mediabistro co-hosted its first ever gay media party at iCandy Bar and Lounge with the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association (NGLJA) and LPI Media. The bar was bustling throughout the event, with the 80 or so attendees—who work in print, TV, cable, and radio—fueled by hors d'oeuvres, amazing cocktails, and great conversation. Thanks to Out in Film and Television (OTF) for their assistance. And, yes, if you must know, we did have a gay old time.
