So there weren’t any serious parties (ala Blue Lithium @ AdTech) here at OMMA, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any fun to be had. The pool at the Roosevelt Hotel, not the official OMMA hotel, provided plenty of wee-hour excitement.

Names and companies withheld to protect the not-so-innocent, but a few lessons were learned. First, don’t mess with drunk women with brothers on death row. Yep. You read that right. After being cut off from the bar, “Miss 1980’s bridesmaid dress & jeans” wearing girl joined our table and began to mix it up with, well, everyone at the table. It didn’t go over well when Miss “I’m connected to the mob” told a very attractive woman in her early 30’s that she looked 45, and that her J. Crew sweater was “from the 70s” and she “hoped she didn’t pay more than $100 for it.” Ah, good times.

To lighten the mood, another online video network rep found himself swimming in the pool, solo, around 1 am. Again, good times. Fortunately the heat lamps and fire pit were enough to warm him back up before heading back across the street to the official OMMA hotel. Hey, at least he wasn’t wearing a toga at the Toga Bar in Caesar’s Palace. But who would do such a thing?

Day two of the OMMA show starts shortly. More to follow……
