The Burroughes was packed wall-to-wall with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. The party was thrown by SmartWater and the Creative Artists Agency.

If you aren’t aware of the Creative Artists Agency, they represent some of the biggest and brightest names in show business. Because of this, we knew there would be some big stars in the house, but we were totally surprised by how many big names showed up! James Franco, Jessica Chastain, Ethan Hawke, Colin Farrell, Dave Matthews, Ethan Hawke and too many more to name were seen partying at the Burroughes that night.

Vitaminwater sat down with Emile Hirsch and Juno Temple to chat about their upcoming film – ‘Killer Joe’.

In fact, we just came across this great photo of Bradd Pitt and Angelina Jolie leaving The Burroughes after a long night of dining and partying!

We might not have mentioned this, but we have been working hard improving our spacious 6th floor event space. In addition to improving the space and beautifully restoring the original accents, we have provided a fully functioning kitchen and bar.

Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio helped us break in our brand new kitchen, preparing the very first meal for Brangelina, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Spike Jones, Jonah Hill and many, many more notable personalities.

Lucky for us, Vitamin Water was there to sit down with Tom and chat with him about preparing the meal. Check out the video!
