Arts Re: Who’s That Woman?

onI just got off the phone with “that woman” and here’s her side of the story.
“I went to the Genius Awards and it was pretty great for a while, but by the end my self-esteem had been strangely crushed. I blame this guy:”
Her blow-by-blow of her Savage interaction:
• She was waiting patiently in line for a drink.
• Someone apparently closely associated with Dan and wearing a “really tight t-shirt” cut in line.
• She was playfully all, “Hey man, no cutsies!”
• Savage walked up to talk to the person from point #2.
• She looked at him because he’s “just so darned cute and famous.”
• He perceived a stink-eye and made a HUGE dramatic scene about it, despite her protestations that it was just her regular eye.
• She BOUGHT HIM A DRINK.
• Later, she BOUGHT HIM ANOTHER DRINK.
• He glared at her all night like she had killed his poodle.
• She has since lost her once-reknowned ability to wake up early.
Her summary: “He’s full of shit.”
She vows revenge.

Catfight! Catfight! Catfight!
Holy shit! Note to Dan: lay off the pot when attending Stranger events.
Wow, Dan is a dick in person, too! Who knew!
Hah! Way to get the scoop Hecht!
This calls for a dance-off in Westlake Plaza!
The hell with a dance-off, I want to see a walk-off, zoolander-style!
Wait. It wasn't an open bar?
Having two drinks bought for you by someone that you cut in line is not a bad deal.
#7 - if by open you mean free - unknown in this city
they pay their expenses by selling watered down expensive drinks
one time - free drinks - at a fundraiser - where the tk. was 200.00
you learn to bring a joint and a pint
So Savage's friend is the one who cut in line and she still bought him two drinks and he STILL felt the need to complain about her on Slog the next day.
What a dick.
Who you gonna trust? This stink-eye line cutter and friend of Anthony Hecht's? Or ME?!?!?!?!
Once again, The Slog is first to break this important story. Kicking P-I and Times ass from noon to night.
I'm on Dan's side, but only because it's the wrong side, which is arguably awesome.
Now I'm really pissed.
I could be working now, yet I'm shamefully wasting too much brain power on this.
Maybe it's my early exposure to telenovelas, but I've got a sneaky suspicion that this woman is not merely some stranger who insulted Dan's dignity, nor is she some virtuous maiden who was assaulted by a cruel, wanton Savage.
Rather, I think she is Dan's son, who has time traveled back from the future to accustom his father to the fact that he is in fact a woman. Or a robot. I'm not sure which yet, but I'm sure we'll know by next season. :)
I'm thinking he was full of drinks.
perhaps Dan's straight laced family did not teach him to hold his liquor well, very important in my family, drunk was a social fault
too stoned was also a social fault, my family are open pot smokers, good stuff, home, hyro ponic hybrids, so no excuses for social assholishness
Dan, I have a question, that's been eating away at me since Friday night. Where did you get that sweater? Seriously, it's an awesome sweater.
This is all odd, because the first time I met Savage was when he cut in line in front of me for a drink. True story. I don't think he realized I was standing there waiting for the bartender, so I didn't really mind. Then we chatted casually for a moment as the fine bartender made him his drink. Then he broke something, and I went to Linda's.
The end.
What the hell has happened to the blogging venue? It started out as a place where average people - closed out of professional circles could speak to events and maybe be heard in public forums.
Instead between Soundpolitics and The Slog it's becoming a hunting ground for blog-owners to bully the small fry. Give us a break will you. Our bosses, parents and instructors already fulfill the humiliation role.
Or, is this supposed to be 'funny'? If so, I must be suffering from an 'irony deficiency' - because going after ordinary people on a big ass blog like the Slog makes me cringe.
Blanchard needs a sense of humor and a Violin to be smashed over his head.
I can't decide if you guys are a "drinking paper" or a "fucking paper". Is it possible to be both?
Hey, we all get a little touchy after a two hour open bar where we've had multiple IRISH WHISKEYS. That's surely a 3 day bitterness recovery. Gawd get over it. Or I hope you're kidding.
the first time i met dan savage it was at the 1993 beaux arts ball at COCA when it was next to the Lusty Lady.
he was in drag & tried to induce a straight boy freak out out by pulling me onto his lap in the men's room & rubbing my thighs & chest while telling me how cute i was (what is it with The Gays and the bathroom?). i disappointed him by not freaking out, as i've been around The Gays since i was in 5th grade.
then he had a bitchy exchange with the future mrs. solomon over the size of her diamond ring. she hasn't forgiven him to this day.
that was 14 years ago.
So where's the post from Josh about how the Times COMPLETELY ignored this important story, or got it wrong, or just failed to credit the Stranger...and Josh's promise to confront Jan Drago who has LET HIM DOWN!
And where's Erica's sidebar on how many offended her by arriving in single-occupancy vehicles when she proved her virtue on the bus???
When I was young and foolish I was young and foolish.
Please tell me this whole thing is a joke. Please?
You mean you aren't any more?
THIS JUST IN...STRANGER EMPLOYEES ARE STUCK-UP ASSHOLES!
Send her flowers Dan, it only seems fair.
It sounds like you were being a BUTT HEAD!
I loved your first post about this but the jury is still out and I'm a leanin towards the ladies version now!
Her final assessment is probably the most accurate thing I've ever read on Slog, and that includes Charles' Star Wars postings.
I agree with MJ. You should make it up to her. I think a carrot cake and a bottle of tequila might do the trick. Be nice Dan, just be nice!
we need witnesses. although frankly, the idea of complaining about cutting and getting a bad look is immature. whats the BFD? banning someone from events for this? also immature is the idea of buying two drinks as a way to suck up to someone. your poor little self esteem. both versions are a bit too overwrought. chill out folks, there are far worse things to deal with in this world.
Being a Butt Head is the one thing I like about you Dan.
I do like your sense of humor!
Boiling Pitt Bulls alive and taking vengeance out on a lady who cut in line is all quite comical and fun!
HAVE FUN... But do send her flowers.
I can't be bothered to figure out what this is all about. I'm just here to say that I'm on Dan's side, forever, even if he's wrong (EVEN if he's agreeing with Republicans about disastrous foreign policy decisions!) because he said "fuckstick" in that other post. And because of the whole genius Santorum thing. Basically, for improving the English language immeasurably on numerous occasions.
So you douchebags leave him alone! >:-p
