Booze & Blogs

I host several different sites on:

www.blogger.com

When I just logged in to post some new stuff, I found some alcohol related stuff I wouldn't have expected to find.

South by Southwest (a.k.a. SXSW) is an annual ginormous music festival in my favorite Texas city, Austin - the live music capital of the world!

There, on the dashboard of blogger, is a heads up about the blogger party at a famous club in Austin. Invitations are necessary, but you can get one of those just by having a blog with blogger and, well, probably knowing anyone who has a blog (which is basically every homo sapien on the terra ferma). And what do you find at a blogger party? Open bar!

There are lots of places that try to get customers liquored in order to obtain new business. Jewelery stores, wine bars, home shows-wherever people may be more prone to open their wallet, you may find free booze.

Thing is, blogger is free! What are they trying to accomplish by having an open bar? I dunno - other than maybe showing those in the blogosphere a good time.
