Last night in NYC

"In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.", Emile Zola (1840-1902)

Or, in modern online usage - "Pics, or it didn't happen!"

So, here are some of the pick from last night. First, we went to Seed offices, where we met everyone during the Happy Hour, including the Overlords, Erin and Arikia:

Then we walked over to Old Town Bar, where we soon were joined by my Scibling Jake Young, my old friend from SciFoo and the 1st Science Blogging Conference Jacqueline Floyd, my Twitter buddy Arvind Says, and the Overlords of the new Nature Network NYC Hub Barry Hudson and Caryn Shechtman and her boyfriend Nikola Trbovic with whom I could converse in Serbian language:

I am commanded by my Benevolent Overlords, and I answer.
Yesterday I inadvertently offended the Sb Overlords in an interesting way. Since I came on board 2½ years ago we've had a series of handlers or "community managers" who have all been competent, charming women. Punning a little, I have fondly called them my Ovarylords.
Our Seed Overlords have bling to give away. All you have to do is take a survey and they might give you an iPhone 3G, a MacBook Air and a 40GB Apple TV. Keep the Air and give me the rest if you win. Don't tell the Overlords though.
I'd better go home and put on my "Welcome Squid Overlords" t-shirt—someone has caught an octopus…in the Ohio River.

It was good fun Bora!!! Thanks for setting it up:)
