Biz 2 pretends Mike Arrington is fun

"Michael Arrington is a partying kind of guy," says Business 2.0 in their feature on the TechCrunch magnate and the other nouveau riche of blogging, as they describe the buildup to the crazy night of last weekend's TechCrunch7 party.

Behold this party animal, shot in the wild by Laughing Squid's Scott Beale:

Wooooo! That's one ca-raaaazy guy! I hear, later that night, he took his jacket off!

Really, we have nothing but respect for Arrington's ability to hold a schmoozefest, but let's not pretend this or previous Arrington parties were anything more than pale guys pretending to like each other and hitting on the five cute girls in attendance.

There's nothing wrong with that kind of party, even if it was so boring that we couldn't bear to run our usual photologue. But it's wrong of Business 2.0 to lure fun-seekers to spots like August Capital, when they'd be much happier throwing down (twice) with a blogger like Om Malik in San Fran.
