also on FRIDAY make sure to check out my man, AL DALE, aka The Minority Reporter's huge party in Brooklyn. Al is one of my favorite peoples in Brooklyn, so when he asked me to be one of the hosts' of the night that celebrates the one-year anniversary of his way-more-than-just-a-blog THE MINORITY REPORT, I gladly said yes. Al, one of the most stylish men alive actually managed to translate the virtual reality (which often gives an illusory sense of connectedness to the "real" world) into a real community with his blog. Kudoes to him for that.
