Well, this came out. Bloggers drink! On the LES! Sometimes together! Lindsay says silly things! AJ likes boobies!
While I'm bemused by the article (and I like Chris Shott, still), I would like to say a few words in my defense:
* Apparently, making it clear that you don't want your name used at all in an article is the easiest way to sound like a ditzy asshole in the lede. Publicists of chick lit authors: take note!
* I would never, ever, EVER say "blogger party" without simultaneously rolling my eyes and doing a funny voice to indicate beyond any doubt that I was being ironic. I have no proof that I didn't do that that night, but it wouldn't have come across in print anyway.
* I believe the real quote, to Choire Sicha, overheard by the writer whom I'd not yet met, was "Have I seen you recently? I think I had a dream about you because it seems like I've seen you recently." or something equally banal.
* The line "all my friends are bloggers" comes from my about page:
"I moved to New York, and started blogging, in 2000. (That's why all my friends are bloggers. It's like, totally okay.)"
I was, like, apologizing and being self aware and shit! See?
I'm totally willing to take one for the team, though, because seeing AJ Daulerio called a skirt-chaser in (pretty pink) print is worth it. I think I'll invite him to the next blogger party... in my pants!
I was finishing my comment back home with the line that center of bloggerdom was, obgliatorily, in my pants. But thanks for getting there first.
Oh, and I'll be sending you a dry cleaning bill for the shirt.
