Weekend Report

Had a fantastic weekend. Saturday, the Uber-Geek in me came out and I was able to successfully hook up my iBook to the outdoor stereo system and stream via my wireless network, the MLB broadcast of Giants Phillys game. Oh yeah, that's some good geek R&R right there. I don't know what was more fun, the hooking up process or the cold beer and ball game reward that came with sweet success.

As the game headed into extra innings, I had to get ready to go over to my cousins for a little shindig. It was a beautiful day so I wanted to take the convertible. It's been so fucking hot here that I hadn't removed the cover since my return from vacation and feared what I would find underneath. As expected, she was filthy. Honestly, what the hell is the point of using a car cover if it doesn't keep the car clean? I mean really... But I wasn't complaining, out came the bucket and sponge and Thelma got a good bath. Mmm.. cold beer, Giants baseball and washing my car... a perfect Saturday afternoon.

Mary Jo's party was fun as always. Her new house is great for entertaining and I'm more than happy to participate. It being a non-smoking house though, I spent the entire evening out on the patio with the rest of the butt-burning crowd. The usual suspects were there along with a few new folks, John and Steve [is that right?!] from L.A. and Johns mother Dorothy. I love meeting mothers.

At one point, Dot (as I, on my 3rd V&T, decided to start calling her) was engaged in a lively conversation with Nicky. Picture this: Nicky is an edgy british singer songwriter with a killer mohawk (apparently he's HUGE in Sweden) and Dot's something straight out of Leave it to Beaver - swear to god. Quite the odd couple but they thoroughly enjoyed each others company. I think she has the whole Tory vs. Labor party thing figured out now while Nicky picked up a good casserole recipe. During the House of Lords history lesson John (who is apparently Traci Lords, yes that Traci Lords, producer) had a brilliant idea and is now trying broker a deal to get Tracy and Nicky to record together. Now that I would pay to see!

We rounded out the evening by making the obligatory trip to Toucans Tiki Lounge, scene of many end of the evening nightcaps and various bad judgment calls. Toucans was packed as always, but since our buddy Nicky tends bar there, we received VIP service. If ya'all want to get a glimpse of this place, my favorite watering hole, check out Boy Meets Boy this Tuesday on Bravo. Judging from the teasers - they do some kind of karaoke thing there in this weeks episode.
