Mike McVay (President/McVay Media), Heather Cohen (EVP/The Weiss Agency), Julie Adam (GM CHFI/Toronto), Steve Jones (VP/Programming NewCap), Rockie Thomas (McVay New Media) and Eric Weiss (President/ The Weiss Agency) posed following dinner at Asa de Cuba in Los Angeles. This motley crue was in LA for the Dan O'Day PD Grad School and stayed over for the 80th Annual Academy Awards.





Rumor has it that several members of the dinner party were "over served" by an irresponsible waiter.
