THE SPIRIT OF LIFE, IN SPITE OF US

Presenting some of the spirited posing that transpired at the City of Hope's Spirit Of Life Campaign kickoff at Freds at Barneys in NYC. The City of Hope Spirit of Life Gala Dinner honoring Red Light founder/chief Coran Capshaw will be held in Los Angeles on 11/2.

Capshaw tells RCA Prexy/COO Tom Corson that he's already signed several of the imaginary Swedish bands from Spotify's chill playlist. Elliot Groffman is already chill.

UMe topper Bruce Resnikoff tells UMG EVP Michele Anthony that he's planning a lavish reissue package of the day's event, including several previously unreleased photos. Seen hoping we can be edited out are (l-r) Elliot Groffman, Anthony, Resnikoff and AEG VP Larry Vallon.

Def Jam's Rick Sackheim and label topper Steve Bartels flank Glassnote chief Daniel Glass as they remember a particularly raucous week at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton on Rob Goldstone's dime. Recalled Bartels, "I didn't eat borscht again for a year."

Seen thinking they deserve 15% just for enduring the indignity of appearing on our site are (l-r) ATO GM Jon Salter, Red Light EVP Jason Weinstock, Capshaw and Red Light President/CEO Will Botwin.
