

We could not be more thrilled with Billabong, the folks at Paramount Studios, and all of the sponsors that made it possible (Verizon Wireless, Samsung, Sony, Sebastian, Smashbox, and Vitamin Water).

We have lots of pics of the Dethkills live art installation because it ruled. You may recognize the faces of Lilian, Boni, Innocent, and Papito. And then take a closer look.

Other pictures are of the venue, the LXD, Fischerspooner, and the Carmichael Gallery. Thanks to everyone who came!

(Ice-breaker: Would it be awesome or stupid to be known as “the most interesting man in the world”? Keep in mind that 1. No one knows your real name, and 2. You know in your heart that you are only moderately interesting.)
