Delia Cai takes the crown for best party-host-slash-newsletter-writer. Last night, she invited her readers out for a “media mixer” that really just felt like a successful night at Public Records. Instead of the bar’s usual crowd of product managers wearing oversized Bode shirts and quirked-up rings, it was mostly-employed writers and politely ambitious recent grads.
Attendees included: Casey Lewis, fresh off the plane Rachel Karten, Brock Colyar, Cake Zine’s Aliza Abarbanel and Tanya Bush, Teddy (T.M.) Brown, laura reilly, Sam Hine, Samantha Leach, Max Tani, Kiara Barrow, Arden Yum, and former Feed Me assistant Zack Hauptman—and I brought Krithika Varagur after our dinner at Lonnie’s (smashburger was messy but fantastic). I heard that a few attendees found the event just by browsing Eventbrite for things to go to. Honestly, cool.
