This weekend was so fantastic. Joss Whedon's talk on Friday was surprisingly illuminating and interesting. Saturday we threw a party that I hope was as much for everyone else as it was for me... despite the ill-advised drunken beer run in impractical shoes. Ow. Spilling a 30 pack of PBR on the street is embarrassing.

So the Kindle is making it really too easy to purchase crap books. I just tore through a fluffy chick lit mystery book (Janet Evanovich's One for the Money) and already bought the sequel because it was there and it took like a minute to download it. And now I think I've been sucked into a series that is going to turn my brain into mush. I need to figure out how to get Project Gutenberg books onto the Kindle so I can balance the candy books with actual literature.

It was an excellent party!

[wildflowersoul.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad to hear that. I, um, have a significant of [scene missing] in my memory of the evening.

[tenillypo.livejournal.com]

Heh. I am shocked -- SHOCKED, I say! -- to hear that. ;)

[wildflowersoul.livejournal.com]

Oh lord. If I did anything embarrassing don't tell me! If I can't remember it, it can't have been too bad. =P

Wow, really? I didn't think you were that tipsy. There was no embarassing. You did hate on Maine a bit and I had to set you straight.

[tenillypo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not sure you were really the best judge of relative sobriety by the end there...

[incandes-flower.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not saying I was sober. I just remember the entire evening.

Your brain cells are grateful to you!

Heh. I'm glad I seemed to be relatively untipsy to someone! Yeah... I don't recall Maine hating. I do recall talking about boobs a lot. *head smack*

[incandes-flower.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have pictures to prove that. I almost put them on FB, but then decided that you may not want pics of your boobs displayed for the world to see.

Boob talk is A-Okay by me. :)

Grizzly Bear

trying to figure out who Grizzly Bear is, apparently one of the members is from Department of Eagles who are on 4AD. None of the Grizzly's are in Animal Collective.
and they opened for Radiohead on their last tour.

check them out though, they are on Warp Records.

No, you were fine. Squinty-eyed and swaying on your feet, but fine. ;D

hee - I guess it was the weekend for over-consumption. You'd think that after I lost my wallet & successfully retrieved it, I would call it quits on the alkie. At that point I didn't have cash, so I was like, oh I'll order a shot of tequila so I can give a tip for the wallet retrieval. I apparently then returned to the hotel room and packed everything in a stupor in like ten minutes before passing out. Fun times. Fun times. I'm not sure I really remember a portion of the evening's conversations because at one point the orange county republican wife was like "i like you guys so much we have to hang out again" at which point they gave us their phone number. I really can't imagine us maintaining a polite and amicable discussion with republicans for such a long period of time. I really am wondering what made them like us, but hey, at least I'm not trying to remember how I possed someone off. I do remember attempting to write my cell number down for them and had to try twice to get it semi-legible.
