T-H-U-R-S-D-A-Y NIGHT!
I know it’s very self-indulgent, but allow me to discuss last night in point form.
- Went and saw Elmo’s band, The Lamento Suite, play at Spectrum in Darlinghurst!
- They were very very good!
- And that’s not just me being all nice and polite, they actually were ace - hurrah!
- Cameron from the band was simply delightful as well! Go team!
- Compared boozies with Nads during the gig!
- And even followed a certain someone’s sms instructions to grab one of ‘em!
- Great rack, Nadine! I can totally see why the Schmitz wants to schmitz you till he’s got no schmitz left to schmitz!
- Chatted to The Boud, international blogging mega star and all round adorable character!
- Knew at least fifteen strangers by face in the room solely through other people’s photos!
- And then marvelled at how Robin Williams in One Hour Photo I’ve become over the past year!
- Moved onto a pub up the road for further post-RAWK gig chit chat!
- Where I met a few of the freakishly attractive people that constitute their posse!
- And began every conversation with “Listen, look - I met these people off the net but I’m not a nerd, okay? No really, I don’t have to make friends through the web or anything. My other friends didn’t come tonight, but they do exist. I know them from real, non-web stuff. So even though I’m here, don’t think I’m a loser. Because I’m not. Even though I write a blog. Hi, my name is Jess, how are you?”
- Methinks the dickhead doth protest too much!
- Announced in a knowing, sagely voice that I could “sense sexual tension” between afore-mentioned International Blogging Mega Star and a ladyfriend!
- Then sat back, lauding my own superb Piscean intuition!
- Only to discover that they’re a couple. Way to observe the obvious, clownshoes!
- Won money on the pokies, but woe is me! I got distracted by the hypnotising mammaries of Nadine and walked away from the machine - it took till this morning to realise that I am far poorer than need be!
- Talked the ear off anyone within range, including poor Ms Elmo!
- Then freaked out when I realised I no longer had my infamous dorky back pack - hey, I came straight from work, I can’t look RAWK all the time!
- Said my goodbyes, then wept in the street for the loss of my bag which contained a cheap denim jacket, a dodgy make up bag, maxed out credit cards and an angsty journal that was abandoned two months ago after one entry!
- But then stopped by Spectrum on the way home - that was good advice, Elmo! - and miraculously had my bag returned to me!
- Angsty journal secrets = SAFE AS HOUSES!
- Home to bed, a bit sozzled and very relieved!
Yes, it certainly was a good night. Bloggers, eh? Who knew they were so (consistently) kick arse?
Oh wait, I forgot something!
- During Elmo’s gig, spied Bec Cartwright and Delta Goodrem making the lesbian finger fuckbang in the corner, while Andrew Bolt sat at the bar frantically making notes for either a Herald Sun piece, or perhaps a blog entry!

Who writes that Bolt blog? I love them.

It’s the second biggest mystery in Australian media! The first obviously being Kim Kilbey’s career.

Woo, yes it’s back and dorkier than ever!
Still, it’s special in every sense that you got to see me turn all Rainman-y as I frantically searched for my stuff. “Gotta get my backpack, 34 Oxford Street… Gotta get my backpack, late for Jeopardy…”
No, YOU rocked! ROCKED OUT, GO DRUMMER GO!

lovely to see you again, gorgeous woman.
you can feel my rack and freak out my friends anytime you like.
xox
nads rack
i love how your norks are on everyones lips, all over the blogging world.
they are extra spesh.
i hear your gals are nothing to be scoffed at either jess… not in a stalking way, in a people you’ve met have told me way.
the “i met them on the internet, but i’m not a nerd” line gets used a lot down here. lucky everyone’s totally hot and convincing others of lack of uber-nerdness is relatively easy.
“your norks are on everyones lips”
Nads breastfeeds all her blogging mates? Man, I thought I was special!
“i hear your gals are nothing to be scoffed at either jess… not in a stalking way, in a people you’ve met have told me way.”
Haha “Not in a stalking way” has become my mantra since meeting fellow bloggers. Bless! Yes, my mamasitas do me proud, though I suspect one day they’ll try and usurp Nads’ pair’s role as the Alpha Boozies of Blogging and then there’ll be a Baps-off!
All the bloggers I’ve met have been ridiculously good looking. Way to go against stereotype, guys!
tit off
ooooh! chants tit off! tit off! looks like there’s a challenge in the ranks for best mam’s! i’ll join in the running.
don’t you just love how we ‘talk’ about this like no one’s watching.
so voyeristic right now.
I likes a lot!
Best. Inappropriate. Tit. Grab. Ever.
I love that you looked mildly shocked and mildly pleased at the same time though.
You were, my dear, as delightful as ever xx
