| Party Photos: Gay Media in Los Angeles We took our second L.A. Gay media party to the heart of Hollywood. mb assistant director of education Erwin Ong co-hosted the party with Steve Pride, president of the L.A. Chapter of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association. The partygoers enjoyed the stiff cocktails and the delicious food (who doesn't love a good plate of sweet potato fries?) all night long. February 17, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: Pre-Valentine's Day in New York Media types may be too busy to date, but we’re never too busy to party. MB and TooBusytoDate.net set the mood with an open-bar and brought in over 150 media folks together for the February 1st All-Media mixer at Light. To make it the sweetest affair of the year, we gave away "Key to My Heart" keychains and Fairytale brownies. It's almost enough to make single people love Valentine's Day. February 17, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: Change Your Life Party in New York MB instructor Susan Shapiro hosted our recent "Change Your Life Party" in New York, celebrating the paperback release of her memoir Lighting Up: How I Stopped Smoking, Drinking, and Everything Else I Loved in Life Except Sex. Authors, reporters, editors, publicists, and more (some of whom were Susan's former students) joined to congratulate the author and each other for making positive changes in their own lives. February 17, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: PR in Los Angeles Our guests at Korean restaurant Zip Fusion loved the sleek design and hot atmosphere that provided the perfect setting for our PR party. Publicists from all over the city gathered for good company, complimentary appetizers, and drinks with a pan-Asian twist. There were so many PR folks there, you've probably already heard about this party. We can't wait for the next one. February 17, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Denver New mediabistro.com hostess Kim Stone and hard-core Mile High mediabistro.com members helped heat up Denver during the year's first major snow storm. The 15 or so mb devotees braved the cold to get together, mix and mingle, and enjoy — what else? — frozen gelato cocktails at LoDo's swanky Gelazzi gelato bar. February 10, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Dallas Fulltime staffers and freelancers gathered at Press Box Grill in downtown Dallas to meet, greet, and drink at the first all-media mediabistro.com happy hour of 2006. The ridiculously warm "winter" weather inspired many to get out, including a couple who drove all the way in from Tyler, Texas — that's 100 miles away! — to join the fun. We were glad to see some old friends, including many from the staff at D Magazine, as well as new faces: freelancer Cheryl Collett brought her new baby, Riley. February 10, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Atlanta Atlanta's media folks started off 2006 with a bang, as dozens of writers, editors, designers and public relations experts turned out for mediabistro.com's first party of the year, held at Sutra Lounge in Midtown. There were plenty of new faces — some even made the trek from Columbus, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama! Over cocktails and '80s tunes, newcomers and veterans made the event one to remember for MB Atlanta. February 10, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: Marketing and Media in New York What's better than one media company throwing a party? How about two? MediaVillage.com joined mediabistro.com for a marketing and media party at the Bowery hotspot Mannahatta. We celebrated MediaVillage.com's new job board, empowered by mediabistro. Our first 100 guests had a free drink, bested only by free movie tickets for the first 25 guests. Who says it's fashionable to be late? February 3, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Chicago MB celebrated the New Year with a Chicago All-Media party hosted by producer Stuart Cleland, editor Caroline Manley, and senior editor Jennifer Morrell. Room 22 proved yet again to be an ideal meeting spot with a turnout of over 90 people! Guests chatted the night away while sipping on the bar's famous martinis and happily posing for pictures. Caroline and Jennifer proudly flaunted their feather boas while showing Amanda Guralski (host-in-training) the ropes of an mb party. Although Stuart was not clad in a feather boa, he was still able to live up to his mb host status! We hope to see all of you at next month's event! February 3, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Philadelphia We had such a blast at our December party at the World Café Live in Philadelphia, we decided to go back for more in January. The music was live, the martinis were super-sized, the crowd of radio, TV, print, and online types kept the party going well into the night. February 3, 2006 |
|
