The bar tab's topping a thousand bucks, thanks to two new sponsors (Sustainable Web Sites with $100 and Supreme Platinum Sponsor Supr.c.ilio.us with ten bucks).

Everyone from the Internet will be there. Will you?

Here's the game plan:

  • Drinking starts at 9. Events start at 9:30ish.
  • BRING YOUR CAMERA. Or microphone. Or camphone. Or camcorder. We're gonna hold a very special event with all this equipment, and it will make you a better person.
  • I'll interview programming superstar David Weekly, whose "you call it stalking, I call it preparedness" service SingleStat.us is turning into a microcosm of the Valley. (We'll explain why.)
  • Geek Entertainment TV host Irina Slutsky will interview someone awesome. That someone will probably be dragged, screaming, to the stage.
  • The rest of the night is yours. It's open-mike night for anything and everything you have to say about the Internet. Meanwhile, just hang out — that's what conferences are for.

So come knock a few back and yell about the Net. But if you're not funny, we'll throw our drinks at you — after all, they're free.

<![CDATA[Specified sucking: How to suck up to seven pundit bloggers]]> Guy Kawasaki sparked a debate by writing "How to Suck Up to a Blogger." Is it ethical to pile schwag and compliments on bloggers? Who the hell cares, it's fun. But it'll take a more careful approach to really win over certain A-list bloggers:

Blogger Site Who should suck up And how
Mike Arrington TechCrunch Web startups Leak your IPO
Om Malik Gigaom More web startups Leak your bankruptcy filing
Robert Scoble Scobleizer Unpopular Microserfs "Robert, your conversations look good naked."
Gabe Rivera Memeorandum Soon-to-be-famous bloggers Link to the high-and-mighty bloggers
Kyle Bunch Blogebrity Not-even-internet-famous bloggers Get Amanda Congdon's phone number
Ryan King and Eran Globen Supr.c.ilio.us Stowe Boyd Buy the next round of beer
Cory Doctorow Boing Boing Everyone who's anyone Send him whuffie
