TASTE OF HOPE: HEARD YOU MISSED IT; WELL, IT'S BACCHUS.

Industry weasels are preparing to get their grape on once again at City of Hope’s 11th Annual Taste of Hope on 3/23 in NYC.

The event committee is headed by iHeartMedia’s Alissa Pollack; Def Jam topper Steve Bartels, RCA co-honcho Tom Corson, Epic ruler L.A. Reid, Warner Bros. macher Peter Gray, Maverick prexy Greg Thompson, promotion icon Richard Palmese and Roc Nation Sports' Sean “Pecas” Costner are among the biz heavies sitting on the committee.

A portion of funds will support the Jason Pollack Memorial Fund at Musicians on Call, which brings music to patients and their families at City of Hope.

The event will feature a cocktail reception, dinner and a live and silent auction, as well as finely attired people so pickled that they say stuff like “No, seriously, man, I love you—no, listen, I LOVE YOU.” To see photos of everyone getting wasted on the juice last year, go here and here.
