Thirty dollars??

Open bar for FOUR hours. But people can choose to not go the open bar route and buy drinks individually.

Ditto what Allah said.

Again, it's $30 to drink for free for 4 hours. If you feel you won't drink your moneys worth, you can get in for free and pay for your drinks as you go.

This is New York, $30 is like 4 beers + tip.

Thanks for doing this! I'll be there, with plans to consume $50-$60 dollars' worth of beverages, which comes out to a clear profit if you do the math.

Though per O'Reilly's orders, you have to call it "Christmas" again or else you're subject to boycotts.

Er, this is a party, not a poker event, right?

Subject to boycotts or yield to O'Reilly's immutable power!

$30 for 4 hours open bar is a sweet deal. Only lightweight's will find this unreasonable. The question is... do I get Belvedere with that?

Sean, how totally decadent of you! No, you don't get Belvedere, it's definitely not the top shelf list that we get to choose from.

hey is it bloggers only?

If Belvedere tasted the same as Absolut, you could call it decadent. There is, however, a difference in taste and quality.

anna,

Create a blog, write one entry, and you're a "blogger".

My guess is, though, that if you have the $30 on hand, you're in ;-)

PS - Can you have, like, a $35 option for top shelf?

Create a blog, write one entry, and you're a "blogger".

Hey, it's not quite that simple. This entry should ideally cover one of the following topics: how much you like some article of clothing, how much you hate Democrats and/or Republicans, or celebrity relationships. I mean, c'mon, we have some standards here.

Sean, trust me, expensive stuff is generally better than cheap stuff.

Anna, you are more than welcome, no blog needed.

Thank the heavens I qualify. Will be there, exercising my non-open bar option before I go to my second activity of the night. See you all there.

Wait? This is a poker event??!? I am so there.

Just found out I have a business dinner I can't get out of so scratch me from the list of attendees.

Sorry.

Am beginning to think that Dave Friedman is Karol's Tyler Durden.

doh, my one conservative friend says there is no way she's accompanying me to anything called a blogger party. oh well. have fun guys.

Well, if you want to come alone, we're a friendly bunch, I promise.

Uh, what does my not coming to this event have to do with Fight Club?

Well then, don't I wish I live in NYC?

So what if there's a strike?

Oh crap, it was TODAY?

This has been a great dumb-ass week.

In the words of a good friend of mine.

Happy festival of light and festivities.
