The Playaz Came [In Effigy]

The real Playaz couldn't make the weekday trek to DC for GBTYMOHH, so they sent their likenesses (which we didn't burn) instead. The Playaz hopped on the Paper Jet and landed in the middle of Connecticut Avenue (which caused quite a commotion during rush hour), right in time to make a Playaz-style entrance on the DC blogosphere festivities.



The Playaz are really quite hysterical. We drank shots of bourbon together and discussed Chewbacca vs. Tac.



Following a kiss from Lucy, a chat with Asian Mistress and Dale and a smoke with AUA (the resident blogger-hottie as we so affectionately labeled him last night), effigious Phil even allowed me to take a drag from his 2-dimensional pipe. It is confirmed, that ain't tobacco in there...







I blame Heather B. for this headache I have this morning. She suggested the chocolate martinis. So I ordered a few...

And then the evening just got plain silly...

Phil got a little tipsy and turned sideways,

Asian Mistress and I went from this



to this (Kathryn and I thank our new friend for the glow sticks - fun present!)



to this (damn chocolate martinis - they seemed so innocuous),



Jinxy's wife let him out for the night!

The hot Canadian girls got flirty for SethJ,

Certainly not your average Wednesday night.

If I had even an ounce of Kathryn's uncanny ability to remember people's names and blogs the next day (again, I'm going to blame the chocolate martinis here), I'd thank everyone individually, but alas, I don't have those kind of skills (gosh!). But I will say, it was great to see all the old, familiar faces, and meet a whole slew of new people as well. Readers, fellow writers and commenters - your presence was definitely welcomed and appreciated. It takes guts to walk into a room full of people you don't know, so mad props all around.

Oh, and AUA, thanks helping me search for my belongings. I did find my purse, eventually, all contents intact...
