— December 2006 —
Last night's 'WYG, "I'm Not as Think as You Drunk I Am: Tales of Extreme Inebriation," was as boozy and fun as one might have expected. Helen Damnation kicked things off with a story about pissing in Times Square -- she always knows how to start things off with class, that Helen. Emily Epstein told us about bungee jumping while intoxicated, Ed Hamilton relived his days as a redneck-baiting college boozer, and Derek Hartley told us about the trick who peed all over his closet -- stories about drunkenness and peeing go hand in hand, evidently. Or hand in something. And Dan Renzi -- who you might remember from the Miami season of "The Real World" -- and a friend whose name I didn't catch but was adorable and brilliant re-enacted scenes from an ill-fated but apparently action-packed affair with a Heinekin-toting closeted college boy. And I drank a lot of "glug," a warm spiced winey type beverage provided by our friends at the Bowery Poetry Club.
Lots o' pics are up at the WYSIWYG Flickr pool (if you were there and took some, please add yours!) and a few folks have written about the show on their own blogs:
* Derek has a rundown on his site but the permalink's not working -- go check it out!
* Dan's thoughts are here, and you can check out more of his Austin Guy stories here
* Helen's rundown is here
* Ed's story, "Goddamn Watermelon," can be read here
* Joe's rundown is here
* Curly McDimple's is here
* Jon W. Collins's is here
* Dashiell mentions us here
* Jane mentions us here
As always, if I missed anyone, do pipe up and we'll send you some linky love!
Don't know if any of them will end up posting about the show, but several other bloggers were spotted in the audience, including Aaron, Tom, David, and our dear friend Marky Mark, who is half the team of the newly-launched music blog Stereoscope.
And then we all staggered off into the night. Here's hoping nobody got arrested for public urination!
