    The Dinner Club

     
    You're invited: Join the "masters of the Internet universe" for dinner.
    12/2/2002
    If you've ever wanted to know what happened when a bunch of the Internet-rich got together behind closed doors, here is your chance to the get fly-on-the-wall dirt. This particular fly is dot-com diva Shannon Henry, whom Time Magazine calls "the leading technology writer in Washington, DC." Henry was the only reporter allowed exclusive access to these monthly second-Monday meetings at four-star restaurants and private clubs, where early Internet luminaries like AOL co-founders Steve Case and Jim Kimsey, WorldCom CEO John Sidgmore, and NASDAQ vice chairman Al Berkeley noshed and otherwise hobnobbed with their fellow wizards. Henry takes you through the heyday, when the only bubbles bursting were in the champagne, to the crash, and fast forwards to where they are now. Check out the lovely descriptions of haute cuisine laced with soupçons of hubris throughout.
