pizza

28 Oct 2005

Had a good time at the pizzafest last night. I didn’t actually have any pizza (a girl’s gotta watch her figure), but I enjoy a couple-2-3 martinis and good conversation.

One thing that cracks me up at these blogger get-togethers is when the folks from the Scene show up. They are total rockstars in that crowd. You can always see the “omg bruce barry/liz garrigan/etc should I introduce myself?!” angst in the sideways glances over the top of every glass in the room. They hunt in a pack, too – always arriving and leaving together. Presumably to go to a cooler, exclusive afterparty (okay maybe not).

At some point, Amanda told smantix that he was crazy. Sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade, I guess.

Good times.

I missed it last night, unfortunately. But if it makes you feel any better, I wouldn’t know anyone from the Scene if they bit me in the ass. On the other hand, if Scotts Walker or Hartnett walked through the door, that’d be a different story. I would BEG them to bite me there. We all have our hometown heros.

Jag, If Roger Abramson had shown up, he would have bitten you in the ass.

And for pure Jerry Springerian enjoyment, Amanda calling out Smantix was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. Every blogger party needs a good dust-up.

I just realized that I wrote Hartnett and not Hartnell. I’m such a good fan.

A bite in the ass is a bite in the ass no matter which way you slice it. I’ll take it.

couple-2-3 martinis

So, is that 4 or 6?

“couple-2-3” .. well, there’s no specific number associated with it – just, you know, a sufficient representation of enough alcohol consumed that you weren’t really keeping track. I think maybe it’s a midwestern thing. I was abusing the expression, though. Proper usage:

“We went to da packers game and had a couple 2-3 beers and when I woke up I says oh geez I’m late for work, eh”

Translation: “I drank a 24 pack of Schlitz and woke up in jail. This is a cry for help.”
