We're still working all the meat out of our system from Saturday's Gothamist-Serious Eats/AHT QBQ BBQ II, but we hope that those of you who made it had a good time. Thankfully, the forecasted rain held off as we served about 150 pounds of beef (600 burgers) during the event. A special thanks to Harry Hawk, the staff at Water Taxi Beach and some assistants from Gothamist, Serious Eats and A Hamburger Today, Six Apart, and for everyone who came out for the event. Apologies for the early line and beer flow issues. more ›

Extra special reminder: don't miss tonight's Gothamist-Six Apart happy hour at Sweet and Vicious (5 Spring Street, off Bowery), beginning around 7pm. It's right across the street from the opening of Eliot Shepard's show at Jen Bekman's gallery- that starts at 6pm, so you might want to go there first. Our happy hour will feature free drinks (hint: until the money runs out!) and extra special giveaways and surprise guests. Afterwards, some of us are going to go look at the elephants arriving in Manhattan- hilarity is sure to ensue. more ›

What Gothamist can't understand is why Six Apart doesn't have an office in NYC, which is quickly becoming the center of the blog world. For godsakes, there are rumors Jason Calacanis is moving back to town, Lockhart Steele is launching his super-secret Curbed blog on Monday, and Nick Denton has bought real estate here! With juice like that, the Big Apple deserves some more attention from the blog companies. When was the last time you saw someone from Blogger or MT eating at Gray's Papaya or passing out fliers you throw to the sidewalk immediately after getting them? Never! And we haven't seen Biz Stone at the McDonalds on West 4th in like four years! They are all over there in San Francisco, drinking their chai lattes and laughing at us. more ›

It was a great night at the SoHo Apple Store last night, with the NYC Photobloggers Exhibition. Not only did we get to see the photographs of clarsen, slower, Bluejake, Laura Holder (above), Infrangible, rion.nu, Satan's Laundromat, 990000, and lightningfield, we also got to more about their respective starts, processes, and favorite subjects - a nice sampling of different outlooks on photoblogging. Additionally, Anil spoke about Six Apart's Typepad (and demonstrated its moblog potential by creating one of the evening) and Adam and Scott explained the beauty of fotolog.net and its community building aspects. Thanks, photobloggers and friends! more ›
