So how are you celebrating the season finale of
Mad Men tonight? I'm doing it the same way I do it every single Sunday night at 10, with a
Mad Men party! Of course, my party consists of me and an alcoholic beverage, but still!
There are a lot of people who having parties tonight, including the cool ladies over at
Basket of Kisses, who are
throwing a bash at Phoenix Park in New York City.
Noir Bar at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA is having a season finale party, too, with retro drinks and snacks and even a lookalike contest with prizes.

(S02E07) "You're not like everyone else around here." - Ken, to Sal
So Don Draper used to be a car salesman?
I guess it fits with the career path of an advertising guy, and ties in nicely with the plot of Don getting a new car because he's moving up in the world of business in general and Sterling Cooper specifically. There's a big unresolved issue in this episode though. I'm really glad they brought it up but a little disappointed that they didn't follow through with it, though I'm sure we'll see more of the plot in later episodes this season.
It could actually change the entire direction of the show.
