Silicon Alley readers, don't feel left out when you read all the Valleywag To-Do posts full of Bay Area events. New York City's version of the Valley is holding real parties. Here's a leaked invite to a luau — go get leied, Silicon Alley!

I received this invite from Kevin Ryan (erstwhile DoubleClick honcho). It seems to be a mass invitation since I was bcc-ed.

My first thoughts:
— A luau? Sounds like they're partying like it's 1999.
— Will [Silicon Alley Reporter founder Jason] Calacanis claim a trademark on 'Silicon Alley' and O'Reilly Ryan? Or maybe he'll attend, coconut bra on the bulldog? I'm betting the former over the latter since he seems to have ceded NYC to [Gawker Media boss] Denton.
