So, in case you were living in a bubble or just came back from the moon,  it's a rough time no matter what career you are in.  As many may know, when the going gets tough all you need to do is PARTY! This is what people with jobs (er, ex jobs?) in the media did last night at the monthly Media Meshing organized by Gawker's video Guru Richard Blakely at Sweet and Vicious. We encountered lots of gossip and alcoholics of course.

More story and photos after the jump as well as some fun 'facts' from one of our favorite people:

Last Thursday, Citrine hosted the launch for the second issue of Gradient Magazine. The event was presented by Inocente Tequila and the hosts included Bettina Prentice, Kipton Cronkite, Anastasia Rogers, and the artist Andres Serrano, fresh off his new and much talked about exhibition.  At the heart of the celebration was the new Gradient Magazine, which celebrates innovations and innovators throughout the fashion, art, design, and music worlds. The publication is the brainchild of Matt Fried, Barris Vinogradov and Alan Vinogradov.

After we got one of Lavo's engraved glass slabs in August, we thought we had seen a new high-water mark for invitations.  Now, Gradient Magazine has done them one better.  For tomorrow's launch of Frequency 2 of the magazine, Matt Fried, Alan Vinogradov, and Barris Vinogradov sent out the invites pictured above.  Hand-made, no two alike, these little pieces of art were put together by the Gradient team with inspiration from artist Gary Wenc who, is featured in this issue's Gallarei along side Emmitt Shine, Matt Siren, and Lucien Dulfan.  We look forward to seeing what Gradient has put up their sleeve, as they host tomorrow night along with co-hosts Andres Serrano, Kipton Cronkite, Bettina Prentice, and Anastasia Rogers.

"Last Dance On The Deck Of The SS Radar"

Go HERE and HERE for more pictures from John Norwood and Max Flatow, and TAG YOURSELF in the galleries!

Last night saw the last gasp (or last middle finger) of Radar 3.0, as the recently-folded magazine bravely carried on with its previously planned Halloween party-turned media wake.  The mag's latest/last cover model, Shannen Doherty, joined Maer Roshan, Jeb Reed, Neel Shah and the rest of the Radar family as they raged against the dying of the light until the wee hours of the morning.   Old and new media showed up to pay their respects, many in Gawker's suggested costume of "recently laid-off writer/bloggers."
