There were so many old-media bigwigs at the Internet Week event, it's surprising there were any admission badges left for Web startups. Bonnie Fuller, Jeff Zucker, Norm Pearlstine, Steven Brill and Jimmy Fallon joined Murdoch and Diller. Myspace's Jon Miller, AOL's Tim Armstrong and Flickr's Caterina Fake represented the new blood. There was enough space left over for a substantial contingent of New York Web entrepreneurs; the rope-line squeeze might have erupted into a media war had more of Silicon Valley turned up for Gotham's promotional festivities.

Old media or new, the event was amply digitized:

Mahalo founder Jason Calacanis took a break from squeezing other people's content for Google juice and reprised his mid-1990s role as the chronicler of Silicon Alley. This crowd shot was a particularly impressive achievement; under Mahalo's payment system, it's worth roughly half a sip of mineral water (more of Calacanis' shots are available here — and below).

Peter Kafka of All Things Digital played video paparazzo, recording Barry Diller as he introduced News Corp's Jon Miller and ex-Googler Tim Armstrong, now of AOL. Rupert Murdoch, sometime boss to both Miller and Diller, to say nothing of Kafka, made a cameo. News Corp., IAC and AOL: clearly, these are the media leaders of tomorrow!

Here's Murdoch, no doubt contemplating a strategy for seizing the microphone from Diller. Via Max Kalehoff's Flickr stream.

Dark lords of blogging Nick Denton (Gawker), Jason Calacanis (Weblogs Inc., now sold off) and Henry Blodget (Business Insider) graciously donated their devious grins for a poster that will be used to scare small children next Halloween. Via Calacanis.

Younger blog moguls Rufus Griscom and Lockhart Steele still retain a significant portion of their original, human souls, and are thus capable of appearing in daylight without melting or experiencing a burning sensation like their blogfathers above. Via Calacanis.

Now where are the ridiculously hot waiters we've heard so much about? Anyone? Barry? Via Founders Club Flickr.

Erik Schonfeld of TechCrunch compares booze notes (probably) with upstart wine tastemaker Gary Vaynerchuk. Via Calacanis.

All the focus on wine apparently threw Schonfeld off his game.

For once, it was Laurel Touby busting Nick Denton, and not the other way round.

What's surprising isn't this tweet about a nitwit at a rich guy's party, but that there weren't more of them. The future is bright!

Baron also told us that despite rumors to the contrary, host Joanne Colan will not be leaving the show. "That was just a rumor," said Baron. "Gawker writers these days get paid by pageviews so I think they sometimes just make stuff up." Trust us, if we made up posts for pageviews, they would involve drug warehouse orgies with prostitutes and private jets turned into hot boxes, not a host leaving a low-budget Web show.

Probably the biggest surprise last night was that despite Facebook's busy day announcing new features to allow users to spam each other, one of the company's Harvard connections still showed at last night's Founders Club party here in New York. Which one? ConnectU founder and litigious claimant to the Facebook throne, Divya Narendra, of course.

What, you were expecting Adidas? I asked Narendra what he really thinks of Zuckerberg, but he wouldn't. Didn't want to piss off his lawyers. Narendra was happy to dish on fellow wannabe Facebook founder Aaron Greenspan, however.

"I have no idea how he got that New York Times article," Narendra told me. "He has nothing to do with any of this."

Bitches just jealous.

New York angel investor Ron Conway also turned up last night. I'd have snapped a photo of him, but for a big fella, the man pulls a mean pirouette at the sight of a camera. And did you really want to see a photo of his backside? Silicon Alley wantrepreneurs are not allowed to answer that.

One thing I didn't know about Adelson: Apparently he lives in Dutchess County, north of New York, and commutes to San Francisco to run Digg. Does this mean we can claim him for Silicon Alley? (Ed.'s note: No.)

CollegeHumor's Zach Klein and Ricky Van Veen also showed, dragging down the whole affair with their ironic style and funny-looking glasses. They only cost $7 dollars on eBay. Father figures Josh Mohrer of BustedTees and Vimeo's Jonathan Marcus mostly managed to keep the boys in line, though dress code violations (sneakers) barred the entire crew from the Rainbow Room afterparty. Nobody said beauty was easy, fellas.
