Venus was there sipping from a pint glass of delicious-looking ice water. Venus wasn't talking to reporters--a member of her staff assailed me and said "Venus isn't talking to anyone," settling the matter before I could even bring it up--and so that left me to find the bathroom.

Oh, and yes, Venus royally screwed up.

Here is a toast to you VV!

And realizes one drink is probably too much with dinner.
