Don’t Let it End This Way-ay-ay

Well I’m a day late posting about B’s Beantown Bash, and it’s already well documented by most everyone else that was there, so there’s not much I can add. It was a blast, at least the parts I can remember. And according to Kate it sounds like the parts I don’t much remember were pretty awesome as well : )
It was great to meet Mack, Ginger, Shauna, Chris, and Ivy and great to see Aunt B, Jag, Hutch, Michael, and Kat again. And I’m really sorry I didn’t get a chance to meet John Lamb, or to talk to Mary Mancini again (she might remember me as the guy who gave the pro-3rd party speech at her 2004 event at the Belcourt). Oh, and I really meant to have a conversation with Brittney about how my maternal family name is ‘Gilbert’, and so I’ve wondered if we might be distant cousins or something. Very very very distant cousins of course, I mean otherwise my crush on her would be totally creepy, and we can’t have that : )
Anyway, I didn’t even have time to nurse my hangover before heading out for Sunday in Smyrna at the lake with Mike and Cory and a few of their friends. Did some lake-swimming and some football-throwing — possibly the first time since the 80s on both counts. And drank much more beer. Oddly enough I feel fine today…
The prequel to the weekend was a play Friday night called Bad Dates at the Darkhorse. It was cute, light fare. In the end she realizes that she actually likes the weird but sorta cute Buddhist that she had initially rejected, so I can’t argue with that : )
On sort-of related subjects, I think I’m going to try and get out the Belcourt for Into Great Silence today. Repenting for the weekend’s indulgences and all that.

It was really nice to meet you. I wanted to chat with you a bit, but we were always on opposite sides of the room. (Although I guess later we were on opposite sides of the table, but I was half asleep.) Anyway, it was fun.

It was great getting to meet you. Like Shauna, it seems we were always on opposite sides of the room so we didn’t get much time to talk, maybe next time. :)

“But if you’ll give us a chance to remember / the love we had once together / wait and see / time is all that we really need / I’m praying you won’t say no / I need to tell you / Don’t let it end…”
Ahem. I’ll stop now. (And I’ll start singing THIS instead: “This is the song that doesn’t end / Yes it goes on and on my friend…”)

How did you manage to avoid all the photogs at the event?
Also, I noted this to Chris Wage, but apparently, one needs to have funky, cool glasses to be a cool blogger chick. I’m so uncool!

Ha, yeah I thought that was funny, I seem to have eluded nearly all photographic evidence. I’m guess I’m sly like that…
I suppose we could get you a pair of funky, cool glasses. Though I think you should be proud to be different. But maybe if I get a pair then I’ll be photo-worthy :)
Oh! Wait! My shoulder makes an appearance! : )
