463 Communications, which represents a number of high-tech interests in Washington, will host its holiday party Wednesday night and the title and tagline for the soiree reflect the economic times: "Depression 2.0 Party: We’re gonna party like its 1929…" In the spirit of the Great Depression, 463's annual comedic video to be shown at the event is reminiscent of the black-and-white newsreels of the era. Fortunately, unlike during the early part of the prior financial meltdown, booze will be flowing.
Grainy footage in "The March of Progress" pokes fun at several 463 clients including Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, the Consumer Electronics Association, Cisco Systems, Google, TechNet, the Tech CEO Council, Skype, and VeriSign. View a sneak peek above (with a slightly embarrassing cameo appearance by yours truly).
