Sounds like Some Party

Love it when the newspapers get fooled, probably by a blogger yet. From today’s Washington Post Styles section, courtesy of poynter.org, which is a great media insider site, if you like news about media…

Correction

A Feb. 5 Names & Faces item on an Evite to Michael Saylor’s birthday party was based on a copy of the invitation that had been partially forged before it was sent to The Post. The original Evite from MicroStrategy’s CEO said the party will be “exotic, mysterious and ebullient,” but it did not say “erotic.” It said “Think ‘Alias’ (the TV show), but sexier,” but did not include “much sexier,” as was reported. The original also specified “cocktail dresses,” but did not say “the shorter the better.” And, the original did not end with — or even contain — the words “no one leaves alone.” Nor was there anything in the original invitation unfit for a family newspaper. The birthday celebration involved dinner and dancing at the Ortanique restaurant for about 200 guests.
