mediabistro to flacks: no

For the mediabistro.com party tonight at Santo Coyote on Melrose, the invitations carry a stern proviso:

Sorry, no PR/Marketing folks or interns/students. Attendance is limited. ALL guests must be pre-approved.

mediabistro, by the way, is touting seminars in L.A. on food writing with Bon Appetit managing editor Laurie Buckle and finishing a novel in 12 weeks, with Rachel Resnick.
