Mashable is Pumping up the Events Side of Things -- Partying with Grand Master Flash Tomorrow in NYC

Mashable, one of the world's top 10 most influential blogs, is expanding its events business. Tomorrow in Manhattan, hundreds of Mashables will be partying at Webster Hall for a performance of Grand Master Flash. The tickets are just about sold out, we have learned.

If Mashable's party in San Francisco last month, which was called a "wild one" by Caroline McCarthy of CNET News.com is an indication, tomorrow's should be a blast.

Last week in Hollywood, I spoke with founder Pete Cashmore,22. He told me that Mashable is expanding both events and "mixers" -- sounds like a great way to build awareness and sell sponsorships. This is second of two interviews.

Pete will not be in attendance tomorrow night.
