Aaaaaaaaaaaaand?
It was pretty awesome. Lots of fun. Still can't surf.
Was invited to a VIP party for the arts festival at a polo club. Never been to a polo club before. Apart from a few friends that I was there with I don't really know anyone. I found myself separated at one point and a server asked me what I'd like to drink. I say water(as I don't drink). He asks what size. I point to a glass on a table and say "that size." He comes back with a huge margarita. I'm standing there alone and I'm just happy to have something to occupy my hands as the entire place has gone quiet for an intro speech. At some point the MC, who's the drummer for Los Gatos Negros(Mexican punk band) makes some reference to punk rock, points at men and says something about my Vibrators t-shirt. The entire place looks over at me with my giant margarita(which I'm holding with both hands) and I realize that I'm the only person who's standing up. You know, it's pretty amazing how sometimes when you're trying really hard to find people that you know you can't, until you look really guilty of doing something you're not supposed to, and then they stand right out. They're looking at me with bug eyes and I'm looking at them with "this isn't what it looks like, I can explain" eyes. I start to sit down, but the nearest chair is like ten away, so I do a half crouch crab walk while still holding the drink with both hands and sit down on the chair, which is pointing towards the back of the room instead of the front. Boy do I look stupid. Turns out it works in my favour in the end. People are amused.
Fun times.
