We assumed that last night’s Ask.com ‘Code Red’ bash at the decidedly crimson Club LQ would be a retirement party for Jeeves, and it was (just not quite the kind we envisioned), as Jeeves was apparently banished to a galaxy far, far away. Pardon our cameraphone, but we had to get a picture of the butler frozen in carbonite a la Han Solo, flanked by stormtroopers and every Star Wars fanatic’s favorite jetpack-toting bounty hunter, Boba Fett.
Although the costumed persons refused to dance with anyone but the glow necklace dispensing, glam-metal wig-clad Ask.com girls, they were nice enough to pose for pictures. The frozen Jeeves unveiling was certainly the evening’s most noticible spectacle, but the Ask folks had plenty of other goodies: remote controlled, flame-shooting robots doing battle in a plexiglass enclosure, the usual dance hits of the ’70s, 80’s, ’90s (and today!), and wall-projected video games in a quieter downstairs bar.
Attendees were encouraged to grab custom Ask.com bead necklaces, but rather than bartering them for the usual Mardi Gras currency (ahem), they can be traded at Ask’s SES booth for the chance to win a Slingbox, those gadgets that allow you to watch tv from your computer. Bonus overheard sample converstation “That flame-bot was sweet.” “Yeah, that was pretty cool.”
