Saturday, June 18, 2005 How we roll
My one friend knows how to party. It is because of her that I spent my New Year's Eve on an alpaca farm. She works for a film festival, and if tonight had gone a little differently, right now, I'd be on the way to the DC area. There I would watch a filthy, filthy movie about comedians and what all they get up to when there's no one else but other comedians around.
My friend took pains. She pulled strings. My name, internet, my own humble name is on The List. There are lists, and there are lists. The list that bears my name controls access to a nearby moose lodge, where, if life were not a vale of tears, I would be attending an afterparty with all the moose in their fezes, all the film snobs who want to get married to the concept of the documentary, and a bunch of drunken commedians, including Gilbert Gottfried.
It is so sad. My friend can work miracles of show business, but she could not provide overnight accomodations, and since to get from Baltimore to Silver Spring on the weekend, I'd have to take three kinds of public transit, several of which stop running fairly early.
I have friends in the DC area, but the sad part about being part of an affair where one is on the list is that one cannot just bring others there, and the sad part about that is that one cannot call up one's friends and ask to crash at their place for the night with Gilbert Gottfried braying away in the background and the drunken mooses all trying to show you the secret handshake, and be like, "I'll be there right after this awesome party. You can't come." Then you come back there reeking of highballs and cigar smoke in the middle of the night, with a lampshade on your head, and a fez on your head, also (under the lampshade), crashing into the furniture. And you say, "I brought my new friend Gilbert Gottfried. Can he use your shower?"
Miss Manners would not approve. Some days, I wish I had a car. A nice lady did give me her bus pass this morning, though. It's just sad that's the sum of my special priveleges for today. posted by Frenzy Lohan | 6/18/2005 08:25:00 PM
