Liveblog the World Cup for Deadspin: We have much to learn about the sport, its supporters, its stars and, sometimes, even its rules. We freely admit this. But still … come on. It’s the World Cup. We do not understand how such an event can possibly be overcovered. It’s the World Cup. It’s Togo, people …. Togo!

Eat The Weekend
| 07:21 PM
Memorial Day Weekend was many things, but perhaps most of all it was an unexpected food odyssey from Cape Cod to the East End. The rundown:
Thursday: Marshall arrives with
Friday: An unreal lobster roll from the Seafood Shanty near the Cape Cod bridge. (Moments later, we found ourselves behind Dens' mom's car, Big Red. Surely a sign. Of something.) Early dinner at—oh hell yes—Al Forno, still serving unduplicated perfection, night after night. Besides the grilled pizza (of course), the baked pasta (above) was perfection.
Saturday: (Crappy junk food around Providence.)
Sunday: Awake to the first burger of the season (above) Bonus: fresh arugula salad with lemon. Dinner offered the first Nina Salad of the season at World Pie.
Monday: Brunch at New Paradise Café in Sag Harbor. Dinner, back in Manhattan, dining alone and outside at Supper as the sun set. Great weekend.

The Summer Begins
| 12:40 PM
Spent last night at Shrum-a-Lot on Cape Cod with Josh, Marshall, MOP, and copious white wine. Good times. Tonight: 10-year Brown reunion.
This morning, Marshall is telling us about his new project: orienteering. "1st time -- didn't understand the rules and got disqualified. 2nd time -- not just last... quite far from first."

High comedy reaches new heights. (Also, Gawker blog comment record?)

Yesterday was Curbed's second birthday and we launched a new blog for the Hamptons: The Beach. Krucoff blogs the instant reax.

Well, that's one way to spin it. NYPost: Gary Sheffield returned from the DL and went 0-for-3 with two walks and scored a run. He took violent swings against Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth and didn't feel any discomfort with his left wrist. (That strikeout? Total sickness. As was Papelbon's entire ninth.)

Eliot Shepard: I’m researching a story on World Cup fans in NYC. I’m specifically looking for places where fans of “underdog” soccer countries will be gathering to watch their matches.

Mobile call from Mom: "I'm in the front row of the EMC Club!" Hotness. 7-1 Sox in the seventh.
| 09:51 AM
Until yesterday I enjoyed behaving this way, too.
| 09:45 AM
The crazy thing about this is that no one at Gawker had anything to do with it. (Bonus: horrifying font!)
| 09:37 AM
Lifehacker: I was incredibly honored in a pinch-me-is-this-real kind of way to receive a WIRED magazine Rave award this past Tuesday in San Francisco. Congrats, Gina!

Alison Lobron: My Little Black Book.
Gawker Blogger Drinks
| 09:33 AM
We hosted drinks for NYC bloggers (plus one Atlanta dude and one Boston chicka) Friday night at Gawker HQ. More pictures in my Flickr stream.

Megnut (officially) relaunches as a food blog. Very nice.

Final awesome Gawker blogger stunt o' the day: Jonno's latest Fleshbot contest earned the winner a (nonsexual, alas) walk-on in a Joanna Angel porn flick. The Daily News reports it out. Bonus context: the filmshoot took place—wait for it—on the Lower East Side.

What a pleasure to watch Deadspin quietly destroy ESPN from within. (Related: this genius stunt.)

Washington Post: What Press Pass? At E3, a Convergence of Card-Carrying Bloggers.
| 07:00 PM
Kotaku wrapped up its E3 coverage with a bunch more fantastic shortform videos. The one of the stampede to the Nintendo booth (set to what Joel informs me is the site's theme music—who knew?) has over 170,000 YouTube views, making it one of the most-watched vids of the week. It scored some NYPost love too.
Wet Weekend
| 06:50 PM
Wet weekend in Maine, though we missed the brunt of the rain that pounded areas south and west of us. (SPS certainly didn't escape.) More photos via the new Flickr badge at right. Photo credit for awesome shoreline pic of me above: Mom Steele.
The Way We Were
| 06:23 PM
Finishing some long overdue cleanup around these parts, stumbled upon the above Webalizer traffic stats for LS.com back in the halcyon days of 2002-2003. Note the uptick starting in December 2002 coinciding with Gawker's launch month. (In retrospect, this is hilarious too.) That grew all the way to 55,309 pageviews in September 2003--a totally nontrivial number.

I'm not a video game nut, but Kotaku's coverage live from the E3 show in LA this week has been excelsior so far. Tons of video of the keynotes, of course, but this video about the food is worth the price of admission alone.

Seen a block west of me on Rivington Street this morning, the denouement of the collapsed synagogue saga, creating a new suite of tenement views a la Thor's back dining room. (The top of the now-vanished synagogue appears in the graphical banner atop this site, under the words EAST SIDE.)
| 02:10 PM
Hmmm. Flavorpill is building out its web content.
| 02:01 PM
George, we've missed you. [He] stopped in his tracks and said, "What did you think of the game?'' Then, jabbing his finger at reporters to emphasize his point, he said, "What did you think?''

Speaking of 'holix, oh baby: Alexaholic.
| 03:11 PM
Soxaholix: Yankaholix! Isn't Beckett the perfect Red Sock? I mean he's a mirror of the fans: boorish, full of rage, and dumbly certain that one World Series win begets bragging rights.
| 03:06 PM
New digital camera has arrived. The above photo was taken by TdeM last week at WXOU Radio on Hudson Street moments after the Sox-Yanks game was called for rain, ruining our watching party. (N.B. first photo was of ES.) We're trying again tonight, Beckett v. Johnson. Ra.

Deadspin: "The event was vapid, pointless and ultimately a total failure; Scott was clearly the man for the job."

Kotaku at E3 madness! Here we go!!! Check out our sexy new page design (the latest site to join the Gawker Widescreen™ parade) here: Kotaku!

Gridskipper: Live in Dubai, all week long. You'd think it was the desert or something. But in less than 24 hours, I've already seen three Starbucks.
| 09:59 PM
Dined at lower Chelsea newcomer Crema Friday night; it's from the same people who do Mexicana Mama in the West and now Central Village. Very solid food—there's a cheese/sausage thing that's beyond decadent. Very gay crowd, natch.
| 09:55 PM
Village Voice: On Thrillist's editorial voice. Related Voice news: Curbed's year-long syndication deal with the Voice ended today; they've evolved their real estate section into a direct Craigslist competitor.
