Jew Media: Cossack-Free Blogging

Reenactment of Dan "Mobius" and Heeb Mag's Rebecca at the Y by Ben Baruch of Shabot6000. I'm tempted to make the lame "All Night Long" reference but that's usually reserved for Tikkun Leil Shavuot.

The Jewish Media panel (recap with pictures) at the Y on Sunday, Aug 5 was by most measures a success. Full room and I got so drunk that I slept in ice cream. Proper feedback below.

Not Chosen: "Seeing as how the media and the Jewish beats were covered, I really couldn't pass it up. And I'm glad I didn't. That said, I've got to give credit where credit's due: Tahl Rahz of Jewcy and Daniel Sieradski of Jewschool impressed the hell out of me. The whole panel was great, but they were standouts."

Ben Baruch: "Self-professed Brooklyn hater, alcoholic and author of Generation S.L.U.T., Jewcy contributor Marty Beckerman finally meets his idol: me."

Phoebe: "At the end...someone from the Y [ed.- thank you, in advance, after the fact] announced that while the Cossacks weren't coming, the Y guards would be, since the event had run over its time. This--in reference to a mention earlier in the talk of how happily Cossack-free we are in contemporary America--was unfortunately one of the more clever pronouncements of the evening, most of which involved a discussion of whether blogs are the future of Jewish journalism."

Mobius: "it totally wasn't worth recording...i wish i'd gone to poupko's wedding instead."

Dude, you're just sore that someone on the panel (ok, Tahl) broke the news that you'd be quitting Jewschool to work for the JTA. And in case you thought I was teasing as I suggested, let me clarify: you ARE a sell-out. Now what were you saying about the "GREEN Line" and "Six-Figure War"?
