Who’s That Woman?

posted by on September 17 at 9:56 AM

I thoroughly enjoyed this year’s Stranger Genius Awards party, even if I screwed up my bit. I was supposed to go up with Tim Keck and say that each genius gets a $5,000 check, a swank party in their honor, and a cheap sheet cake from QFC, but I botched it. I don’t remember what I said, but it wasn’t what I was supposed to say.

I blame this woman:

The photo’s a little blurry, I know, but she kept ducking and turning away when I tried to take her picture—probably because she was ashamed of herself. This woman cut in front of me in line for drinks. And then she had the nerve to turn around and give me the stink eye when someone else told her that there was a line—someone else, not me, someone else. She kept glaring at me for the rest of the night, like I had killed her cat or something.

Despite the best efforts of this awful, terrible, no good, really bad person, I enjoyed myself at the Genius Awards Party. But if you recognize this woman please send us her name. We want to make sure she’s 86’d from all future Stranger events and parties.

I guess I don't understand why you didn't just slap her in the face. That's totally appropriate, ya know.

a LITTLE blurry!?!

Probably more accurate to say a little in focus.

You should'a been all "I'm Dan-Muthafuckin'-Savage bitch! You in MY HOUSE!"

It was a great party, thanks for the invite!

I'll bet she's from out of town. In other cities, it's more common & acceptable for people to crowd around the bar to get a drink. In Seattle, you're more likely to see an orderly lineup. Not knocking "The Seattle Way," just sayin'.

Nice, you're more likely to find the identity of the guy behind her. Should have asked who she was, while at the party.
Closest you can get is a match on the dress. You can see enough of that.

Why the hell didn't you just ask her to leave that night? Talk about Seattle passive aggressive....

Maybe friz has a cover letter or resume from the bitch. That\'ll show her.

Oh, I was aggressive aggressive with her, have no doubt. I was up in her face the rest of the night, taking pictures and giving her the stink-eye.

But why have her removed? If we tossed every obnoxious drunk out of the party the entire Stranger staff would have been out on the street.

I'd recognize that blur anywhere. Her name is Dave Meinert. Ban for life!

You kept trying to take a picture of her, but you weren't willing to tell her that she cut in front of you (or that you weren't the one that told her so)? Maybe she was glaring at you because she thought it was weird that a random person was taking her picture.

So she cut you off in line, gave dirty looks, and you want to 86 her from all events? She sounds like a bitch and all but unless she does something a little more than that, it seems a little excessive, doesn't it? Your ego can't be that fragile, unless there's more to the story.

Looks like Jesse Quick (too obscure?)

Wasn't there a photographer for the event? Match the dress (as mentioned above) publish the picture and in no time we'll have that name.

People, I think Dan is kidding.

Wow, how dare she. But now you want to hold her up for public ridicule, bashing her on your slog - what's that say about you?

Yeah, Dan, unless you are joking around,
don't pull a Sharkansky!

Oh, no. I totally hate her. I'm going to ruin her. As soon as I figure out who she is, I'm going to start doing oppo research on her and drag her through the mud. So totally.

@16: Maybe too obscure... especially since she's not a speedster anymore.

Dude, just throw her out next time. Problem solved.

I don't believe she has a cat.

I had an experience like this this weekend, only I played the part of the woman (without the whole stink-eye the rest of the night thing).

I live in Chicago, and like @6 mentioned, in most bars nobody forms a line, it's just whoever can catch the eye of the bartender first wins. Well, a friend and I went up to the bar we were at this weekend and it looked like it was one of those situations (people standing up against the bar rather than a line). But, after about 3-4 minutes, a guy to our left says to the bartender "I just thought you should know, you have people lined up over here, but you have people over there trying to cut in line".

We had no clue there was a line (even after he pointed it out, it wasn't obvious). I was extremely irritated since he chose to be a passive-aggressive dick about it instead of just leaning over and saying, hey, sorry, I know it's hard to tell, but there's a line over here.

But, after I got my drink I forgot about it and had a good time. I assume he did too because I didn't notice anyone giving me the stink-eye and trying to take my picture the rest of the night.

crashing the line at a drunken large scale party - god, you folks are obsessive and
petty

and buried in negative space with bad karma

by the way, at most events women have some priority since all the horny straight males want some pussy by midnight - upstairs, bathroom, auto, under the bar - you know, a lot like gay men when drunken and in the mood

seems she was hitting on the fag, maybe she was angry about not scoring - scorned cunt can be a terror - you are not that bad looking Dan

move on - sounds like some of us missed a bash

and God, I hope there was some sex in some corner - not just all those smiley frat boy and so happy girl faces

I vote it was Joseline Mudede.

Posted by nipper | September 17, 2007 11:41 AM

Nipper, you're on to something... Joseline would cut in line and give Dan the stink eye without a second thought. The only thing that doesn't make sense is the hair. We all know Joseline would never waste her money on anything less than a "Master Weave" (TM). That rat's nest the mystery woman is sporting clearly belongs to a fishwife.

Hi Dan
It's me the frizzy hair bitch who gave you stink eye at the party. I wanted to let you know that I'm at home today waiting for speedy auto glass to come over and repair my windshied that got destroyed the nite of the genius awards. Do you want to tell me something else Dan? I'm so sorry that I have such powerful eyes that I could ruin your evening. Aren't you being just a little sensitive? I'm also glad that you told the story exactly how it happened. Although do you recall that I apologized and brought you over two drinks?
Maybe the truth is that I do have a huge crush on you and I was just admiring you. I hope that you can find it in your huge heart to forgive me. I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon. Maybe we can just hug it out.
Your fan always
Big Hair

There's no hugging in WAR!!!!

Yeah, this is why I got my drinks early and got up on the 5th floor where there was a view and room to move.

Also, great event last Friday, Dan. The presentation was inoffensively brisk and even enjoyable, the drinks were strong and the music was sharp. And of course, the Central Library was a terrific space for an event like this.
