Ever crashed an Ed2010 event, ambushed a successful magazine editor and come this-close to ruining her motivational speech/book party? Well, that pretty much describes our Wednesday night. Except replace the words "successful magazine editor" with Bonnie Fuller, and "pretty much" with exactly.

It all started back on Monday, when Intern Joseph woke up from a four hour nap long enough to forward us something about an East Village happy hour shindig. "Come hear Bonnie Reveal her Seven Secrets To Magazine Success!" proclaimed the odd, semi-capitalized heading.

Naturally, we were intrigued.

Which explains why we spent our one free afternoon trekking down to Mo Pitkins (Avenue A between 2nd and 3rd) to find out all of Bonnie's tricks of the trade.

Unfortunately, since we forgot our tape recorder, digital camera and reporter's notepad (in typical Jossip event reporting fashion!) then consumed an entire pitcher of sangria, we're a bit fuzzy on all the details. (Something about living in Canada, moving to New York and stalking Jann Wenner, as we recall).
