Bay Blogger Special: Nicks Invade The City

Well, the cat's out of the bag about the new blog from Gawker Media. We've known for a while, but have been pretty good about keeping mum about it due to this SFist's work with Fleshbot. As PJ Corkery revealed Wednesday, it's going to be called Valleywag, and it's going to be helmed by the affable Nick Douglas, who's moving on from his post as editor at Blogebrity.

Last night Spot-On's Chris Nolan held a swanky fete at her Russian Hill apartment to introduce folks around. Lots of familiar faces were there -- Nick Denton and fellow Gawker Media minion Boi From Troy (pictured above), PJ, Mary Hodder, SFist Ted, Weatherman and his lovely wife Molly Go Lightly. Chris pulled out all the stops, with caterers serving tasty hors d'ouevres and pouring great Manhattans. Douglas, at right, just arrived from Pennsylvania -- keep an eye out for him at wifi cafes in the mish.

SFist would like to extend a hearty welcome to the kid, and hope Valleywag is a lovably snarky success.