| FishbowlLA Goes to Sundance MB instructor and photographer Caren Alpert took a trip to the Sundance Film Festival and grabbed some shots for FishbowlLA. From snow boarding to dogsledding, olympians and apprentices, there was plenty of action outside of the screening rooms. January 31, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: Meet the Teachers in Los Angeles MB alumni and potential students gathered at the Workmen's Circle (while Yiddish classes went on in the other room!) for drinks and snacks and an opportunity to meet our teachers and learn about new classes and seminars. A record number of students signed up for classes on the spot. You would have, too: Our teachers are pretty damned charming. January 27, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in San Francisco The San Francisco Bay Area mediabistro.com posse kicked off the new year in style! Our gracious friends at 111 Minna set us up to mingle, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and toss back a few fog city cocktails one Tuesday evening in January. MacWorld Expo, at the nearby Moscone Center, brought new friends from all over the country to join in our "All-Media Party" fun—which, of course, thrilled us. The more, the merrier—in every season! January 27, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: PR & Advertising in Seattle MB celebrated its first-ever PR/Marketing/Advertising cocktail party hosted by PR manager Joann Natalia Aquino and writer Michael Bradbury at the newly opened Red Fin at Hotel Max. Publicists, marketers, and ad folks gathered, mingled, and enjoyed a fabulous night of shoptalk over savory sushi and stiff cocktails. Some even got a private tour of the modernized uber-artsy Hotel Max. January 20, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in New York New Yorkers celebrated the last all-media party of 2005 at Manahatta, a mediabistro favorite. With revelers from so many different industries—magazines, PR, advertising, publishing, newspapers, new media, and old media. Our friends at Hundreds of Heads Books co-hosted the event, putting their unique survival guides into the hands of dozens of influential media mavens. With 2005 ending so well, we can't wait to see what happens in 2006! January 20, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: Edit Staff in New York We know how difficult holidays can be, so mediabistro threw a "Holiday Survival Party" for our editorial staff friends in New York We gathered at a new lounge, Stone Creek, to brace ourselves for too much sweet food, boisterous neighbors, and meddling in-laws. Our friends at Hundreds of Heads Books co-hosted the event, chatting with guests from The New York Times, Soap Opera Digest, McGraw-Hill, Variety, Reader's Digest, Cigar Aficionado, and The New Yorker. January 13, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Seattle The looming threat of snow didn't keep the media at home on a Wednesday night. Ibiza was hopping with journos and their friends all night long. Over 100 writers, editors, producers, authors, and PR folks met and mingled, sharing their trials and tribulations along with their successes and recent accolades. Old friends caught up and new arrivals melted easily into the MB flow while sipping mango tangos and cosmopolitans. The biz buzz at the party was positive and it appears that after a few slow years, the media market in Seattle is poised to pop with new opps. Look out 2006! January 13, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: Agency Party in New York Advertising pros gathered at this Meatpacking District hot spot for drinks and campaign strategies. Apt's cool and relaxed vibe let everyone forget all about that client presentation coming up the next morning. Thanks to co-sponsor MediaPost for such a successful party! January 6, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: AvantGuild in New York This year, we toasted our AvantGuild members at The Falls (happily within a block of mb headquarters). Plenty of mb staffers were on hand to introduce the NY AG crowd around, and Guild members finally had a chance to put some faces with the names they see heating up the bulletin boards! January 6, 2006 |
|
| Party Photos: PR in New York MB teamed up with the Publicity Club of New York to throw a party for our PR pals. Never had the Lower East Side seen so many PR folks gathered in one spot, but Libation had room for all of them. December 23, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: AvantGuild Holiday Party in Los Angeles Every year, we like to reward our AvantGuild members by gathering them together, buying them a drink (and a little seafood risotto), and toasting to another successful year of media professionalism. In West Hollywood at the former Mustache Cafe, spirits were high and flowing. December 23, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Chicago Not even the blistering cold could keep our media folks from mingling at Rockit, but then again, they're used to it. Attendees came from every part of CHI-town, the burbs, Indiana and even Wisconsin (whew!!). Great job to our first time mb hostesses—Chicago Agent magazine senior editor Jennifer Morrell and Business Wire editor Caroline Manley—for making the most of a very busy venue. The large holiday crowd enjoyed a great night of conversation and cocktails and snacked on some delicious sweet potato fries. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see all of you at our next party in January! December 16, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Gay Media in Los Angeles mediabistro co-hosted its first ever gay media party at iCandy Bar and Lounge with the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association (NGLJA) and LPI Media. The bar was bustling throughout the event, with the 80 or so attendees—who work in print, TV, cable, and radio—fueled by hors d'oeuvres, amazing cocktails, and great conversation. Thanks to Out in Film and Television (OTF) for their assistance. And, yes, if you must know, we did have a gay old time. December 16, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Denver LODO? We do! Media professionals from the worlds of publishing, magazines, PR, and others gathered at Flow Lounge for a night of high-end drinks and lowdown discussion. Soft lighting brings out our social side, but the drink specials also did their part. With a creative cocktail menu and plenty of offbeat appetizers, Flow Lounge was a great place for mediabistro aficionados to gather and blather. December 9, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Los Angeles A hungry, festive crowd descended on the Courtyard in West Hollywood last night, chock-full of good cheer and glad tidings. Instead of blah old egg nog and roast turkey, the Courtyard bartenders steered us toward Red Sangria drink specials, and pass-along tapas such as bacon-wrapped dates and arepas. The event was held outdoors, in the--right!