[Photos by Kirill] Many internet entrepreneurs seem to be introverted and dorky, at least when it comes to their partying skills. We assumed Thrillist founder Ben Lerer was no exception. However, there wasn't a timid techie in sight at his 4th of July BBQ bash this past Saturday, and these photos speak for themselves, do they not? Maybe Lerer isn't the dorkster we all thought he was? Or maybe his friends, including DJ Tanner, Ryan Harwood, Emily Rotter, Perry Rahbar, David Rodolitz, Ryan Alovis, Eric Sobotka, Mike Hamilton, and Mike Hesekiel, who all helped host the affair, keep Ben up to speed? The party, at their house in Watermill, is a convenient 2 min cab ride from Pink Elephant nightclub...
More story and photos below...
...though this crowd (in full daylight) was unarguably a better looking bunch than your typical club goer. Plus, they had an open bar with drinks served on floaties, and champagne sprayed outdoors amongst bikini clad modely types. I guess it's fair to say that Ben Lerer actually has it in him to throw a good party....who knew?
Who invited him?

Plovgh, the new online farmers market
Who knew that the farming world had a trend? Well, Mallory Sustick, a Brooklyn bartender, works like a dog to maintain, promote and advance the online farmer's market startup Plovgh that began after noticing a need for more local farm market distribution.

Ha Ha - Beer Ping Pong, seriously? Of all the parties this past weekend, I'm surprised you decided to go to this one. Nice Braskie. Oh, and Water Mill is NOT a 2 min ride to PE; perhaps, unless you are drunk. Which by the likes, that may have just been the case :)

Looking at these pictures, Ben Lerer is not dorky - he seems to be professionally goodlooking and one hell of a drinker.
