First of all, can I just comment on the fact that John Stewart’s moment of zen last night was, ever so aptly, Bush’s plane flying off into the far, far distance? WOOT.
Ahem.
Also, before I go any further, I would also like to announce that tomorrow’s TMI Thursday will be brought to you by a very, VERY special guest blogger. (No, I’m not just getting lazy. It’s GOOD, and in light of last week’s, very appropriate…)
Sunday night, Katertot of Who Invented Roses, Restaurant Refugee and I were lucky enough to host the smashingly successful Bloggerational Ball. Seriously, to everyone who made it out on one of the District’s craziest weekends of all time… can’t thank you enough, and SO GLAD that you did. It was such an honor to meet every single one of you- there were a ton of people I’ve never met before, which was so freaking cool- and we definitely need to do it again soon.
I was fortunate enough to have the lovely Fearless in Toronto staying with me for the long weekend, and we promptly popped the champagne when she and Refugee arrived at the abode at, oh, 1400 hours. Moments thereafter I was informed that while the delightful 16 Paws had made it to DC all the way from Illinois… her bag had not. Her dress, her shoes, her womanly supplies… the airline had no idea where they were, nor when they would turn up.
She was instructed to come over immediately. Thankfully we are the same size, and though the items weren’t her own, we suitably fashioned for her the Little Black Dress, the Killer Heels, and a bathroom full of Womanly Supplies. (That sounds like a bad name for a feminine product, no? Trust, I mean like… a curling iron and some mascara. As far as YOU know.)
Though it was the Sunday before Inauguration, we managed to quickly snag the ever-fashionable Minivan Cab and rolled up to the Reef in style.
Then things get blurry…
Let me draws it out for you. (And I apologize that I am in almost every one of these pictures… but we aren’t all Halfway Out of the Closet yet, so that’s what you get, suckas.)
There was fencing, fighting, piggy backs, jumbo slice, true love… wait what? Truly, I don’t know when the last time I had that much fun was. A BLAST, PEOPLE. In case you didn’t get that… A BLAST.
Most of these fantastic people made it out… (I’m sorry but I don’t want to leave anyone out! Shout out in the comments if I do and I will promptly slap myself.) Again, I can’t thank you all enough for making it such a fun night. Though my liver still aches from the past few days, I’m sure that in a week or so I’ll be ready to do it again…
Tag, you’re it!

Looks like fun was had by all you lovely people!
Are you…piggybacking on Arjewtino? If my eyes are not mistaken then that is the coolest thing ever and I am infinitely jealous.
I totally feel like I look special in that picture.
Also….mmm, boobies.
Huh. So I DID avoid the camera. I’m more awesome than I thought.
I TOTALLY did NOT go to Jumbo Slice.
Fail.
Did anyone call ‘dibs’ yet on that chick’s boob mole?
Wait! There were slices? I always miss the good stuff.
I had a great time LiLu, thanks to you, Katherine and the Ref for putting it all together.
Ugh, I missed the jumbo slice too! And the fencing…. next time, I’m definitely taking work off the next day.
Miss Scorpio: Too much fun, but in the best way.
BWP: I am a lucky lady. You can have some cooties if you want…
Lemmonex: The boobies were out in full force that night.
66: Not possible. Wait…
Deutlich: HOW??? It’s unavoidable.
mooooog: You’ll have to ask the lady herself… whoinventedroses.com
You all look GORGEOUS!
I’m saving up as of now so I can attend the next one!
BTW, I wrote you a poem
Still jealous of the piggyback AND of the late night snack. Although, I probably would have opted for empanadas over jumbo slice. Next time…next time.
Foggy: Thanks so much for coming, darling. I have an adorable pic of us I need to send you.
FlipFlops: I would have had to call in sick, definitely. You are a SUPERSTAR.
Fiona: Oh, I heart you, lady. You have to make it out here next time!
Liebchen: Fearless had never experienced jumbo slice… it HAD to be done.
You and Arjew need to have a friendly competition to see which of you ends up in the most photos.
That dress does great things for my boob mole.
And I opted out of jumbo slice for dancing like the rhythmicly challenged white girl that I am. Glad you don’t have pics of that!
looks and sounds like a freaking blast! sad i missed it!
How much fun is THAT? So glad you had a good time!
Katherine – Just be glad I kept my own camera stowed in my pocket.
I’m getting the picture of B and me mounted and framed. Maybe even personally autographed.
Frecks: True story. If by “friendly competition” you mean “fight to the death”. Gotta make it interesting.
Katherine: I do not, but they are in my mind forever, my sweet. (Just trying to see how much ONE of my blog posts can creep you out…)
Brookem: Thanks, darling! Wish you could have been there.
Kate: “Good time” is a nice, legal, safe way of putting it…
Arjewtino: You two are adorable. There were more, too. I’ll send you the link.
Both you and Katertot missed (read: don’t remember) the crowning ceremony for the Royal Court of the Ball, so I retroactively declare you both: Pretty, Pretty Princess of the First Ever Bloggerational Ball. Your Welcome.
…and anytime you want to throw a party, just give me a ring; I loved working with you both almost as I love drinking with you both.
sounds like you had a blast!
wish I could have been there!
Why does all the cool stuff have to be in DC? Well i guess we do have 75 degree weather, girls in bikinis and celebrities everywhere out here.
I say 2012 ball should be in LA. nay, demand.
That guy with the beard is a hottie. I guess I need to start attending these blogger meetups.
Refugee: We throw a great soiree, my dear. Also, please send my tiara. You know where I live.
Woolly: Me too, darlin! It was a great time.
rs27: Well, if you DEMAND, I don’t see that anything else is to be done. Start plannin, mister.
Zan: Hands off. He has a crush on B.
I’m glad you all had such a great time. I am very very sorry I missed the fun. The truth is, I don’t rock very much lately. But the good Lord willing, I will again sometime.
There was a tiara? Arjewtino was there?
Who are you? Where was I?
Clearly I was distracted. Not so unusual for me…
Love you, dearie. Any time you feel like freezing your tushie off…just let me know. Bring that handsome whats-his-name with you, too.
next time, next time. but seriously looks like a great success.
How fun!! It looks like you guys all had a blast.
And now I demand Arjewtino must give every blogger a piggy back ride. Ok at least the girl bloggers.
I had a blast w/ you guys! can’t wait for the next one only then I will a) wear proper footwear and b) make flippy take the day off. Though it’s always fun to see my boss wasted.
