My heartfelt thanks to all of my fellow Brownstoner addicts who showed up last night and made our gathering an absolutely fantastic event. It was wonderful meeting new friends and being reacquainted with old friends. To those who wanted to attend but couldn’t, hopefully we’ll have another party somewhere down the road. Special thanks to you Mr. B for allowing me to announce the event in the Forum and for joining us in the celebration. And I promise this is my last Forum post for awhile!

  1. Wow Biff sounds like the party was real nice and you guys had tons of fun. Sorry we couldn’t make it ( no coverage @ work) but thanks for the effort and hopefully next time..

    MM sorry we’ve always thought you were a dude and referred to you as such 🙂 From now on its dudette ma chere.

    The WHAT: we’ve always given you credit for your predictions but you are really starting to go from rude to plain schizophrenic. We mean this sincerely: Have you tried lithium? Zyprexa? Or are you taking Ketamine recreationaly? Again these are serious questions since you definitely seem to fit the diagnostic criteria for moderate to severe psychosis. Now on the slight chance that you are indeed mentally intact then we are left with a simple answer: shpos.

  2. There’s little concrete about me, smokychimp; if anything I like playing devil’s advocate.

    Guess I can dial-up the snark-meter in due course.

  3. 11233, you’re free to talk about whatever you want in my thread. Permission granted. Gee wiz, I really wish BRG and I spoke to you last night! We have to do it again and mingle. I did see you talking (to Dave I think?) but you left before I had a chance to schmooze with you.

  4. BRG: I only jest. And you are not an appliance snob by any stretch. I have always kept the possibility of resale on my mind when I have made any changes to my house. That said, I make the changes I want and live with the potential re-sale issue later. Since I have never ever had to buy an appliance before in my life, I feel really odd about the task of shopping for one. I would rely on my parents, but they never bought an applicance either. (Perhaps it is a genetic aversion to stoves?!) So I default to the people I know who have ever made their opinion known. I have gotten some feedback from various people and, of course, think about what would make me happy. Given that I only have leftovers and alcohol in my fridge and I nuke or reheat everything I eat, my needs are few. Your thoughts stick in my mind. Not in a bad way. They are just there. THL and others have commented about appliances, but your comments were the first for me and I remember them more strongly.

    Wait, did I just go off topic and talk about a house?! This thread is about socializing. How dare I?!

    Second thought: If this thread is about being social, shouldn’t the what be banned from posting?

  5. gab, great to meet such a warm and friendly person like you too. Hopefully you’ll hang out even longer next time. Beautiful child you have, by the way.

  6. Good point Bob. We might as well give What credit for the good aspects of the current calamity as well. Bringing the dominance of the Reagan/Bush coalition to an end is certainly a welcome development and if the What wants to take credit for that well then more power to him. Its not like his ego can get any more over inflated.
