Par. Tee. Dowwwwn. Plus, an announcement!

[thehefner]

Glasses were broken, the floor is stained and sticky, and there are remnants of Manhattans* and Skittlebrau** throughout the house. Good party. Damn good. I think.

I hope everyone had a good time. I know I was entitled, as birthday boy, to get wasted, but I honestly did try to be a good host for the first half there. I also did not mean to get that drunk either; Corona and tequila is a deadly, sneaky, ass-whomping combo, yummy though it may be.

I never did get around to making Heffie Coladas for y'all (where I'd put de lime in de coconut), but I think Alan made margaritas. I think I even had a sip, and I think it tasted ok, better than my previous attempt to make them from scratch.

Right right. Once I mop up the floors, it's gonna be a long evening of doing homework for class, revising the book, and thinking about my OTP of doom. And maybe even trying to draw it, God help me. If I do, you'll all see why I never became a comic artist.



Also, an announcement. After much deliberation with people last night, wherein it was discussed that "My Grandfather's Last Words" might not be the ideal Hefner Monologue to do for the Fringe festival (I wish people like, say, my mother had seen fit to bring that up earlier! Oy, so embarrassed), I have decided to not tell that story after all. There's too much in there that just wouldn't be funny to many people.

So instead, I'm going to go all-out and do the Tammy story. The whole thing, best as I can edit and condense it down to an hour, hour and a half, plus intermission.

So yeah, let it be known, Rudes board people and all interested parties. The nature of my one-man-show for Fringe Festival has changed, and for the better, I think and hope.



*I think Alan and I finally discovered the key to the perfect Manhattan. 2 parts Crown Royal to 1 part sweet vermouth, the teeniest splash of dry vermouth, a splash of authentic grenadine (got it from whole foods; made from pomegranate seeds and cane sugar instead of corn syrup and red #40), and of course bitters. Excellent, excellent, excellent. Hopefully we'll be able to pull it off again!

**Simpsons-inspired concoction of Lowenbrau and Skittles; as long as you drink it within fifteen minutes before the Skittles melt too much, it's a success!

Sounds like a blast. Sorry I was too under the weather to come and partake. Manhattans on the porch would've done me right, otherwise. Oh, and happy birthday, and of course, good luck with Fringe!

Well, that and our house is littered (pardon the unintentional pun) with cat hair, so you would have likely been even worse. It sucks, because I'd have loved to have had ya. And thankee!

The Skittlebrau sounds awesome and shall be drunk in your honor, sir! (Cheers on your birthday too!)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Taking a cue from the SIMPSONS episode, somebody actually went ahead and experimented with various forms of Skittlebrau, which is why I decided to use Lowenbrau.

It's not brilliant, but it ain't bad. As long as you drink it within fifteen minutes, otherwise it gets a bit sweet. But maybe you'd like that, I dunno.

And thankee! :) Even if my birthday was actually on March 3rd (we had the party last night because we couldn't get all my friends at any other time!)

I had a dream about that Skittles drink before I even knew it existed. Weird. I'm glad you had a fun party :)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Problem with yours is that it's more of a Skittletail (the name I just now made for it). A Skittletail is the girly version, sweet and bubbly, while Skittlebrau is manly manly manly, and even German! Can't get much manlier than the Germans!

That said, if you take that Skittletail and throw in even the tiniest drop of vermouth (and maybe take out the sprite), it'll become a Skittletini.

Hey, with the Tammy story, you can use the sexy poster thing. Yay sexy poster of Tammy with cool tagline!

I wouldn't be comfortable doing that if I couldn't get her permission first. Which'll be hard, since it looks like she's fallen off the fucking face of the earth yet again! Every six months, she has a new e-mail, new phone number, new job, sometimes new address.

[gore-whore-5.livejournal.com]

Of course I meant with her permission. Sucks that she's disappeared again, though.

Dude, I'm sorry that Kimmy and I couldn't make it. I really wanted to but it didn't work out.



Are you planning on seeing Grindhouse anytime soon (would you be interested in my company if you are?)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I actually will hopefully be seeing a sneak preview on Tuesday night, but that may or may not work out (long story). But even if I do, keep me in mind, as I may well be up for seeing it again with youse!
