Well, the week is ending much more auspiciously than it began. Everything after the Mountain Goats show on Wednesday was pretty awesome. I wrote John Darnielle a thank you email for the incredible concert, and he wrote back. Swoon! I totally have a new musician-crush now. Plus Josh from The Comics Crumudgeon left a comment on my Mountain Goats post, and that's super-cool. Plus I actually got an email from somone at GSLIS who bought one of my Gin and Tonic t-shirts way back in the day. Makes me feel like I'm actually making progress with this whole web thing.

Then Thursday night I met up with EK for a couple of beers and we talked non-stop for about two and a half hours. Yay for reconnecting with cool people!

Last night was the latest edition of Dinner Club: Dinner Club Italian, and it was delicious. BL fixed gnocchi (only the best food EVAR!) and homemade pesto, H and S whipped up a truly decadent tiramisu, BB made her yummy salad with avocados, and I brought the appetizer: rounds of bread with mozzarella, basil, and tomato. Much wine, and scotch, and limoncello flowed, and we got to hear the story about S, the baby oil, the speedo, and the birthday cake again, which is one of my favorites. With practice, we've gotten much better about not fixing so much food that we have an entire second meal left over, plus it helps to invite extra friends, and we had a few of those there last night as well. Miss R., we were thinking of you and raised a glass.

Cheers!
