First of all, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’re all a little Irish today, so have some Guinness, or some Jameson, and toast to health, wealth, friends, and family.
Second, I went to a Crablogs meet-up last night, and it was great fun. Thanks to Fool for organizing everything, I think she did a great job. Also, thanks to everyone I met who promised to keep my identity secret. I’m also sure that I’m not how anyone pictured me. Or maybe I am. Whatever. Anyone who reveals my secret identity- I shall kill you.
Getting to put faces to blogs with Tuesday’s Coming, Virginia is for Lovers, Live in Love, Lost in Place, calculatoronfire, eebmore, Baltimore Roll, sweetney, a Doggy’s Life, Jason Dove, and malnurtured snay was interesting, to say the least. If I forgot anyone, I apologize. calculatoronfire quickly learned that when it comes to me remembering names, or even when I’ve been introduced to people, I’m a complete douchebag. Any of you who may have seen me scribbling your name on the back of a business card, you know what I’m talking about. I’m really horrible about being able to remember that stuff, so I’m sorry.
It was a little weird to bump into my downstairs neighbors (who have sex with the vocal stylings of porn stars) who were meeting my ex-girlfriend and her twin sister for their birthday. Even weirder was that my ex knew I was engaged because her friend’s sister lives with my friends fiance. 6 degrees of Baltimore. It’s a small town.
Kmart and I did a terrible job of getting something to eat, and by the time we left we were fairly tipsy. Some might say drunk. Others would say that what some might say is probably correct. We were, if fact, drunk enough that we walked out without paying our tab.
I have never done that before, even when I’ve been Stumbly McSlursalot. Luckily we were able to get in touch with Fool, and she covered our tab for us. She’s a saint people. A damn saint.
Went to sleep around 11:30 or so, and this morning I didn’t feel too bad. Actually, I was kind of excited. It’s St. Patty’s Day, and Kmart and I were meeting Jason J. Thomas at Sean Bolan’s to have a pint before I ran off to work and Kmart ran off to class.
After my pint, Kmart was staying for another round. Good luck to him, and good luck to all of you, on this bacchanalian celebration. You can find us at kickball tonight in Patterson Park, and we’ll be at J. Patrick’s afterward. We’ll also be planning the April meet-up, so look for info from us soon.
Slainte.
