Firefly LA is implementing the wild sphere setup, which is making its L.A. debut at the party, as well as a massive sign made from flat-screen televisions that will spell out “100 HD.” Along Came Mary will provide nosh. Among the many sponsors are new HD channels NBC Universal, Fox, A&E Networks, MTV Networks, and Showtime.
