What a difference a day makes

Just think - yesterday at this time I was drafting a gushy drunk blog post about loving my friends....whereas today - I just got home and I'm totally sober. Victory is mine.

Tonight was pretty much a blast - though my ears are still ringing a little bit.

First of all - I had never previously been to the South Side - big mistake, the South Side looks like it could be a pretty good time - lots of restaurants & bars.....down side of course is that it's really far away. But whatever - it warrants further exploring. As Emily said - it feels very Manayunk - and as I said "without the greasy el-line".

Anyway - the venue for this party was actually pretty cool - old movie theater partially converted to allow for a stage and a bar - but I liked the feel of the place - though not a big fan of my feet sticking to the floor - but hey - give a little, take a little.

As per the bands - the first band sucked - but the lead singer was awesome - she was a cool quasi-punk chick, the second band rocked but the lead singer sucked - hello anyone else see a trade to be made?

The band that was launching the CD 'Adam Evil' started playing around midnight - and they were really fucking good - I really like the strings - there really isn't enough Cello & Violin in Rock! I'm actually feeling compelled to purchase their CD.

As per the people - it was a good group - of course my car had the best people - Me, Throck, Jen & Oliver - but Chris, Greg & Tom were there too - Laura met us at the door (wearing a stunning little black dress).

Emily & I were basically dressed alike - both in green sweaters and dark jeans.....but I had way cuter shoes. Oh yeah - and both Chris and Tom were doing the whole 'sportcoat' thing - which as a general matter I'm on the fence about - I will say though - I like Chris's jacket. But Tom, dressed like a young republican, actually had the gall to exclaim that "For a gay man [I] ha[d] the worst sense of style" - right - big fat fuck that!

Whatever - then we went to a party for Anne - it was her birthday - which was okay - there were lots of cool people, and a few not so cool people, and a really cool dog - but all in all it really wasn't my scene.

Happy Birthday Anne!

Oh yeah - so, I rock - I had a pretty fucking comprehensive evening - I had one light beer and NO cigarettes!! Yeah - I'm sexy, I know it.
