oscar de la libation!

hoooooooooo!

what a weekend. an actual weekend-based birthday happens only what, every 6 or 7 years or something? so with that, it seemed prudent to really rile things up this year 'round, esp. after last year's car chase thriller. the din at The Pour House was quite good though Lex emerged as the big winner on that one with their very reasonable yet expansive pizza. not so expansive was our 1st room at xo karaoke, which quickly got to sauna-like sweat levels, what with hot beats from fitty cent and gloria gaynor. a move to the larger room (with an ever-growing contingent) proved MUCH more comfortable. clearly, as in the referenced Lost In Translation theme for the night, private karaoke is worth it, and the way of the future. talks are already on for a return visit.
alas, dance cave was not to be, and the new renovated entrance was thoroughly baffling to my intoxicated mind. luckily, the boys at The Tap str-eeeeeeeeeetched last call in our favour. thanks to all the good folks who came out and put up with my boorishness!

the (6th?) annual Oscar Night of Wagering was fun as always, with the ever-competitive Lex taking the top and only prize. Consensus that there was WAY too much Beyoncé and Chris Rock was rather sterile. Great to see wins for Sideways and especially Charlie Kaufman and my hero Gondry. Bravo!

cmw's coming up this week, daily updates will be on hand!
