Suitably Flip

Neither Rain, Nor Freezing Rain, Nor Snow Mixed With Rain...

...will keep New York bloggers from a good party.

I don't know what our total headcount was last night (60? 70? Hard to say as people were coming and going all night), but it was a great crowd.  I had the distinct (and mildly surreal) pleasure of finally meeting the faces behind the posts, including co-hosts Karol, Scott, and The Man, as well as my blogfather, and plenty of other charming and witty partygoers.

Every time I had a conversation with a blogger, I kept waiting for them to say something like, "You know who has something interesting to say about this topic?  Stan.  Here, let me point you out to Stan.  But first, let me quote you a little sample of what he told me."

But to my amazement, we all chatted and socialized and yukked it up much like normal human beings.

Among the other guests I had the pleasure of chatting with were Phil from Red Guy In a Blue State, Joan from Mamacita, Zelda from The Urban Grind, Owen from Light on the Sacred, Heavy on the Profane, Ari from Ari Goes Down, Ace from Ace of Spades, Yaron from Daily Lunch, Kat from The Wisdom of Change, and Pamela from Atlas Shrugs (who thinks I look like Frank Sinatra).

What do New York bloggers talk about when they get together?

• Transit strike
• 2006 elections
• 2008 elections
• Whether they've read your site
• Whether you've read their site
• When the bar staff might be bringing more quesadillas

It was a grand old time.  Thanks to everyone that was able to come!
