Still recovering from Saturday
The party on Saturday night, C's birthday (although I saw her for a total of 4.4 seconds) combined with Candace and Funnya's 'Welcome to NY' party, was insane. This link pretty much explains how I felt on Sunday, except Dawn won't admit to being hungover and, well, I will. I want to list all the bloggers that were there but am scared that my hazy memory may leave some out. Urban Grind does a pretty good job. I know NYC Smurfette, Ace and Ari were there because I took the cab downtown with them and we met up with Jessica and Funnya soon after. I'm positive Candace was there (and the poor girl lost her wallet) and I know I got to finally meet Ginger. Other sightings included poker blogger Asphnxma, Mr.Ken Wheaton (who blogged about the party here), Yaron (his post here), Ivan, Paul, Mary, Judith, Eric, Fish and Esther .
Some of my non-blogger friends were there as well, three of my best guy friends, including sometimes commenters MKID and SMVP. One of them, Frank White, rarely reads my blog but had voted for me in Wizbang's blogger poll and had taken it pretty hard that I didn't win. He asked me if anyone else had been in that poll and I pointed at Ace and said he had won. I meant that he had won in his own category but Russian-from-Brooklyn Frank said 'I don't like that you're competing with my girl Karol' to him anyway. Second place winner in my category, Michael Totten, was visiting NY and stopped by the party but I only got to say 'hi nice to meet you' and 'bye, great meeting you, sorry we didn't get a chance to talk' to him. Good thing I didn't introduce him to Mr. White.
If anyone else has blogged about the party, let me know and I'll add a link. It was very fun. We should do it again soon.

Michael Totten stopped by? What the hell?!?
Posted by: ken at January 17, 2005 12:16 PMYep. He was with Eric, Mary and Judith.
Posted by: Karol at January 17, 2005 01:25 PMI saw Judith, but I don't remember seeing Eric at all. Maybe they left before I showed up? Maybe I drank them right out of my memory?
Posted by: ken at January 17, 2005 01:40 PMI left after five minutes, not because it didn't look like fun, but for the following reasons:
1. It took an hour to get from Nevins to Alphabet City by subway because there was no 4/5 train.
2. At the same time we were doing this my girlfriend was driving to the East Village trying to find a parking space. She'd been driving around there for 90 minutes and hadn't found one.
3. This may be a phenomenon only of the last couple years or so, but it is literally impossible to park in the East Village on a Saturday night.
4. As I went outside to find cell space to talk to Kim the song "Toxic" was playing.
Anyway, while I was in there I didn't see you Ken, or most of the other people who were there. I did, however, see Karol, Ivan Lenin, and I met Ginger who dissed me because she claimed that I don't read her site. I say nay! I say it is she who does not read my site.
Posted by: Eric Deamer at January 17, 2005 03:01 PMKarol: Great party. It was nice to meet you, even though conversation was nearly impossible.
Ken: Yep, I was there. If I knew you were there I would have looked for you. Maybe next time!

Posted by: Zelda at January 17, 2005 05:29 PMKen, sorry I didn't introduce you to Michael. I almost did, but I didn't know whether you read each other or not. My bad.
