Last night, we held our book release party for God Save The Fan. (That's us and Deadspin soccer columnist and GSTF editor David Hirshey.) If the site was terrible, that's why. We're not gonna do a full field trip post on this, mainly because we're still too tired, but you can see a full set of photos from the party right here. Find your favorite pasty bloggers. And to everyone who came: Thank you. (Photos by Lawrence Lewitinn.)

Did Al Franken grow the mustache for his Senate race?
hey, two fellers i have actually met in person. although, the one on the right is a total Arsenal wanker.
Dude, dude
I can't believe Arsene Wenger's brother showed up for Will's book release.
Surrrrrrrre... that's why the site was terrible.
Bell's palsy?
And can someone teach Will how to properly knot a tie?
After the Jacobson pictures earlier, I feel kind of cheated that there were no photos of, say, Daulerio swigging from a bottle of whiskey stolen from the bar or something.
@The Fan's Attic: Yea, but until we see him headbutt Will for failing to follow through, then you know he's not that serious...
"Bangs and Stache" might make a good action movie title. A horrible movie but nice title.
Is that a clip on? Nice.
Saddam is an Arsenal fan?
Dammit, I knew I should've gone. Everyone looks like me!
Fearless Leader in a Tie?
Grab the kids Madge, Ima heading for the celler. The ends a comin.
(seriously though, someone buy him a clip-on)
Hirshey is about 30 years older than I thought.
I hate my space bar too.
@GlenAndersonLikesBoys: but, but, but...that's how I knot my ties...
I only see 2-3 photos of Ufford with women. Was he having a slow night?
That's a whole lotta white.

@sir_pantsalot: "Bangs and Stache" might make a good porn movie title.
Fixed
@Moonshine Mike: do mean failing to follow through with the "reach around"?
Ok, awkwardly squint for the camera in 3..2..1
@ArkansasFred: +1. I always feel like I'm playing some sort of word search game when I read Will's captions.
Me: "Do you want to go to some guy's book release tour that I have never met before in my life on Valentine's Day, honey?"
Her: -1 Sexual Intercourse
@SA: Forganess Preas! For once in my life I wasn't think like that. I must be getting old.
Sex or sandwhich? Depends on what kind of sandwhich.

Must. Not. Laugh.

Al Davis is at it again, attempting to retake the mantle of "sports' shittiest owner" from Jim Dolan.

Does this mean we ALL have to dress up if we attend one of the tour stops? Because I only have two looks: 'wedding', and 'funeral'. Please let us know which would be considered most appropriate.
I swear I saw Dana Jacobson swigging a bottle of vodka in the background of one shot.
Obligatory:
Glad to see Martin Lawrence made it.
Did everyone at the party blog about their drunken one-night stands?
Alexa likes the camera; the camera likes Alexa.
@katni: Hirschey's the blackest guy there
Picture:
Authors Will Leitch and Salman Rushdie yuk it up.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: Good god, how does one car kill four horses?
Are we sure this wasn't 30 years ago and not last night?

Also, this party was so white it could have been in Oregon.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: They really need to stop Groucho Marx from parking cars on the track
I thought Balk would melt if a photo was taken of him...
@j-no: 100% Rayon...
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: Andrew Jackson is still alive?
I assume my invitation got lost.
@Carlton_Whitfield: It's a superfecta!
Brother Lawrence, represent!
Who is the brunette with the dimple? Her I like...

You stay handsome, guys.
Just looked at the pics: this party was a whole new shade of white
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: Damn, that was good. +1, sir.
@sir_pantsalot: See, my mind automatically went there. And I'm not sure how I feel about that.
@The Fan's Attic: @GlenAndersonLikesBoys: Melvin Costa approves.
Howdy indeed...

I guess it takes photos like these to convince me that I am, in fact, kidding myself with this beard and moustache. Looks like I'll be ridding myself of both after the Super Bowl. -- GlassesGuy
Hookers to the left, drugs to the right
I guess God took a rain check.
@FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns: When was 16, I hit a horse doing about 55 mph in rural Ohio and it absolutely obliterated my car. I was 16 at the time and the state trooper that stopped had said "Damn shame horse had to go 'at way." I was trying not to laugh like you were trying not to laugh reading this story.
The only thing crazier than Book release parties are Middle School dance parties.
Bill Conlin can't believe they allowed so many pamphleteers to congregate.
