okay... two things i need to recap from last night...
the second is the movie Chicago... i absolutely LOVED it... maybe it's because i never saw the musical... but it made me actually warm up to catherine zeta-jones... queen latifah -- mother of god the "girls" on her were more like "women"... and renée zellwegger was fantastic... i even liked richard gere... very funny. i love love love john c. reilly, though...
that said... chicago-go-go see it (note: i have turned into gene shalot)
the first thing that i need to yap about - sans photos [those are coming on monday] - is the big apple blogger bash 2003 a.k.a. the BABB
got there around 7:15 last night... the first people i met were Brian The (646) Guy (he hosted the shindig...), the redhead, and g.i. jane
(this is going to be a big post of name droppings and such... this means GO to all if these links and love them)
next up, i needed a beverage... the "looking-for-porn-in-all-the-wrong-places" paul katcher swooped in and picked up the tab on my guinness... and i was given a heartbreak gingersnap cookie baked exclusively by pitchaya....
the "friends don't let friends blog drunk" shirt worn by paulfrankenstein can be purchased at his site... but go there now to check out some photos... there's a lovely sunburnt jowly profile of me on it... (my entire face is swollen from the sun... and maybe a little fettucini alfredo)
along with the p.f. man, i met fellow jersey city-ite / ny party crasher ken goldstein, a swell egg who i didn't get to yap with all that much
rickey of blue red orange, in my opinion had the best card promoting his site of course, i only collected 3
i am now onto my 2nd beverage... the faces are becoming a blur - not because i am drinking, but because there are a lot of them, and there are a lot of blogs i haven't read i am realizing...
shared a wall with alex from brokentype
i see will from msnbc so i go over to thank him for his thorough recap of this week's west wing... so he and i and jason kottke started yapping about the west wing (do you like how i just casually name-dropped the elusive kottke? smooth, eh?)
mr. swill... wish him luck but don't jinx him.... great site, really nice guy...
the raving athiest aprés-falling off his stool... those will be up on monday (dammit! why isn't this program working anymore!!??)
right before leaving, i met erin aaron of godofthemachine.com and then i said my goodbyes...
had fun.... i left at around ten of 9 because the movie was at 10... i could have stayed there yapping and getting more and more drunk, but, i would rather have people read about how tipsy i can get instead of showing them firsthand
*** sorry to those of you who i met yet the name escapes me....
****update: i forgot allan - how the heck could i forget him???? ****
