Gawker, New York Observer, and becoming a "real New Yorker"

Sheila McClear over at Gawker hyped our resident fameballs, Neal Boulton and Rex Sorgatz (pictured below via Gawker). Please come out to hear what I'm sure are going to be wild tales from them and all our readers.

In The Flesh gets Gawked

And Meredith Bryan plugged this week's In The Flesh in her 8 Days a Week column in The New York Observer:

Meanwhile, horny yet perpetually flaccid hipsters flock to a True Sex Confessions Night on the Lower East Side, where, explained buxom brunette host Rachel Kramer Bussel, “people can give their own true confessions on index cards and I read them out loud.” Ms. Bussel, an editor at Penthouse, started writing erotica when in law school at N.Y.U. Also: “I have a blog about cupcakes.” Of course you do!

And perhaps most excitingly, my little reading series is #182 of a Meetup group's 1001 Things To Do To Make Me a "Real New Yorker" - join the group here.
