You should bring some balls, too. I'm not sensing you have those.

I don't live on Capitol Hill, James. I'll buy you a $2 well drink.

You can find me with the Original Will sticker on.

Love. Lots 'O love.

P.S. Mr. Poe is such a sex bomb. Original Monica is such a sex bomb.

Was that the Monica Guzman of the PI? God. I'm not saying she's hotter than Amy Kat Horn, but come on? Monica fucking Guzman? Hoooot.

My wife says it was indeed the one and only Monica. Wow. And wow. Please come next month Monica. I might say hi if I'm not too starstruck.

I'm not saying Monica Guzman is hotter than Amy Kate Horn. Scientifically, they are equally hot, and Jonothan Golob can back me up on that. I'm just saying wow, that's all.

My only disappointment: the dearth of Stranger staffers. At the next one, I hereby promise to shower any Stranger writer who shows up with a full 30 seconds of praise, on demand, in Stranger "Blowjob" style, should they be so inclined to demand it.

It was my duty to be a good Beacon Hill Housewife, so I waited patiently. I did some crosswords, read the latest Martha Stewart Living, and then was finally reduced to reading both the Weekly AND an October issue of People. The things I do for that man o' mine....

Hope everyone had fun. I'm much more interesting on the internet anyway.

And we are definitely down for a Slog party on Valentine's day. It's got to be better than overpriced, sub-par food with a pack of other boring couples at some restaurant.

I am not a sex bomb. Grrrr!

Monique, je t'aime. :D

Jess, Josh, Chris, Buddy, and Will, y'all provided some of the best time out I've had in a while.

Poe and Adrian both are sex bombs, as is Dominic Holden. The three of you sitting in a row was delicious.

I'm going to put my drunk ass to bed now. G'night. :)

Instead of three pints of Scotch.

Original Monique looks nothing like Mo'Nique except that they are both short. All the Eastside girls were hot (and a HUGE number of them, too! Who knew?!?) but they need my charming bride Inga to really complete the set. Next time.

Glad you people had fun though.

dominic, it's mark mitchell , NaFun

You seemed like a pretty cool, open, and welcoming group of people.

I no longer think that all The Stranger readers are total hipster buttwipes. That's probably a good thing. Right?

Yeah, someone could get laid or something...

Also, anyone hear form Amelia lately?

Sorry I had to take off early. I probably shouldn't have gone to Azteca for dinner beforehand.

And what's up with all the stoned people?

I loved meeting Adrian! and Dominic. Amy Kate was lovely as always.

I finally got to me phelix, Rhett Oracle, Big Sven, and Karlheinz! Woot.

I loved seeing Bellevue Ave and his awesome girlfriend.

Poe IS totally a sex bomb, but we already knew that. ;)

Going to Dick's afterward with the crew was awesome. I needed some greasy food.

It was a blast meeting everyone. O. Andrew, Mr. Poe, Adrian (you guys are like buttons!), Amy Kate, Nan, Karlheinz, Wisepunk, Mark Mitchell, Mr. Zwickel, O. Monique, etc, etc, etc.

Y'all are some sexy mofos and homos, that's fer sure.

Went to Cafe Presse' with Mark and Dom afterwards (fabulous), complained of hipsters, then watched Kate Bush vids and bitched about Lifelong. W00t!

Really looking forward to the next one now. Can we start a debate about something next time though? Y'all were far too nice. :)

You cannot.

Also, WHO had the cold?!

No need to scratch your head. =)

Original Andrew and I agreed last night (despite my wearing a Clinton badge!) that SLOG night is sort of like when Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf hear the shift change bell- no taking "work" home with you.

In March, I'm coming, I swear.

He just tried to grab my butt.

but, regrets, I have a few...

And what's up with all the stoned people?

...you find this surprising?

Actually, it would be more difficult to scream at a Slog poster you've met in person. Which I find a bit disappointing - what is the purpose of the Internet if not to indiscriminately hurl invective at faceless strangers? Well, that and porn.

Thanks everybody.

Yeah, actually. I've never seen anyone get stoned in a bar in Seattle before. Other places? Definitely. (Two words: rural Midwest.) But, with all the comments about being stoned, it sounds like there was less drinking and more other things. Which for Seattle, I find shocking.

HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

*cough
*sniff

Sorry to offend. But, it's really the bitterness and personal insults I've seen on comment threads that's kept me from going twice now (well, there are other reasons too, but they're less relevant here). $2 well drinks didn't quite seem to make up for it in my book. But, it's nice to know folks had a good time. Maybe I'll show up if these things are still going on in March or April.

He gets it from me :)

@55

I reckon.

mr poe, you're an expert at begging men to come: GO FOR IT!!

Find a sunny spot in your house and lay in it and drink some juice.

Refrain from sexual activity. It drains your fluids.

Some of us (well, one of - ME!) managed to do BOTH! PLUS get my new tat touched up in between!

If your fellow staffers can't multi-task, that's their problem!

And the show was quite enjoyable - sorry you missed it by having to play hostess.

Kate, Emma, Original Monique et al can do it anytime, of course ...

Wow. Being dragged through the mud by strangers on a comments thread is a humbling experience. I think I'm done with this Slog commenting thing. So y'all can give it a rest now. That said, take care, folks!

I had to miss this one - but I was the token fat guy at the last one, and hopefully the next one. Just a warning, so you won't needlessly expose yourself to unwanted sights.

I'm actually thin inside, but I'm afraid if the real me came out, Mr. Poe would seduce me, since I'm an older man.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's just the greasy burrito I had for lunch talking.

Take heart, James--you've probably set a Slog posting duration record for someone with such Eggshell-thin skin.

Agreed! If he thinks that is being "dragged through the mud by strangers" He obviously never read the Native American thread with Bellevue Ave. LOL.

He showed up AND brought his awesome girlfriend that we all LOVE.

Good. Why don't you make a post in your shitty blog about how rude we all are? Oh yeah. Nobody would read it.

We'll throw Ecce Homme off, and keep you.

(thick skins take time to acquire; someone on Slog makes me cry about once a week 'cause they're jerks...then I move on...or get them put onto a NAMBLA mailing list...revenge IS a dish best served as soon as possible...)

WELCOME James!

I'm sure you'd find us not that bad, once you get to know us....

It can be a little challenging to feel welcome here but who cares? It's a public board and until they make it private you are welcome. I have come to love a bunch of people here and I'm old and far from cool.
Don't be scared away and your blog is cool.
When people bitch at you here just bitch back WAY LOUDER and be as obnoxious as you can and you will be fine.
That or hide behind fnarf!

Have you considered the forums, James?

mj, you're rocking my world today.

Still very fun.

Huh. I thought he only did that with toothbrushes.

James might be too sane, kind, and well adjusted for the forums.
