Interns, rejoice! Party to be held in your honor
» More Media
All the unpaid gophers running around Madison and Park finally have a reason to celebrate – and it’s not because your superior (and his coworkers who have suddenly become your superiors, too) didn’t order you to pick up his dry cleaning and vitamins this week.
Mediabistro.com throwing a bash in your honor on Tuesday at Pioneer, hoping your can mingle your way into a fall internship that doesn’t require lowered self-esteem each morning. (Mediabistro’s regular parties ban all social-climbing students and interns.) Get those fake IDs ready as it’s a 21+ event, which means only the college graduates “exploring their options” on daddy’s platinum and family friends are eligible. The rest of you will have to stick to cocktails in the bathroom, courtesy of the always-incoming cases of free liquor addressed to the editor in chief.
And should you be looking for actual guidance, MB also has an intern panel on August 19. For a mere $20, you can listen to a real life editorial assistant from a real life book publisher talk about turning your summer suckfest into a lifetime of being pissed and shit on by former-colleagues-cum-execs. But it sure beats paying to listen to bloggers.
