Rainy But Spiced With Booze

2009 October 19

There’s really only one way to describe this entire weekend: rain + alcohol.

The rain started…actually I can’t remember when it started. It was just THERE for forever it seemed. I do recall, however, the drinking began on Friday night when I made mulled wine because it was well, rainy and cold. Perfect time for mulled wine (which doesn’t seem to give me any headaches).

After Matt and I consumed the whole bottle (me about 3/4 and him the rest), we proceeded to have beer. I don’t remember how many we had but we were both giggling by the end of the night.

It was a miracle I woke up completely refreshed on Saturday. I don’t think I’ve slept that well in a while. But I had an awesome night of partying coming my way so it was probably a good thing I had somehow re-engergized.

As the hours passed and the evening slowly crept in, I headed out with the lovely Alice to Matchbox so we could meet up with DJ and 12minds. I’m pretty sure I fell head over heels for the latter two when I finally met them. It was, how you say, sweetpickleballs AWESOME.

Since it was taking about a century to get a table at Matchbox, we decided to ditch it and instead headed over to Hooters. We is classy like that.

The conversation mainly centered around boobs and other things. See for yourself.

Tweeting

We may or may not plan to have similar conversations with even more awesomeness at a later date.

Once we munched down our food and beers, we hopped in a cab and found ourselves at Stetson’s within minutes for #pbandtuna. All I remember are the many, MANY bloggers who came from ALL over (even Canada!) to take part in wicked awesome blogging party shenanigans. I don’t even know how to describe it. What do you get when you put a bunch of bloggers in a bar together?

  • Boobs and butts are grabbed. By women.
  • Many pictures are taken.
  • They break twitter. No really.
  • Bloggy names are the only way to identify each other.
  • Great amounts of alcohol is consumed.
  • And boobs and butts are grabbed. Wait, did I already say that?

Anyblogcrazyawesomeness, unfortunately the night for one lovely blogger didn’t end so well when her purse was snatched. I’d personally like to punch the person who took it. I’m small, but feisty!

The next day I spent attempting to recover and I somehow did an okay job, until Matt broke open a beer in the evening. We had a few while we Googled all sorts of things like “why do men have nipples?” and “why do farts smell?”

The romance never ends with us.

But on this cold, yet sunny, Monday morning, I am paying dearly for all the drinking I did these past three days. Oy. So this week I’m de-alcoholing my body and drinking nothing but water.

And coffee of course.

Curious to know who was there (other than me of course)?

    Sounds fun, but where are all the photos of said “boobs/butt grabbing?” ;)

    Unfort I didn’t take them, but many other people there did so it’s up to them if they’ll post them! :)

    This sounds phenomenal. I’m a little sad I missed it. Apparently, when you start drinking at 3pm on a Saturday, you have trouble getting to any later engagements…

    I wish you had been there! Would have been so good to see you (and proceed to get trashed).

    I am loving all of these post-weekend write ups. Of course, I’d be loving them a whole lot more if I’d freakin’ BEEN THERE!!!

    PLEASE come visit soon!! Even before #pbandtuna 2010.

  4. 2009 October 19

    Thank you so much for coming!! I’d love to say I regret all the boob and butt grabbing, but that would be a total lie.

    pbandtuna will never be topped.

    until next year that is.

    Lady, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! Next time can you please grab my tatas and booty?

    I don’t even remember the whole weekend yet. I need a couple days to sort through it all. That good.

    I’m not gonna lie, I’m still recovering. In my mind everything is sort of sloshed together between the laughing, boozing and um, butt grabbing.

    Love that you’re hanging with other bloggers … and find it hilarious you need to drink your weight in wine before seeing them. =)

    It’s the only way to keep up with these folks!

  7. 2009 October 19

    I am never, ever drinking again.

    At least not til #pbandtuna 2010.

    Neither am I. Well not until next week. So an early #pbandtuna 2010 party next week? Yes??

    Ugh – I’m only drinking water today, too! Too much tequila this weekend. Even typing that makes me feel ill.

    Whenever I think of beer, I want to hurl. Again. Oh yeah, it happened.

    I’m fairly certain that I lack the appropriate words to say how much I adore thee…

    Unless that word is #chroniclesofboobia

    OH YEAH…it’s coming!

    (but for reals, reals….I do love you to death and I’m so glad I finally got to meet you)

    I cannot wait for #chroniclesofboobia! I wonder if it will top #sweetpickleballs? And I adore thee too!

    can’t wait to see some pictures from this eventful night

    You won’t believe this but I’m impatiently waiting myself since I stupidly didn’t take that many. As in barely any.

  11. 2009 October 20

    Yeah, that was awesome – maybe even more awesome than malt wine.

    Hmm…malt wine….have not tried it but I do like me some mulled wine! ;)

  12. 2009 October 20

    I love boobs and alcohol.

    and DC.

    They are all pretty awesome. Maybe you need to move?

  13. 2009 October 20

    Can we call it a rain spiced latte? The rain is actually vodka.

    Hmmm….I think I like!

  14. 2009 October 20

    It was awesome meeting you! I so wanted to make it down to Matchbox/Hooters to meet you guys. Next time.

    It was great meeting you too! No worries, there will be more meet-ups and we shall all be there. But uh, minus the whole everyone getting the #pbandtunaflu afterwords.

  15. 2009 October 20

    Damn you really like Hooters, huh? Lol.

    And you were at PBAndTuna, too!!?? Jeeeeeez. I so should’ve invited myself and drove up from NC.

    It was just too much fun we were having at Hooters! And you should totally come if there’s one next year!
