An enormous thanks to everyone for making last night’s meetup the most EPIC party of Internet Week!

• We saw more than 200 attendees and 40+ Rock Band performances
• The Tumblr Dashboard Confessional got everyone screaming
• We fried an Xbox (that’s why we have spares!)
• Justin Johnson was our very courteous MC
  
• Marco and yours truly got to ham it up
• Some local stars performed
  
• We met lots of neat people
• …and maybe invited too many girls

If you couldn’t make it, we hope we get to meet you at the next one!

Check out some photos here.

And a very special thanks to Michelle DeForest (pictured) for organizing the event.

More URL niceness

• We’ve added an advanced option to give an individual post a custom URL.

• If you don’t want Tumblr automatically adding a summary to your permalink URLs, you can now disable the option “Use descriptive URLs” on your Customize page.

  (Disqus users:  Please do not adjust this setting just yet.)

• We’re also beginning to test an even nicer (!) URL format, inspired by the smart smart people at Vimeo.  We’re hoping to drop the “/post/” label, and simply link to “http://www.davidslog.com/1029”.  What do you think?   You can check it out on Marco’s tumblelog.