--lovely well-lighted Courtyard, and significant conversations (among 150 near-and-dear media) flourished until 10 p.m. And to all a very good night! December 9, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in San Francisco San Francisco Magazine once voted Jade the city's best bar. Only the best for our media friends in the foggy city, so what better place for a cocktail party? From an honest-to-goodness waterfall to a koi pond, the atmosphere at Jade was conducive to come-hither glances, a few potent potables, and plenty of talk. We can't wait till the next one. December 2, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Media/Film in Washington, D.C. Thank goodness there's a coffeehouse/bar/lounge in D.C. for mediabistro to frequent. We love our options! We also love parties. So Tryst was an excellent place to have one. A party, we mean. Not a tryst. Well ... maybe. The party was pretty great. The film and media pros in our nation's capital were happy to take a break and join us for a drink or two at this Adams-Morgan hotspot. Won't you stop by next month? December 2, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Boston Are you Paul Newman in The Hustler or Tom Cruise in The Color of Money? mediabistro's Boston cohorts found their inner pool shark late last month at Felt. From pr to publishing, our guests lined up their shots and talked serious smack. But it was all in good fun, especially as the cocktail hour went on ... and on. November 18, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Miami As endless rains pelted New York City, mediabistro was amped to hit Miami and the new(ish) Rex at The Marlin. We drew a good assortment of media types, from publishers to photographers to producers to reporters. And as the weather grows colder, believe us—we'll be back. Our friends in South Florida know it's all about location, location, location. November 18, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: All-Media in Detroit Our November gathering at Crave was small but lively. Among the new and familiar faces were a media mix from print journalists to TV and video to photography. Crave was a big hit with its lounge-like ambiance—low lighting, constant music beat, swanky sofas, and gossamer-like sheers on the floor to ceiling windows. The food was apparently a hit, too, with many attendees ordering and sharing in the sushi that was served up like edible art. More parties in upcoming months. Join us, Detroit! November 18, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: D.C. All-Media A Cuban restaurant and lounge should have excellent mojitos, and DC's Yuca did not disappoint. In fact, regular mb partygoer Brandy Simms had his first mojito ever, and if his initial reaction ("That's really good!") was any indication, he probably had a lot more. Kudos to mb hostess Susan Breitkopf for making the party despite the fact that she's expecting, and for rocking a hot soon-to-be-mama outfit to boot. And congrats to mb hostess Rina Rapuano, who closes on her new house this month. Special thanks to writer Chad Sekerchak for dutifully fetching a digital camera from his car to snap party photos when the photographer failed to show. Chad, when you sell your screenplay, we promise to come to the movie premiere. November 11, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: New York Publishing The World Bar called out to the book publishing world and it answered with a bunch of industry types looking for a good time and a good drink. They found the right place for both, from agents to writers to editors. November 11, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Women's Mag Dinner Our third annual Women's Magazine Editors Dinner drew quite the roster of co-hosts: Cindi Leive of Glamour, Janice Min of Us Weekly, Brandon Holley of Jane, Mandi Norwood of Shop Etc., Isobel Price of All You, and Kate White of Cosmopolitan. At the Four Seasons, 80 editors (men can be women's magazine editors, too!) wined, dined, and mingled before enjoying a panel discussion about celebrity coverage and balancing work and family, among other issues. Our sponsor was Shopping.com. How apropos. November 4, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Chicago All-Media Create Magazine just launched a Chicago edition and asked mediabistro.com and Progressive Impressions International to party with them. Media professionals of all kind welcomed the new mag to the Second City. We checked out the new issue and chatted it up in the sleek confines of Room 22. Next month, you should join us! November 4, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: NY TV We love television so much that we decided to have a party for it. We got in touch with all the TV people we know and invited them for a couple drinks and some complimentary appetizers at the Chemist Club Grill in the Dylan Hotel. With every corner of the industry from network news to talk shows at the party, everyone had so much to talk about that we'll just have to throw another one. October 28, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: The Power of the Purse Book Party When we heard our friend Fara Warner had a book coming out, we wanted to celebrate with her.

