***BLOGGER PARTY NYC*** (Final Bump with new poll)
It's on, baby. Are you a blogger? Do you read blogs? Everyone is invited.
I'm not sending out an evite like I've done in the past because inevitably I forget to include people on it and feelings get hurt. So, fellow bloggers, please post a note about the party on your site and invite anyone that wants to attend. If at all possible, leave a comment here letting me know you'll be attending so I can give the bar a semi-accurate count. I will keep bumping this post until the day of the party.
This is not just for political bloggers but since I'm the one organizing it it's likely that political bloggers, particularly the right-leaning kind, will be heavily represented. If you feel you won't be able to maintain composure if outnumbered by non-liberals, this event is probably not for you.
The deets:
WHERE: Mica Bar, 252 E 51st St, between Second and Third Avenues.
WHEN: Saturday, September 9th, 8:30pm.
See y'all there.

Shall we agree to arrive before 11pm?
You set it locally so I'll go so far as to promise you I'll be there. Eventually :)
Posted by: Ari at September 6, 2006 03:39 PMI'm bringing my posse, but it's basically a LiveJournal/Xanga contingent, so they may unintentionally sully your fine, respectable blogger affair. I'm willing to take that chance though. And I'm also going to Burger Joint beforehand to load up on bovine goodness.

Posted by: Tatyana at September 6, 2006 03:48 PMI love that the first two responders were Democrat, non-political bloggers. See, everyone is welcome!
Posted by: Karol at September 6, 2006 03:53 PMIf by first responder you mean "Democrat" and "non-political"
Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at September 6, 2006 03:56 PMBriefly, between other events -- and I _do_ edit a blog at work, so security should _not_ oust me. (Personal blog will launch one day soon, I swear.)
i could be political. i was considering doing a post today about how suri cruise looks kyrgyz and how that reflects very badly on the faltering central asian country. but i'm a democrat, non-political blogger. what do i know?
Posted by: E. E. Grimshaw at September 6, 2006 04:14 PMI will bring my Liberal Hawk posse. My guesstimate is 6-10 of us.
Posted by: Yehudit at September 6, 2006 04:18 PMI'ma be in Chicago, laughing at their pizza.
Posted by: Ken at September 6, 2006 04:37 PMYou're killin' me.
Around the corner from Smith & Wollensky
(I grew up in Manhattan, you know.)
Tip one back for me!
Posted by: Jeremayakovka at September 6, 2006 04:39 PMCount me in!
Posted by: Petitedov at September 6, 2006 04:53 PMThis is perfect. My friend is hosting a party at Corner 51 right near Mica. Everyone feel free to drop by after. The party will be going until 4 AM.
Details on New York Hotlist will be posted soon.
Posted by: New York Hotlist at September 6, 2006 05:52 PMCan we have a favorite alarming news blog comment drinking contest.....
My favorite post this week was the guy who said
..all you care about is being a Colonel in the 101st Keyboard battalion..
I crack up every time I think about that comment.
I'll be the guy wearing the Che Guevara T-shirt and matching beret.
Is that 8:30 Russian time ?
Posted by: dan the Democrat at September 6, 2006 05:57 PMCount me in. I'll be sure to blog about your party and the one afterwards.
Posted by: Zelda at September 6, 2006 07:02 PMOK, OK...I'll finish with Shabbat and the gym and then head over...see y'all soon.
Posted by: Esther Kustanowitz at September 6, 2006 08:11 PMGoing to try to make it ........
Posted by: Pamela aka Atlas at September 6, 2006 09:13 PMPARTY!! Ooops...I live in the Boca Burrough, so it will be too much commute. Schedule a Florida blog party this winter. ;)
Posted by: Madzionist at September 7, 2006 02:21 AMI'll be there. I love it, it's like a giant internet blind date, except with over a dozen people.
Posted by: T. at September 7, 2006 08:14 AMBe prepared. I'm coming with nametags.
Posted by: PN at September 7, 2006 09:05 AMI'll be there.
Posted by: Ed Z at September 7, 2006 09:36 AMfree MUMIA!!!!
Sorry had to break up the Republican luv-fest
Downtown's better for me. Move it. Thanks.
Posted by: Ren at September 7, 2006 02:26 PMI'm at a wedding in Philly that afternoon, but sashaying briskly back into town for the occasion. On a scale of 1-to-gauche, how big a blogger party foul is it to come bearing campaign literature? (The venue is in the district - really, my hands are tied.)
Posted by: Flip at September 7, 2006 02:34 PMSeriously... that is way above 23rd street.
Posted by: toby at September 7, 2006 02:46 PMI say do it. You're a blogger, you know what other bloggers will want to see/hear from a candidate at a party.
Posted by: Karol at September 7, 2006 02:47 PMUnfortunately, I will be wearing name-tag repellant clothing.
Posted by: Ari at September 7, 2006 04:26 PMAri,
U don't need a tag, we'll be looking for teeth marks.
Great blog by the way. I spent a whole Grande Mocha reading your posts (That's a REAL long time for me).
Posted by: dan the Democrat at September 7, 2006 05:07 PMAdvance warning that you'll be checking out my thigh - how gentlemanly of you ;)
Posted by: Ari at September 7, 2006 07:19 PMAnd it's no venti but i'm highly flattered nonetheless. Thank you.
Posted by: Ari at September 7, 2006 07:25 PMdan, you were a VERY SLOW breached birth weren't you?
Posted by: Radical Redneck at September 8, 2006 09:40 AMYou're just mad because Ari likes me better.
I wouldn't wear the Confederate doo-rag to the blogger-party, you may look out of place.
Dance Redneck, Dance!
Who were the Confederates (as well as the post-war KKK terrorists)? That's right - Democrats!
Yee-Haw!
Posted by: Radical Redneck at September 8, 2006 01:27 PMwhat's this poll business? i'm bringing nametags. end of story.
Posted by: PN at September 8, 2006 03:07 PMWill the name tags match my shoes?
Posted by: Lisa at September 8, 2006 03:16 PMSpeaking of confederates, I'll be the one who looks like Robt E Lee..if I bring Traveler do I need a nametag?
Posted by: epaminondas at September 8, 2006 03:35 PMNametags are a good idea. Bringing your own nametag? That's dorky.
Posted by: Esther at September 8, 2006 04:28 PMOne of these days I'll have to get to one of your fabulous blogger bashes, Karol. Alas, this weekend it won't happen. Have fun, everyone.
Posted by: Giacomo at September 8, 2006 05:42 PMKarol, email me at atlasshrugs2000 at aol
Posted by: Pamela aka Atlas at September 8, 2006 10:21 PMDang Mike - I was hoping it would be at your house!
Posted by: Greta (Hooah Wife) at September 9, 2006 10:49 AMHey danno, will you be a'playing your 5-string?
Posted by: Radical Redneck at September 9, 2006 01:41 PMSo, Karol, besides Dan, who got drunk and made an ass of themselves?
Posted by: sam at September 10, 2006 02:08 PMDo tell about the party, inquiring minds want to know......
Red [radical redneck], nobody knows what a "5-string" means except you. Upon opening the link I realized you're referring to a banjo but by then it really wasn't funny. Most people play the guitar these days, Panama Red.
