MOTM - December 6, 2007

A fine turn out last night at the Belmont.

Stacy Z. made an early appearance and early departure. We'll take what we can get. Mike G. ("G-Low") was a welcome addition. Paula, Ryan D. and the lovely Tiana (sp?), JillyBean (now to be known as J-Spot by popular acclaim), Stephenie and Stuart all brought their special panache to the occasion. Sean C. was a participant. He has promised to bring his wife and her puppets to a subsequent gathering. Leslie B., fresh from her unfortunate encounter in a cross walk with a F-150, made the evening bright. Attendance on her part required some effort and we appreciate that. She also brought a friend that added a nice element to the occasion. Restricted blood flow to the memory organ makes her name presently unavailable to me. J-Spot also had a friend attend for a while but then it was determined that he had another friend so he left rather abruptly. Penny H. favored us with her presence. After all that she has had to deal with, I hope this provided a brief respite. Shunit favored us. However, in the presence of G-Low she slipped easily into her street persona. One time, when I was trying to engage her in small talk, she growled "If you don't start no shit, there won't be no shit". Nuf said. There were others in attendance and my failure to mention them is no reflection on their contribution, but a direct result of the memory organ thing mentioned above.

Todd, Angel and Aaron failed to be repeat offenders. Maybe Todd thought that Lone Star was not included in happy hour. Victoria also ditched us, again. Some rumor about a final or something. Anticipation was high regarding her promise to wear her J-Lo dress. Hopes were crushed.

Next week: Same time, same place. The Belmont was cooperative in arranging chairs and tables and attending to J-Spot's temperature needs.

Discussion topics for next week:

1. War, what is it good for?
2. "Book 'em Horns" rather than "Hook 'em Horns"?
3. 10 best pick up bars in Austin not named Belmont.

Required dress: Dress as your favorite magi: Caspar, Melchior or Balthazar. Camels, gold, frankincense and myrrh optional. Extra points for having your own guiding star.

Peace out.
