Last night, after grabbing dinner with the BirthdayBard and crew, I went to check out the Happy Hour event hosted by 601am and Gothamist. It was intended to be a happy hour party beginning at 7pm, but the party clearly didn't start until I arrived at 11pm. (Okay, so I caught the tail of end of it. My point is that I'm cool.)

Those from the crew whom I haven't met -- everyone but Aaron of 601am -- seemed really nice. There was even talk of more hanging out on the other side of the river (i.e. Brooklyn). This was far and away more social and more interesting than anything put together by Meetup.

The one thing that was a lot odd, and supposedly happened a lot before I arrived, was the bloggers who started fawning over those with the most number of hits -- the celebrity bloggers. I have determined that A-List Bloggers are the new bands. When I was 18,19 years old I would go ga-ga when I met a band I loved. Apparently, today's utes do the same for bloggers. Interesting.

Check out some photos from the event and go to the main site for some more info about the part-ay.
