 | | A Respond.com party late last year featured performers from Cirque du Soleil, and in December, ETour flew the accordion-playing Net celeb Mahir in from Turkey to party with scantily clad Rouze.com models and San Francisco dot-commers. |
 | | Last Thursday, the busiest night of the dot-com party week, it was Napster, the maker of the controversial MP3-swapping software and defendant in several lawsuits; the week before that it was Luminant, an e-business solutions company that has 18 employees in San Francisco but entertained 800 guests. |
 | | The party at Club NV, adorned by 3-foot-tall blocks of cheese and make-your-own sundaes, was designed "to introduce Luminant to the community in a forceful way," says Guillermo Marmol, CEO of the Dallas company, but it was also a tool to woo job candidates. |
