Thanks for the memories, BlogsGivingers! Our annual social hour and fundraiser for Northwest Harvest was last night at the Bourbon Bar at Columbia City Theater, and we raised $150 and a big box of food (mostly canned, which I discovered makes hauling it to the car quite a workout).

Co-sponsoring blogerati included Amber from Rainier Valley Post, Maia from SouthendSeattle, Justin from Capitol Hill Seattle (our Tutta Bella pizza provider, everyone thank CHS!) and Allecia, Amy, and Morgen from Seattlest--along with guests Curt Milton of Eastlake Ave., Tri Nguyen of the late, lamented Columbia City Blog, John Jensen from Seattle Transit Blog, and ECB from PubliCola. Oh, and Danae, all the way from Lake City Live, ladies and gentlemen!

Newcastle Brown Ale refreshed us while we were out "walking the dog"--note professional-level product placement in the photos, beer promoters!--and the people at Bourbon Bar fulfilled every heart's desire (largely, for bourbon cocktails, crab dip, and pulled pork nachos). If you missed it, don't despair. BlogsGiving will return next year...possibly north of the Cut. 

Our annual social hour and fundraiser for Northwest Harvest is tonight, November 15! Visit our Facebook invitation page for more details and to RSVP.

Join the writers and readers of such blogs as Rainier Valley Post, SouthendSeattle, CD News, Capitol Hill Seattle, and Seattlest for some fun with YouTube, a beer tasting courtesy of Newcastle Brown Ale*, and a limited supply of complimentary pizza from Tutta Bella.

This year we're going to be meeting up in Columbia City, at the Bourbon Bar (4916 Rainier Ave. S.) from 6 to 9 p.m.

If pizza and beer isn't enough, know that the Bourbon Bar also has a new bar menu of small plates and, you guessed it, a wonderful selection of bourbon.

We're also hooking the bar's TV up to the internets for the evening, so help us build a YouTube playlist by posting your favorite(s) in the comments.

All of this for just a $5 suggested donation at the door, or two cans of food. See you there!

*Please enjoy the one and only Newcastle Brown Ale responsibly.

Last night a hardy band of bloggers braved wind and rain to gather for Blogsgiving, a fundraiser for NW Harvest and a chance for everyone to meet in real life. Sponsored by the Neighborlogs empire (including CHS and CDNews), Seattle Metblogs, Seattlest, and The SunBreak, the party raised $447 in cash, and packed up a big box of food.

The mulled wine flowed like...wine, and the Central Cinema pizza vanished astonishingly quickly. You want celebrity guests? How about Joel Connelly, ladies and gentlemen! Mónica Guzmán! Dominic Holden! Clark Humphrey! nerd's eye view! The list goes on. B-Town Blog! We even had an Office Nomads blogger show up. I know I'm leaving people out. It was a cavalcade of stars, and, as I say, a cavalcade of mulled wine, so things get a bit hazy for me about mid-way.

Thanks to everyone who helped set it up, especially our host Central Cinema, and everyone who came by to socialize. We'll see you next year!
