drinking for a cause is good (even if you’re not quite sure what the cause is)…

or if the drinks you are buying “count” towards the fundraiser.

The Whistlestop was a good time, as usual.  I finally met Kristie, who is Dylan’s wife.  I liked her a bunch, so hopefully we’ll hang out more.  Also met Don who is co-owner of subtext.  He’s nice but has some nervous energy that is a little weird.  Ran into Matt Stallings ( http://www.mattstallings.com ) who is a longtime friend of mine.  I’m 95% sure he is going to paint a picture of Ruca dressed up as a donkey as my Christmas present to myself.  I can’t stop thinking about it.  I love love LOVE his paintings, so it will be fantastic.  Julia came out for the night and it was good to see her.  I don’t see enough of her.  Matt, Abby, Kari, Brent Dylan, Kristi, Don, Lou and I went to El Camino (possbily the most amazing restaurant within 15 miles of my house) for drunk dinner.  Yum.

I’m shooting a wedding today and then flying a redeye home tonight.  It’s going to be hellish.  I have a 2 hour layover in Philly that I’m so not looking forward to.  I’m also not looking forward to getting off a plane and it being cold.  It’s been in the 70’s-80’s here for the past few days.

I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off to get everything done before I leave.  It’s not fun.

Pants is disgruntled about something, which is DUMB because I haven’t even talked to him in a few days.

I miss Bean already.

And Lou.
