Every year around Christmas, companies throw holiday parties they clearly don't want to throw. Employees of these companies go to the parties looking to get wasted and hook up with a co-worker. The clash of breathless expectations and corporate penuriousness is like a crashing wave upon a rocky cliff, except instead of salt water the wave is fashioned out of a year's worth of accumulated workplace bile.

Today's shitty corporate christmas party comes to us from the Fillmore East, the concert venue that used to be Irving Plaza. It is pretty shitty.

It's that time of year again!! This year we will be having a combined celebration for the staff of Fillmore NY at Irving Plaza and Blender Theater at Gramercy. Here's the important info:

When: Friday, December 7, 2007 from 8PM-11PM

Where: Downstairs lounge at Gramercy (127 E. 23rd just in case you didn't know...)

What: Karaoke!! And other good times...

Drinks: BYOB- sorry guys, this is a no-budget party, not to mention you people drank a warehouse worth last year... Seriously, please bring a bottle of your favorite booze or wine or a six pack o beer (or your fave Snapple drink if you don't drink alcohol.)

Snacks: Some will be provided BUT if you feel like baking (Jesse Bellin), we all love treats!!

After Party: TBD (but you know there will be one!!)

I think that about covers it! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Looking forward to having a cup 'o holiday cheer with all of you!!
