<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/schragertischmain.JPG" class="imgborder"> Last night, we headed <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/22/154435/151/hotels/Ian_Schrager_And_Jonathan_Tisch_Are_Gonna_Dish_Tonight">up to the 92nd Street Y</a> in New York City to hear <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Ian%20Schrager">Ian Schrager</a> in conversation with <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Loews%20Hotels">Leow's</a> CEO <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Jonathan%20Tisch">Jonathan Tisch</a>. The discussion was called "The Future of Lifestyle and Business," and we were totally psyched to geek out and gawk at the J-Man and I-Nasty. And, more importantly, we were ready and waiting to hear about what's up next for the industry from two of the most prominent and influential hoteliers in the biz. Instead, we mostly listened to Schrager discuss his life, his past and his personal future in business. Alright, so it was a little bit different than what we'd expected -- but still pretty fascinating.

[Ed. Note: We had a secret operative at the Waldorf-Astoria on Monday night when Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Said spy, AllBeachy, gives us the full report of what went down. Madonna fans listen up. Enjoy.

The normally somewhat-staid Waldorf-Astoria was rockin’ on Monday night as the annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction dinner crowd took over the ballroom. Beautiful People abounded, as a mix of luminaries from the worlds of entertainment, publishing, and business table-hopped and schmoozed it up.
