Nick & Nick

Nick Denton was in San Francisco last night hosting a launch party at Varnish Fine Art for Valleywag, his lastest addition to the Gawker empire (which includes popular blogs like Wonkette, Gizmodo and Fleshbot). Valleywag, a tech gossip blog covering the San Francisco Bay Area, just went live this morning, is being run by Nick Douglas (who previously wrote for the blog news/gossip website Blogebrity). Here are a few photos that I shot at the launch party.

For more on what Valleywag is all about, check out their FAQ.

Valleywag is a tech gossip rag. You people in Silicon Valley are far too busy changing the world to care about sex, greed and hypocrisy. But if you ever need a break, come visit us at Valleywag.

UPDATE 1: Jackson West’s photos are now online.

UPDATE 2: More launch party coverage from Valleywag, Blogebrity, Violet Blue (tiny nibbles) and Sexerati.

Ooo, salaciously wonderful! I’ve always marveled that for the density and prolific nature of The Valley, there was no blog/source for locally-focused, Valley-related techy newsy rompy sorts of things. Looks like Gawker has pulled through – it’s going straight to my reader! Thanks, Scott.

Is Denton gay? Just curious. And he looks emaciated.

John, that’s because he subsists on party snacks and the souls of young bloggers.
