The Committee & No. 8 Cafe Society Presents Conversations With Peter Davis

The Committee & No. 8 Cafe Society Presents Conversations With Peter Davis of SCENE Magazine
Go HERE for our post with SCENE Magazine! [Isabel Wilkinson, Peter Davis] [Peter Davis, Logan Samuelson] [Peter Davis] Where: No. 8 Cafe Society Who was there: Guests included Isabel Wilkinson, Peter Davis, Ben Schor, Andrew Freston, Arielle Patrick, Nell Diamond, Peter Feld, Logan Samuelson, Michael Colgan, David Jon Acosta, and Fan Zhong. Other details: Guests enjoyed sipping on drinks at the bar, while waiting for others to arrive. An hour into the event, Peter Davis started his conversation. He talked about the trouble he faced getting the magazine to where it is today. He reminisced on moments such as friends defriending him on Facebook, the difficulty in finding good society columnist writers (most just write about their friends or themselves). He ended his conversation with the advice to "be nice to everyone," because you never know who could end up being your boss. He even mentioned a horror story about an intern who was asleep under the conference room table, wearing sunglasses. Davis left about 20 minutes after his speech, wrapping up his conversation and questions from guests. [Photo: Isabel Wilkinson, Peter Davis via] Guest of a Guest ‏(@guestofaguest) tweeted:
