Defector's 5th Birthday Party Is On Sept. 10 In Brooklyn
Can you believe we started blogging almost 5 years ago? Come celebrate with us at Union Pool in Williamsburg. There'll be a taco truck, lots of baseball cards, and live music from friends-of-the-site Avery Friedman and Speedy Ortiz. Tickets are free, but please RSVP so the bar knows how to staff.
