BGR's 8th Anniversary Event was a blast!

Thank you. After all the fun we had Thursday night, that’s all we can really say. We always love it when we get the opportunity to spend some time with readers, and there is no better way to celebrate eight years than a party with you guys. HTC was a fantastic event partner, and nearly one thousand people came to celebrate with us at Avenue in New York City over the course of the night. Of course, they all had a great time checking out HTC’s new Desire Eye smartphone and RE camera as well, and 25 lucky attendees even went home with brand new HTC phones that we gave away for free throughout the evening.

Below are just a few photos from the event, and if you were there and took some photos yourself, definitely share them with us on Twitter. And once again, on behalf of Jonathan, myself, Brad, Jacob, Chris, Jeff and all of our great contributors, thank you.
