Because I think I'm throwing a party. For people! For real-life people! This is so unlike me because, you know, I hate people.
But anyway, at this point I'm thinking I might as well throw an awkward shindig that will gather a bunch of people who don't know each other together for no other reason than to celebrate the fact this level of awkwardness may never be reached again. Although I plan to be awkward forever.
Anyway, here are the details:
WHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. until whenever you leave.
WHERE: (And this is where you must open your mind a bit.) Upstairs at Chief Ike's on Columbia Road in Adams Morgan. Yeah, I realize no one's probably ever been there and
I don't believe there's a need to RSVP because I'll show up even if no one else does as I've been promised free booze. If need be, I'll drown my sorrows. Yes, if nothing else, at least I always have a Plan B (and I'm not just talking about the abortion pill).
Also, I managed to write a blog yesterday over at the new home, Marissa's Big Adventure, that is pretty much 800 words all about pants. Sadly, this wasn't my first treatise on the issue. In fact, a similar essay actually got me into a "top liberal arts college" back in *gasp* 1997. Apparently, nothin' caught the attention of admissions agents in the nineties better than turning a story about buying a pair of ratty slacks in a Minnesota thrift store into a philosophy-drenched allegory about finding the right path in life. And that, my friends, is why I'm unemployed. Anyway, you can read that by clicking here if you're so inclined. (Please be inclined.)
See you a next week? Anyone?

I'm not sure which is scarier, the fact that I'd be there with a bunch of you internet troll weirdos...
Or the fact that you might be looking at me and thinking.. who is that internet troll weirdo!
That being said.. I just showered last week, and I had my back waxed the week before, so I am ready to party!
Bueller?
Chief Ikes is an incredible venue. Real people in the plastic confines of DC. I imagine you talked to Rob who works there. He is a good person and also a damn fine DJ. Maybe I'll stop on through.

Down. I plan to bring this sort of ruckus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nk5iRluTew
I'll be there after class, probably around 9:30/10pm-ish. I wouldn't miss Awkward Fest 2k9 for anything!
Also, my poor reading skills lead me to believe the "clicking here" hyperlink would have directed me towards your 1997 essay. Sadly, this was not to be.

p.s. Natty Boh!
See you next week.

The fact that you just said that makes me even a little excited to meet Internet people!
ben:
If you don't show up wearing at least one item in honor of Ronald Reagan I will be very sad.
fist:
Nope, not Adam. But I will be a little upset if I really do like the place and it turns out I've just been missing it for the past few years. Of course, I am going to Chile in two weeks, so I'm sure I'll get over it.

Down with everything but the cat kicking me in the face.

If only I still had a copy of that pants essay. That was gold! But sweet! I'll be there probably until I pass out, which means then I might sleep there so definitely drop by!

Awesome! Can't wait to put a face to the e-name!
Oh sad. You're escaping DC a whole month after I did, and now I can't have an incredibly awkward internet drink with you at Ikes. Please keep the archives up at The Anti DC if only so I can remind myself in moments of weakness why I got the hell out of that godforsaken city.
