So a whole bunch of us headed to Misshapes to dance, but this was right around the time Misshapes started blowing up big time (Madonna ended up DJing there the following week) and when we got there, it was sooooo crowded that we said "fuck it" and decided to head across the street to the short-lived Movida. A way lamer time, but at least there was room for me and the gaggle of biddies I was with the shake our booties. Here's Gurj, Babbette (who I'd just met that night) Sarah, Jenne and Lauren.
An hour or two later, we figured that Misshapes had probably cleared out a bit and decided to head back across the street to check it out. As I was crossing the street, Tinny spotted us all coming out of Movida ("TRAITORS!!!!") and attacked!
I was upstairs and I spotted a David lookalike (why he was dressed up as a character from Star Trek, I'm not sure). Anyway, we asked him to kiss Leigh and then I sent this picture to Kim (David's GF who had gone back to the UK a few days ahead of David) and was like "David's totally out of control! He came to Misshapes dressed up as a guy from Star Trek and was trying to make out with all the girls there!" Hahaha. She almost believed me.
And this one's even better! Leigh opened her mouth again to pretend that she was going to eat Piper's head and Piper put her tiny little puppy-paws right in Leigh's mouth. (Go ahead and say "Awwwww!" out loud. You know you want to).
While we were all standing outside playing with Piper, I noticed that there was a really, really drunk girl sitting up against the building and teetering back and forth. Sensing something magical was about to happen, I made sure to keep my finger on the shutter button. Sure enough, a few minutes later....wait for it....wait for it....
...BAAAAAAAAARF! I managed to catch the impact but was a few seconds too late to catch the actual vom-stream coming out of her mouth. (I guess I'm slipping!).
Then Leigh came out to say hi to Piper and kept saying "You're head is so cute and tiny I want to bite it off!" (Look at Piper's expression all like "Yo! WTF?").
Later that night we all went to Misshapes. I didn't even dance. I just hung out in the backroom, got krunked on free vodka (woooo!) and somehow took pictures of a bunch of people wearing the same creepy, ShirleyTemple-esque wig. Here's Josh.
...head to Misshapes, which was also way too loud and crowded. So we went back into the secret room in the back and pretty much found everyone else we know hiding back there too. Somehow a roll of electrical tape ended up becoming the entertainment for the night. Leigh-man Chu.
Late, late that night I went over to Misshapes and Ellen introduced me to her (equally genetically blessed) little brother! (See dude? I told you I'd eventually get your pic on the web! It only took me, what, almost two years?)
She and her friend wanted to pose for funny pictures with him, but when her friend leaned in for the pic, she slipped and the two of them ended up falling backwards and...
After J's party, I headed over to Misshapes 1.0. Sarah and a girl who's name I don't remember. (I just tried looking at her nameplate necklace in the hi-res version of her photo and I think it says Marya? So I'm either wrong, or I'm right and she just has a weird name).
Fatty even showed up trashed out of his mind with a bunch of his co-workers! One of them passed out on the infamous couch in the back. (The site of 2004's infamous "Drunk Guy Jenga") And despite her being one of Fatty's co-workers, rules are rules. If you pass out in public, it probably means that...
Afterwards I headed over to Misshapes to meet up with Sarah and Leigh. After SXSW, pretty much everyone (except me) headed down to the Winter Music Conference in Miami and so everyone was showing off their...
