After sitting on the piece for weeks, and after the copy editors drained all the life out of it, and after the caption editor inserted an error by calling it a "new blog," the New York Times' City section finally ran a piece I wrote about the year anniversary party of Living With Legends. Polis readers know I attended the party at the Chelsea Hotel more than a month ago hosted by Debbie Martin and Ed Hamilton, creators of the blog, in an apartment once occupied by Thomas Wolfe. It was a wonderful evening full of rich characters and stories ... which sadly, doesn't quite get conveyed in the piece. I'm probably being a little overly dramatic, so read it for yourself. And watch a slide show here.
