A City Paper contributor for four years, Jonathan Sanchez will cover at least 12 parties of the 2008 festival season. He plans to eat many different types of cheese. There will be action shots of glamorous people holding cups of wine, and there will be the boldest-faced names you ever saw. Jonathan lives in Wagener Terriace with his wife Lauren and daughter Evelyn. He owns Blue Bicycle Books on King Street, and his website is beingsanchez.com.

Party for The Book of Longing, 178 Ashley Ave, Wycliffe House, Jeff and Wendy Gleim, hosts.
To cover parties you have to be strapped:
1. Tiny notepad.
2. Digital recorder, for quick observational asides: “Scott and Zelda passed out in the corner at 1 a.m., sleeping like innocent children.” “Don’t forget to get eggs on the way [...]
Georgia Peaches
June 8, 2007 – 1:45 pm
Thursday, June 7, 10:15 pm. 40 Society Street. Party for Swan Lake.
Marni Rothschild and fiancé Marcus Durlach’s singular singlehouse was already at full roar when the dancers came in.
With big coal-dark eyes and lean bodies, they headed straight for the silver cups of pomme frites, the deep-fat fryers sizzling like applause.
As the [...]

Saturday, June 2. 10:30 p.m. 80 East Bay Street (wharf-side), party for The Island of Merlin, or The World Reversed. Hosted by Charlotte Sloan.
Rough night. Or at least it started out that way. I was on my phone, passing Great Wall Express (Romney and King), when I left this voicemail message:
“Yeah, the party is right [...]

An Open Letter to Joe Sanchez:
Hey little Brother, I’ll keep this brief. I know you are doing well in Atlanta. Only 27 and you own a house, do Olympic-distance triathlons, and are a big-shot engineer who goes to Leipzig a couple times a year, zooming down the autobahn in the company Audi. That being said…MOVE TO CHARLESTON. NOW. LIVE [...]

Thursday, May 31, Party for Shen Wei Dance Arts and Major Bang. Home of Susan Bass and Tom Bradford, undisclosed location in the French Quarter
Serious cyclists, Bradford and Bass know about replenishment. The healthy spread last night included rice salad, rotisserie chicken confit, grape tomatoes, gourmet slaw, roasted almonds. A table was set aside exclusively for [...]
A Heaven of Hell
May 28, 2007 – 1:06 pm
You entered the after-party for Faustus, the Last Night through a field of candles in red glasses, a descent into a lively inferno.
The sound of Prosecco popping and French being spoken, and then a cake for composer Pascal Dusapin, one of the better-sung renditions of “Happy Birthday” you’ll ever hear. Hosted by Lee [...]
Bedon’s Alley Block Party: “The Rich Man’s Hotel”
May 26, 2007 – 11:36 am
Leave the pedicab-clogged, Wet Willies-centered bedlam of lower East Bay Street for the silent enclave of South of Broad.
Walk down Tradd, the click of heels echoing off the old stucco, and go through a red gate with red streamers, into a humming party, 200-plus folks in the cozy street. Servers passed martini glasses [...]
Morning Mimosas — 10:30 am
May 25, 2007 – 3:02 pm
If you’ve ever attended a Spoleto opening ceremonies, you might wonder how the luminaries up front never seem to mind the marathon speeches by the board directors and other arts management types, about the arts and their management.
I’ve found their secret – morning mimosas in Barbara and Duke Hagerty’s garden on Bedon’s Alley.

Le Cirque Vert
May 25, 2007 – 6:59 am
Lauren and I hit Circular Congregational Church last night, where the cheese was sharp and the conversation sharper, a couple dozen “progressives” (it means liberal) at a lovely if less-than-inventively-titled environmental art reception “Inconvenient Truth.”
