I hate hosting parties. I'm generally bad at it and it stresses me out. As a result, I don't really have any involvement with mediabistro's usual party hosting and planning. But I agreed to do the launch parties for the new blogs, so last Monday we officially "launched" FishbowlNY.com, even though the site has been live since January. (This is, of course, in keeping with historical precedent. We launched Gawker in December of '02 and threw the launch party in February of '03.) The weather was nasty—blizzard-y, in fact—but the turnout was great.
For added self-referential meta-ness, Gawker covered the party. Their excellent photographer, Nikola, shot these photos.
