PLEASE NOTE: Tickets are currently sold out for this month but please leave your information in the "Add to Waitlist" above if you're interested in future Websdays   Expanding with monthly events, Internet Week New York is joining forces with Richard Blakeley, creator of the festival’s hugely popular Webutante Ball, to launch Websdays, a monthly networking event for the New York City internet community.   The inaugural Websdays party will take place at 200 Orchard on Wednesday, July 27th from 8pm to midnight. Aiming to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere that captures the spirit of Internet Week New York and encourages casual networking, the events will be open to only a limited number of guests each month. Tickets are $10 and will be available beginning on Wednesday, July 20th at www.websdays.com.   The launch of Websdays comes on the heels of the most successful Internet Week New York yet.  Held this past June, the fourth annual Internet Week New York attracted more than 20,000 people, including Senator Chuck Schumer, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Ashton Kutcher, Arianna Huffington, and Lisa Kudrow, to over 250 conferences, meetups, exhibits, and parties across the city. Tickets for the festival’s Webutante Ball sold out in less than 24 hours and the event raised over $50,000 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation with the help of matched funds from Google's Sergey Brin.   “Unlike other cities, New York City’s tech community is extremely diverse, with innovative work happening across the board
