Gawker released a copy of an invitation to Bauer Publishing's holiday party, "Bauer on Broadway," last night. While the New Jersey-based magazine group may be one of just a few going ahead with celebrations, the event is strictly for employees only—unless, of course, those employees are willing to pony up the $175 fee to bring a guest.
Following the R.S.V.P. deadline of December 1, planners at Bauer will announce whether attendance will permit extra guests, and staffers interested in bringing a date will have the opportunity to pay the hefty price tag. The cost for the December 11 Broadway-themed covers food and drink at Weehawken's The Chart House and the chance to sing show tunes with a live band. And since advanced notice seems to be the theme of the celebration, song requests must also be submited 10 days beforehand.
