Hey, everybody! And a special HEY to all loyal readers of SFist: We're having a party next Thursday. Yes, SFist is now 10 years old, and we'd love for you to come get drunk with us to celebrate that remarkable fact.

SFist was founded in 2004, with the help of current Senior Editor/Emerita Eve Batey, as a scrappy offshoot of then growing and popular New York City blog Gothamist. Several hundred best-of lists and several bottomed-out tech shuttle incidents later, we're still typing, and we'd love for you — and our loyal commenter crew — to come to Blackbird next Thursday, November 20 to say hi and clink glasses with us.

You'll get to meet our current staff — Editor-in-Chief Jay Barmann, Ms. Batey herself, and newly minted Assistant Editor Caleb Pershan — and who knows who else! Also, there will be some free drink tickets, some $5 carbonated drinks on tap (the Pimm's Cup is especially good), and you can grab a hot dog from Let's Be Frank when you get peckish.

There will also be some tequila tastings, and much, much more (including free SFist-branded beer koozies and tote bags... imagine how jealous your friends will be).

Just RSVP here to make sure we can get you in the door.

Update: So, those spots went quick! Due to the capacity of the bar, tickets for this event had to be limited and it's now sold out. But we promise we'll throw another party at some point.

And again, the details:
