St. Paul Scoop: Google Party Postmortem

September 6, 2008 | 1:22 PM

One of the hottest tickets in town during the Republican National Convention was the Google-Vanity Fair bash at the Walker Art Center. The Thursday night soiree took over the entire facility with four themed rooms: air, fire, earth and water. Each zone had food, drink and decor to match. Notable guests* included...

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger; former HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson; former GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson; former Hewlett-Packard CEO and adviser for John McCain's campaign Carly Fiorina; YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley; Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons; actress Rosario Dawson; Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev.; House Minority Whip Roy Blunt; Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty; Rep. Adam Putnam, R-Fla.; and John McCain's daughter, Meghan (compiled from my list and a Googler's).
