Blue moves

For some reason, press parties never quite seem to live up to expectation - but the launch of Blue Neon Hotel did. Oysters, caviar, frozen vodka, excellent food, and Bollinger from doors opening at 7pm, right through till the last journos slid out the door at 2.30 am. Incidently, those hard-core bar-proppers were The Frenchman, and his buddy, The Irishman, who were witnessed having escalator races at the tail-end of the night.
