Everything You Need to Know
Introducing The Guest of a Guest Picture Directory, And More!
We have a new feature called the Directory: (guestofaguest.com/directory).
Over the past week, you may have noticed the new search box on the left sidebar of our site entitled “Party Pictures” (see photo one). It is our new people directory that we have been hard at work creating over the past month to allow an easy way to catalog and organize pictures of people at events. An alternative to browsing pictures solely by event. The directory is like a “who’s who” of our “guests”.
So how does one get included in the directory? Simple, be photographed by one of our photographers at an event we are covering. Its easy, unobtrusive, and lots of fun! Our directory will consist exclusively of gofg’s pictures rather than being an impersonal open-ended macro database.
Tag Yourself! If you get photographed by a gofg photographer and we miss your name in the gallery from the event you attended, make sure to go to that event’s gallery and TAG YOURSELF in the photo you’re in. Within hours you should be acknowledged and your personal profile page will be formed in the directory.
What else is new? We are now opening coverage of events to your own events. Whether this be a birthday party, engagement bash, anniversary party or whatever else you have cooking, you can simply, email events [at] guestofaguest.com to get one of our photographers there. You will get a gallery from your shindig which your guests can download.
It’s a sure fire way to get included in the directory (if so wished) by then tagging yourself from your event we covered.
We hope you enjoy these new features and hope to be meeting you at your events soon! Have a wonderful Columbus Day!

A Small World Wants Us To Enjoy Some Quiet Time
I haven’t been on A Small World in a long time, and got the itch to see what my Euro friends were doing this Sunday. This is what came up when I logged on. I took the suggestion to heart and spent the rest of the day drinking bloody mary’s with friends before moving on to wine at Kingswood where I sat gazing at Whitney Port and her new boy toy (Note: only 20% of my table knew who Whitney Port was which was refreshing, 90% of them knew about the Spandax Sundays party starting downstairs and around the corner at 11:00, also refreshing).
I will highlight ASW’s “New Features” below:
Nothing Can Come Between Jeffrey Epstein And His Moon Pies, Not Even Prison
Jeffrey Epstein has traded his pinstripe Armani suits for the city’s orange jumpsuits, but nobody can come in between him and his Moonpies. The Smoking Gun has gathered up the moguls receipts from the Palm Beach County Sherrif’s office:
“During his first three months in jail, the 55-year-old massage enthusiast has spent about $1250 on a wide variety of snacks (moon pies, BBQ chips, cheddar cheese squeezers) and skin care products (Lubriderm, hand lotion, and petroleum jelly).

In These Tough Economic Times, May We All Give PBR A Chance
[Barack Obama raises a glass of Pabst Blue Ribbon at the Raleigh Times Bar in Raleigh, NC Photo via Reuters]
First there was Eric Asimov’s piece titled “Modest Luxuries For Lean Times” [NYT] on September 23rd. Then came “Wines For Tough Times” [WSJ] on the 27th by Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher. Next there was famed wine critic Robert Parker calling for a boycott of restaurants that unfairly jack up their wine prices in the “Wine Spectator” (most restaurants mark up wine to an exorbitant 200 to 500 percent) on the 29th, which prompted NY Mag’s Grub Street to write a post titled “Good Wine In A Bad Economy.”
Well today, the market’s not looking to clean up it’s act anytime soon, and, although winos at heart we may be, might we suggest PBR as a reliable alternative during these tough times? Even Obama is advocating a CHANGE in our drinking style.

Warren Buffett Vs. Richard Fuld, A Lesson In Home Buying
[Billionaire Warren Buffett's house]
I have never been ashamed to admit where my roots are. Omaha may not have an Ivy within driving distance, and may be full of a lot of corn fields, but it ain’t made up of dummies. Above sits Warren Buffet’s modest house by Elmwood Park (a favorite area of mine). It is the quintessential home for the quintessential value investor. The quaint 6,000 sq foot gray stucco house was purchased in 1958 for a mere $31,500. Today Buffett is worth upwards of $50 Billion and recently purchased $5 Billion in Goldman Sachs stock. And yet he has never left his roots in Omaha, rather opting to stay far far away from Wall Street, much like a Hollywood mega star who shuns Tinsel Town.
Now, take a look at the difference in Buffet’s house versus Richard Fuld’s (CEO of Lehman). More »
Oktoberfest, Not Just A German Sausage Fest
Nebraska is made up of a large percentage of German descendants. Oktoberfests here are not taken lightly. I planned my trip home bearing this in mind. The door to get into the Crescent Moon ale house in Omaha this weekend is going to be almost as tough as making it passed Naeem at the Eldridge. This means that we will need to stake out our territory tomorrow well before 4pm. I am excited and anxious for the festivities to begin at the Moon, the bar that has a digital countdown to Oktoberfest hanging on the wall all year long. And, this being the 175th landmark of the festival in Munich, there is sure to be a decent amount of debauchery. For all of you stuck in NYC. Shecky’s has done a fine job of putting together a list of the best places to enjoy a good old sausage fest:
Loreley. 7 Rivington St. (Chrystie & Bowery) German immigrants helped shape the LES so it’s fitting that Loreley exists there. More fitting, during Oktoberfest they bring in seasonal brews for the beer conossiours. Also, it’s by Bowery, so you’re guaranteed the “cool” star.
Lederhosen. 39 Grove St (Bedford & Bleecker) “Go for the boot, which measures a full two liters and costs $22 to fill up—just keep a good grip, or risk paying the $40 “breakage fee.”
Cornelia Guest Chose Limelight Over High School
[Andy Warhol and Cornelia Guest at Limelight. 47 West 20th Street. Nov.9, 1983 via]
Cornelia Guest was too busy partying in the 80s to worry about finishing high school. This distant cousin of Winston Churchill was clearly rebelling against her pedigreed lifestyle. Want to know who else never finished high school?

Ludi The Goldfish Having A Tough Time Competing With Gossip Girls
It only takes around 5 hrs to get home, but it’s like stepping into another time period completely. I’m home for my nephew William’s 4th Birthday Party and couldn’t be happier for him and his newest friend “Ludi”. (Like “Louie” with a “D”). I’m sitting here staring out upon acres of land and sipping my coffee that only cost $1, trying to catch the NY “bug” and it just wasn’t happening. And then I saw this:
