The premiere of Sex And The City 2 was a good reason for Proximus to throw a party in Brussel's Kinepolis. And to be clear: the Proximus event guys and girls did a better job than the people making the movie. A bit unfair judgement, I agree, but I'll remember the event a bit longer than I will remember the movie. Proximus had dressed up the Kinepolis entrance and the entire stairwell, as well as the event room at the exit. Good looking boys and girls were hired to play some of the SATC2 types, hot girls showing off the latest fashion and real hunks ready to take you out. Plenty of picture opportunities, with readily available photographers, and everything executed in a professional way (I wouldn't like to see the bill :-). And of course there were the SATC2 gift bags - exactly three different ones - for all the Promimus guests attending the premire. The only down point ? The movie itself - more than two hours worth of product placement with the soundtrack as the most interesting part of the movie. Click here to read more »

A colorful three hour parade with artists, costumes, acrobats, facepainting, and much much more. You can find my event pictures in my Flickr account. Click here to read more »

Someone records it on mobile video, about one million people go look at it on YouTube, and the Fox Networks decides to give this video a spot on their 10pm news. The result: just three days later the online video has 13 million views (and counting), Michael is invited at talkshows, and lives the American Dream. Click here to read more »
