A Few Spaces Left For Consumerist Party Tuesday

2009-05-18T17:13:33Z

There's about 30 spots left if you want to go to the Consumerist/Consumer Reports party/panel-discussion this Tuesday night from 6-8pm at the 92Y at 200 Hudson in New York, NY. Come Hear Ben Popken, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, MSNBC's Red Tape Chronicles Bob Sullivan, and The Daily Beast's Rachel Sklar. Moderated by Consumer Reports Editorial Director Kevin McKean, the topic is "Defending The Endangered Consumer: High Impact Journalism in a Low-Budget Era." Also in attendance, Consumerist bloggers Meg Marco, Carey Greenberg-Berger, Chris Walters, Alex Chasick and Laura Northrup. Should be a good time. RSVP for a free drink at rsvp@consumerist.com.

@Michael Belisle: THAT would be quite the draw.
Or barring that, at least a hypothetical playlist. C'MON, Ben!

The only thing better than slightly tipsy panel moderating is slightly tipsy naked panel moderating.
In a nod to Kevin McKean's overseeing duties, however, he may wear a hat of his own choosing. Decorum allows this, according to Roberts Naked Rules of Order.

...With Megan a safe distance away, tittering. Clothed. Tittering. Safely. A distance away. Pervs.

I promise here and now that if anyone gets a little too tipsy and leaves, let's say, a blue labcoat on their chair, I will NOT take it. I promise.

Sounds like a good time, but "moderated" and "party" don't really go well with each other.
