Paul and Jason originally recognized Ed at the bar from my old Defamer videos and then every since then we've all kinda kept in touch. Paul was my VH1 friend I was referring to in the MTV video last week. Jason, as a loyal reader of this blog and the one who introduced Paul to Ed and I in the videos, expressed to me last night that it was kinda lame sauce that Paul got an official blog shout out before me. We decided to remedy that.
It was a great night with good friends that I followed up with The Midnight Show at UCB. The show ran on the long side, but there were some of the smartest sketches I've seen in awhile, which is what really stands out when you're watching comedy at a local comedy theater. You don't expect to get something that's totally polished, but it's a chance to look in to some new whacky, intelligent shit that you don't usually run in to these days. I'll probably update with pictures and stuff from that later, but if not, just know that if you're in LA and you like laughing a whole lot for only five dollars, you should check out the show one of these months on the first Saturday of the month.
I called Joe when Alexis and I crapped out on the book signing/Bjork thing because it was a clusterfuck. He met up with us at Birds after we grabbed a quick meal at Swingers with Mel.
Then I called down some other folks and had a little party that basically involved me getting totally hammered, but in a really awesome way.
Here's a video Alexis took of me wandering around my friend's living room, dancing to Beyonce and generally being completely embarrassing:
As far as I am concerned, this is the photo of the night. I like to call this the "triangle of judgment." Well, it's not really a triangle. Mel and Busch appear to be judging Alexis and Alexis seems to be judging them back for judging her. It's really complex. I captured a moment here, you guys. This is a moment. Like that song "Hanging by a Moment" by Lifehouse, but not really.
This is my second favorite picture of the night. I guess Beverly and I have different ideas about how to work the camera. To be fair, her way is more convincing.
I have to get to bed, it's really late... but this weekend was really fun. I didn't get enough Ed, but everything else was pretty on point.
Oh and speaking of on point, look how freakin' long my arms are, you guys. I don't think it's ever occurred to me that I look like Stretch Armstrong, but I'm pretty sure "really fucking long arms" is something I can add to my acting resume under "special talents"
I slept yesterday from 9 AM to 1:30 PM and then proceeded to forget to eat all day. I knew that I was going to drink because I had barely drank all week, my friend passed the bar yesterday and another friend was having a birthday party, so I had to figure out what I needed to do to not be puketown wasted when I woke up this morning.
We got a bottle of tequila.
Now, I know this sounds crazy, because tequila can be both mean and entirely inappropriate, but I recently received a email from a reader who said that if I switched from beer and wine to vodka or tequila that I would deal with less painful results the next day. I trusted her, she seemed to know what she was talking about.
So I picked up a bottle of Don Julio and we went over to Ed's house to start drinking before we headed to the parties. Ed and the boys were running late from the first bar they were at, so Alexis and I decided to get started on Ed's steps so we could catch up.
For some reason we couldn't figure out how to open up the bottle, so we hacked in to it using car keys and proceeded to chase it with half a bottle of warm coke I had. That's sad and honest.
Right now I'm just coolin' in preparation for the sweat I will work up tonight with Hyde and possibly Mel.
