Security was tight last night, as the setting was the gated Imaginaire Private Jet Charter facility in Addison. But once you got inside, the booze and the food (Chopin vodka, Mercury Grill hors d’oeuvres) and the talk flowed freely as more than 200 mover-and-shaker types enjoyed D CEO magazine’s Second Quarter Happy Hour. The guests included KRLD-AM business analyst David Johnson (at far left in photo, next to D CEO’s Cynthia Smoot) and Fox4 morning anchor Tim Ryan (at right). Also spotted: Addison Mayor Joe Chow, top lawyer Mark Werbner, men’s clothing guru Mike Zack, beautiful real-estate stars like Susan Arledge, and Boardroom Software honcho Andrew Levi. And, oh yeah, still more reason for all the security: a couple of sleek Imaginaire private jets and some hot Aston Martins. Talk about Sex in the City.
