Deja Vu Is Sort Of Like Surrealism, Right?
By Ed Driscoll · November 16, 2005 09:29 AM · The New, New Journalism

The Philadelphia Inquirer's "Daily Bling Blog" doesn't seem to get that Jeff Goldstein isn't actually attending the launch festivities:

Starting today there's a new confederacy of bloggers.

Originally to be called Pajamas Media, appropriated from a swipe a CNN exec leveled at the riff raff who snipe from home in states of relative undress, it's now Open Source Media, as in an invitation for citizen contributors. It's planning a press conference and launch for later today. Headline-grabbing Judith Miller is to speak.

Protein Wisdom is liveblogging the press conference. A taste:

My cab pulled up outside the W a little before 9 PM New York time, and after checking in and dropping my suitcase on the bed, I immediately made my way to the hotel bar, where I found Tim Blair, Roger Simon, and Ed Driscoll bunched around a small table near the restrooms. Ed and Roger were nursing Gibsons, while Tim (who at 5’1” is much shorter than I thought he’d be) was drinking what looked to be IPA out of a pilsner glass inscribed with the legend, “Bloggers Do It In Their Pajamas."

Of course, this isn't the first time that Jeff's surrealism has spaced out the same folks that can't tell a Microsoft Word document from the output of a 1972 IBM Selectric.
