Funeral services for blogger Keith Alexander

Xeni Jardin 10:49 am Wed Jul 13, 2005

I didn't know Keith very well other than a few e-mails here and there. He helped me get the NYC metblog off the ground, though, and was one of the original authors. He stepped down end of the year because he was too busy to post, but his girlfriend Melissa Medina still writes for the site. She just told me that services will be held on Thursday at Scarpaci Funeral Home, 1401 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11228. 718-331-8000.
