Hollywood Gala Draws Unprecedented Celebrity Interest
Posted by Chris on 12 August 1999, 22:17 GMT
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA - To celebrate the opening of its redesigned Web site, the ticalc.org project hosted a glamorous, star-studded gala on Sunset Boulevard Wednesday evening, attracting the patronage of such high-profile stars as George Clooney and Nicole Kidman. The invitation-only event easily filled the interior of Spago's West Hollywood restaurant, as ticalc.org staff members, convened from as far away as Sweden, rubbed elbows with famous actors and Hollywood persona. Sean Penn and Steve Guttenberg were reportedly turned away at the door; for those lucky celebrities who made the cut, however, an unforgettable evening awaited. Among the more notable attendees who gathered to get an early glimpse at the improved site were Paul Reubens (better known as "Pee Wee" Herman), Cameron Diaz, Jack Nicholson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Steve Allen, Michael Stipe, Helen Hunt, Matthew McConaughey, and David Spade. Leonardo DiCaprio was quoted as saying, "Screw partying, I'm going to a Web site for calculators tonight." Spike Lee could be seen anxiously reloading the site in his web browser, brow glistening as he eagerly awaited the reincarnation of ticalc.org. He called it one of his "joints," but failed to elaborate. Gary Coleman took a rare respite from assaulting "hos" to get a look at the new site's compelling features. All told, the event will surely be classified as one of the year's best, topping even Charlie Sheen's March bash at the Cat and Fiddle. Rumors ticalc.org staff member Nick Disabato departed with "Ally McBeal" star Calista Flockhart were unconfirmed at press time.

So this would be "fake news," eh? Well a little humor is in order :)
Anyway, the site looks much better. (e.g. No blue space off to the right.) And there is now something called registration. Still no HTML tags enabled; well I can live w/o those ;)

Two thumbs up! I really like the new layout!
However, could this just be a kneejerk reaction to Dim-TI's redesign? Even if it is, it still is a huge improvement over the old design.
