Saturday I said I'm sorry

Sarah came into my airconditioned room on Saturday morning trying to convince me that I needed to go get food with her. I told her that there was no reason to get up because it wasn't nice out anyway. However, that wasn't the case, it was a beautiful day. But in my room it was dark and I was a little strugglefest. So we went to our favorite weekend brunch place, Tonic.

After brunch, I went to the mall to buy some weekend playclothes. I ended up with new jeans, that I don't really like and a new pair of Chucks, which I love, but caused me a great deal of pain, which I will get to in a minute.

Back at home, Sarah was calling me every five minutes to tell me to come home cuz there was a mob of people outside at the Alley Party. Finally, I got home and got ready for the 1st Annual Kilbourne/Kenyon Alley Party. I laced up the new chucks and went outside grabbed a beer. A few minutes later it started to rain. I realized that I needed to go inside and blow dry my hair before it got all crazy. As soon as I stepped on the first stair I slipped, due to my new shoes and fell down all five stairs. I landed on my back at the bottom crying and laughing. Now I have a HUGE bruise on my back and I have trouble moving around. I feel elderly and I need assisted living. I was supposed to start pilates yesterday, but I can't really do that now. I am going to attempt to go today and have the cute pre/post rehab guy tell me some stretches that I can do.

I should have stayed in the rest of the day, but I figured that if I got really drunk and drugged out than I would be ok. So I took pain pills and drank the rest of the day.

Saw the Hard Tomorrows at Ft. Reno. The weather was beautiful, the band looked refreshed. They sounded great. I love listening to my favorite bands outside, the music just floats around in the air. After their set I went over to Guapo's for Margaritas with Kelly, Perry and Warnock. After 2 pitchers, I wobbled back over and caught end of the Carlsonics set. Another chick bassist - yay!! There was a family there that was dancing all over - another reincarnation of urban yoga from Silver Spring. Also in the family was skinny shirtless dancing man, running baby and blanketed thing. At one point Bobby got up and started dancing with urban yoga. I think that there are digipics of this out there.

We were supposed to go to the Carlsonics after party, but you know plans are for shit. So, we went home to change into our hotfits, but really Kelly was the only one who truly captured the essence of the hotfit. She wore a safari jumper hotshort hotfit and heels. (Kelly is here and she says that she emulated Bridget Bardot). First stop was the Washington City Paper party on Hobart. After a little bit of philosophy, drinks and dancing, it was off to the Dressed to Get Screwed party.

Here are the things that I do remember about the party:

* Everytime that I had to go to the bathroom there was a long line that I waited in for at least 20 minutes. Later that evening I went to the bathroom with Sarah and the sink was on the floor.
* Ben (not Vivari) was wearing a cuban shirt, which prompted a photo shoot of close-ups on people's outfits. Rishi's pre-distressed hole in his jeans, Rishi's pocket, Ben's pattern on his shirt, design on Sarah's t-shirt, the word Quebec on Paul Nighties t-shirt. A few minutes later Kelly came out looking for Warnock's camera. She thought she had lost it, but she had handed it to be so we could do a pornographic photo shoot on the sidewalk. I need to post the photos, if I ever get them. I think there is also a picture of my bruise on there and I would really like to post it if possible.
* Bobby called me to ask where the party was and when I told him T and 16th, he said that he was on S and could here the party. About 20 minutes later, we were still on the porch and we wondered where Bobby was. Rishi decided that he should go look for him, so he left. About an hour later, Sarah comes up to me inside and asks me where Rishi went. I had no idea. Sarah said that he went to look for Bobby. This came as a surprise to me, since I had been hanging out with Bobby for the past hour at the party. He somehow had snuck in while we were on the porch.
* They also had put the couches on their ends in this little little room that leads upstairs. Sarah and I had to use our cellphones as flashlights to navigate through the small coffin like space.
* I somehow employed Ben and then Perry to get me beer from the keg and bring it to me. This worked out well until Perry tried to steal my cup and drink my beer.
* Sarah reminds me that Rishi put us in a cab. Before we even went a block, Sarah said that we needed to go back because Warnock had her phone. Luckily, the cab driver realized that we were idiots and just let us get out.
* Back at the party, the cops came, so the hosts were standing on the porch making sure that we kept it inside. For some reason, it was easier for everyone else to follow these simple instructions, but for Sarah and I, we were in and out and in and out. I don't even know what Sarah had to do inside everytime. But the people living there would get pissed that I was outside and then when I would go inside Sarah would be ready to leave again. A few minutes later, however, she was back inside. This little game went on for awhile.
* Sarah and Warnock had been in communications with Sebastian and group (AC, Erin, Julian, Annette) all evening. Finally just as we were about to get into another cab they showed up. Sarah was on the phone with Rishi trying to convince him to come back to the party. They had been trying to find us all nite, but didn't know where the party was, but somehow they found a bunch of other parties. We moved this whole group back to Hobart in 3 cabs. I showed Erin my bruise and she flipped out.
* Back at Hobart, we sat around the big dining room table under the 70s lighting and I listened to Erin Worley lecture me on how to clean my stairs so that I wouldn't fall again for about 20 minutes. Bobby was sound asleep on the couch and for some reason, everyone decided to go and sit on the couch that he was sleeping on. He did not seem to wake up. But on Monday nite, when asked about this incident. He said that he didn't know why everyone was sitting on him and said that he was going to try to switch couches, but he didn't.

I am sure that more happened, but I cannot remember so clearly, so if you have other memories, please share them with me and I can edit my post later.
