Must Do Event Tonight @DigitalLA W Hollywood Hotel

I'll be at W Hollywood Hotel for Digital LA tonight. Will you?  Especially given today's weather and the venue, this is going to be well attended and very cool.  Don't forget to check in on FourSquare with me.

I visited this hotel for the first time for their spectacular opening January 29. 
Ray J Gordon took some wonderful photos that day. He is currently on a trip to Africa working as an urban planner on a World Bank mission and I can't put my fingers on the photos immediately. You can follow Ray's trip on Twitter
So for now, here are some pics I took that day with my iPhone as I was tweeting the event while I was there.
It was a GREAT event with Jimmy Kimmel hosting, the Mayor speaking and lots of interesting inspiring insight into what it takes to get an MTA subway station, Hotel and Residence combination built.
