    I was like, "Hey dude, who are you?" and he was like "I'm David-Michael Davies," and I was like, "Oh, so what does that mean exactly?" and he was like "I'm the chairman of Internet Week," and I was like "Oh yeah? I'm the emperor of Internet Decade, so there," and then he was like "Oh yeah, well, my tie is actually a detachable bong."

    Disclaimers:
    (1) He is David-Michael Davies.
    (2) He is the chairman of Internet Week.
    (3) The above dialog did not happen, technically.
    (4) His tie was a gift from his wife and it was hype.
    (5) Apparently one of the guests left their Ark of the Covenant on the dance floor.
