Here's a pic I forgot to post:

From left you have Ron Lewenberg of NYC Right, Steve Silver, Judith of Kesher Talk and Mary of Exit Zero.
I've determined that the frighteningly young girls who went into the party at the same time I did blog here. They unwittingly zero in upon the reason their youth freaked me out in that post. I am indeed a white guy around 30 with a paunch and a social disorder and seeing Gen Y represent is not something I'm accustomed to. Also, they accurately describe the incredibly weird bollywood/bordello surroundings we were all in, and the fact that everyone was standing awkwardly. Why the hell where we all standing? We were all supposed to be lounging on banquettes and such. Anyway, these girls do sound like they're pretty cool, according to this Dawn Summers write-up. Remembering individual Encyclopedia Brown books is pretty crazy. Now Choose Your Own Adventure on the other hand . . .
It's funny that they mention Sisters and how the show got no press. I never really watched it, but I remember the show existing. However the show remained so obscure despite its apparent five year run that it often felt like something I'd imagined or dreamed because no one else remembered it when I talked to them about it.
Because no one else seems to be linking to the poor guy and I appreciate his initiative, I'll link to Barry Popik, a candidate for Manhattan Borough President on both the Republican and Liberal lines who smartly came to the party to campaign. I should say he didn't really campaign, his charismatic handler (Karol says she was his fiancee) did the campaigning. He just kind of stood there looking dorky and uncharismatic, even by New York politician standards. Despite how clueless she seems to have been in dealing with Dawn Summers, the flack seemed pretty cool.
To make sure that the snake completely devours its tail I'll link to Karol's roundup of accounts of the night.
