You’ve seen The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. You’ve seen Real Time with Bill Maher. But we know that you’re just like the host of this show: You’re an average schnook. You don’t know all the facts, all the names, or all the answers and neither does Peter DeGiglio, host of... The Skinny.

Join us Wednesday, February 1st (Peter's...

What can I say? 30's been a great year. I met some interesting people, I did some fun things. I'm a little older, a little more scarred. I relish all the delights that come with being a late bloomer to life. I can only imagine the rest of my 30s will be wholly awful. Come join me in a beer or two, and help me usher in what will probably...

Wine, cheese and other delectables. Beth Griffenhagen reading haikus and telling stories. Anna David reading bits of her book related to those stories. Rachel Kramer Bussel moderating. A haiku writing contest complete with fabulous prizes. Serious lady bonding and thus amazing odds for all men in attendance.

Come get festive/drunk with us & get smooched under the mistletoe at our humble abode. We'll be making holiday punch and egg nog (duh) and will be covering the kitchen table with foods to snack on.

Come equipped with your drinks to drink on and your holiday cheer!

Hey everyone,

It's Andrea's birthday! She's the big 25 on Thursday, October 27th! But, I promise, I swear this isn't a surprise prank birthday thing like last year. She knows what's happening!

So, we're going to have dinner at a restaurant in Clinton Hill and then drinks at Hot Bird. If you can come meet us sometime...

Hey you, yeah you.

I'm a year older. I think we should have a drink together. I think we should have a champagne tower. I think we should dance in front of the fireplace. I think we should get a little weird. I think John Munson should wear a velour suit. Just saying.

One of my favorite DJs off the Dim-Mak label is flying in from LA to DJ...

I'm somehow turning 34 this weekend-- and would love if you who I like so much could join me for a drink or 17 on Monday at that place we always seem to go to have a drink (T&J's).

Whiskey might be involved, I am sure, and maybe karaoke afterwards?

(Totally last-minute, mea culpa.)

I'm turning 26 on Tuesday. Come grab a drink at Old Town on Thursday, because Tuesdays are for weiners.

By the time you reach my age, you've already met so many people that every new acquaintance reminds you of someone else. September ninth marks the beginning of my last year in my twenties. I think that deserves at least a cocktail or seven. Come hang out at Destination Bar and we'll reminisce about how being old is always fifteen years...

Come celebrate our 1st birthday with us at our favorite bar, 61 Local.

There will be a screening of our brand new short starring Linas Phillips and Matt Fisher at 9 pm and there might even be some cake afterward.

We will be drinking, talking and drinking to celebrate one year of existence, the completion of our first narrative short film and...

Hosted by Epic Win author Cole Stryker and featuring IRL bloggers and Web personalities performing dialogues and...

I've got some bad news for those of you who have been trying to get your bodies ready for swimsuit season: uh, guys, it IS swimsuit season. What you see is what you have. But you know what? Maybe this is a good lesson in just taking things as they come. Hey, speaking of taking things as they come, why don't you take these comedians as...

I'll be at Boulevard from 3 to 6 PM, and at Graham Ave L-adjacent Mother's afterwards. Come to either or both: they both have outdoor space in the back. Here's a review of Mother's I wrote for NY Press two years ago when it opened: http://www.nypress.com/article-19599-passing-the-bar-mothers.html
Feel free to bring anyone...
