There were a few very minor missteps on the night. First was the fact that Mos Def was in the building, but not near the stage when their collaboration 'Two Words' was being performed, and so Kanye was looking around for the rapper to no avail. Next was the fact that the drink of choice, at least by the Rosewood Movement, was the creatively named "Rosewood." It is: sauvignon blanc, cranberry juice and a simple syrup. You can guess how that tasted.
The dress code was pretty heavily enforced, but the only men who seemed to enter sans suit were David Beckham and his hanger-on buddy. Pulling the "It's not really that cold and other people are actually sweating but I'm still going to wear a beanie" move, he was perched up in one of the upper booths with no Victoria Beckham in sight, though he did have some cute-ish British girls with him. To his credit nothing particularly salacious was happening with their party—and the background on his new Blackberry Torch was a picture of his family.
Here's the real story. Foursquare founder Dens was there, and if you read the Awl post it sounds like he wasn't invited, but met Kanye nonetheless. Did he use Foursquare to know the show was happening in the first place? What if Foursquare is just an elaborate ruse to make sure Dens & friends never miss a hot event, promoted or no, ever again?
