After attending The Black Table party this past Friday night, and spending time with the lovely ladies who blog, among others, I realized that blogging is one of the two doors that have most impacted my social life over the last year (the other being hanging out at Otto). Through my blog, I have corresponded with and met incredibly smart, diverse, interesting people, who all have expertise in areas in which I have none (Brazilian culture, lesbian erotica, panties (well, I have some expertise in panties, although I tend not to use the word so often)), which makes for scintillating conversation. And although I have not yet met any dating prospects through blogging, it sure beats online dating. I'd rather spend an evening having pizza at 2 AM with a group of cool women chatting about The Straight Sign and food, than on a shitty online date with someone who, although he may seem charming and smart via email, is entirely lacking in wit and/or social skills in real life. Bloggers also seem to enjoy getting together offline a great deal -- makes for good blog fodder, at the very least. So -- a shout-out to The Brazilian Muse, LustyLady, GirlyNYC, Nichelle, and Lux, and thanks to Colin, a co-worker who joined me at the party on blind faith -- I told him there would be cool, smart women there (in addition to me, of course) and there certainly were!
