48HR magazine party at the Coffee Bar

Late into the afternoon I was informed of a launch party for the 48HR magazine. An ex-coworker worked on the magazine and she said this "would interest me." Of course! And off I went, back to the Coffee Bar, which coincidentally, I came to two night ago to meet a friend.

This is a shot of "the post-it board" which editor Mat Honan brought. When he came the board was empty, by the left I was leaving at 8pm, it was filled with these stickies. (I contributed my word as well, can you guess which one?)

It was good times, despite the almost too absurd irony of getting a cease-and-desist order from CBS in the morning, regarding the name of "48 Hours." People were happy, proud, as they should be. Talked to some of the contributors, and it was great just see everyone coming together. The magazine's creation is very organic and spontaneous, as was the energy at the party. Since I didn't know too many people I couldn't score any interviews, so here are some (boring) panning shots of the cafe, for those of you who wanted to, but could not make it.