| Party Photos: NY Design mediabistro sometimes gets so obsessed with words and reporters that we forget how bad our text would look if it weren't accompanied by graphics and photos. Since nothing mends fences like a party, we showed our designer friends we meant no harm by inviting them to Pioneer for a night of drinks, typeface talk, and invading each other's white space. October 21, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: New York All-Media Media professionals of all stripes joined forces at the midtown hotspot Light at mediabistro's monthly all-media party.

|
| Party Photos: LA All-Media Our continuing quest for bi-coastal domination led mediabistro to Maurya for a night of drinking and discussion with friendly media types in Los Angeles. We talked TV, movies, newspapers, and the ole Interweb. But that wasn't enough. We also had free hors d'oeuvres! October 21, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: LA Game Night The outdoor patio of El Cid—nestled in a Silverlake hillside—was a great backdrop for our first ever Los Angeles game night.

October 14, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Denver All-Media mb hostess Lisa Barr returned to draw Denver media pros to LODO and ply them with cheap mango martinis at Flow Lounge in the Luna Hotel. Would they share the secrets of their success? Or just admire their reflection in the flattering light of the lounge? Actually, they all started talking to each other about this and that and, yes, we'd love another martini, thank you. We can't wait till next month! October 14, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Seattle All-Media Over 75 media professionals tasted wines from local vinters at the Washington Tasting Room in Seattle's historic Pike Place Market. The crisp fall day gave way to a brisk evening ideal for gathering a bunch of journos in a cozy wine cave to mingle and meet Paul Beveridge (that's really his name), owner of Wilridge Winery. The atmosphere brimmed with media scuttlebut about Seattle Magazine's sudden competition and a possible lawsuit. With a great mix of folks from TV, print, radio and book publishing, the mb event started fall on a sweet note, not unlike the Apex ice wine that seemed to be a crowd favorite. October 14, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Chicago All-Media Even the blustery winds and horizontal rain of the Big Windy couldn't stop these die hard mb socialites from making their rounds. Inside the warm and cozy Cozmo's on Chicago's north side we clincked house specialty martinis and chatted about love, life, politics (well not exactly politics, but ya' know), and anything in between. All media were on deck to say goodbye to host Rod McCollum and hello to new hosts Stuart (we like to call him Stu) McCleland and Kim Gill. October 7, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: D.C. All-Media Seeking relief from the searing summer heat, D.C. media types gathered under the neon lighting at Eyebar on August 25 for a few cool drinks. As the party progressed, former Hanley Wood coworkers reunited and a freelancer found a fellow writer willing to provide quotes for her article about why men date bitchy women (answer pending, perhaps indefinitely). Thanks to the guys from the L.A. Times for sticking out the party until the very end. We hope you got clearance to comp that bar tab. October 7, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Boston All-Media We happily returned to Boston to spend time with our friends in the biz at our favorite spot—Les Zygomates.

October 7, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: New York All-Media Publishing or publicizing. Broadcasting or broadsheets. Photographer or photocopier.

|
| Party Photos: NY Book Industry The literary lions of New York joined mediabistro for an evening of beers, books, and free passes to see The Constant Gardner.

We even had some guests from as far away as Ohio—thanks for coming! September 30, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: New York Editorial New Yorkers traditionally escape a sweltering summer by taking to their roofs for a drink and a breeze.

| Party Photos: Miami All-Media Sexy, sultry Miami. If anyone knows how to party, it's our media bretheren and sisteren in South Florida. We wanted them to show us how it's done, so mediabistro had an all-media party at The Room in Miami Beach. The wine and beer flowed and we considered never going back north. September 16, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: Denver All-Media Denver's Hotel Monaco provides a sophisticated setting for all manners of fraternizing and cavorting. They also serve beer. In short, it was the perfect place for mb's recent All-Media Party.

|
| Party Photos: LA Meet the Teachers Since making our way out to California, mb has met some fantastic people. A few were so knowledgable and experienced, we invited them to teach a class.

|
| Party Photos: Seattle All-Media Some of the most exciting and refreshing media seems to come screaming out of Seattle.

| Party Photos: New York Freelancers Freelancing can be a lonely life, so it's no wonder that so many of those strident independents met up with mb at Pioneer, one of our favorite spots on the Bowery. We had the spacious back room all to ourselves and took full advantage of the happy hour. By the end of the night, we envied our guests who wake up and go down the hall to get to work. September 2, 2005 |
|
| Party Photos: New York Photographers On August 24th, mediabistro.com was able to coax some of New York's hottest photographers out from behind the camera to celebrate our first ever Summer and Heat Photo Contest.
