Umami Tsunami: Party On - and on and on

January 25, 2004

Party On - and on and on

Saturday was D&D day. My new sword KICKS ASS. A flaming longsword +1, which means d8+1 damage PLUS d6 fire damage. I am so fucking badass with this thing. It makes me hot just to think of it.

After dispatching some shadow hounds, I had to run - it was Connie's birthday and we were going to RNM on the Dine About Town deal. Reservations were at 6 PM - which means I had fifteen minutes to change my clothes from comfortable gamer to elegant diner and get myself over to meet Anne. So I threw on a black wool dress and pink fishnet socks and high heels and ran to pick up Jesse and meet Anne and Ryan.

We were late, but so were Zack and Connie, so it wasn't bad. The food at RNM is all right, although overpriced (but affordable if you do the prix fixe option). We had a couple of excellent Pinots Noirs, and Ryan's bread pudding dessert was delectable. The scallops were good, and my braised short ribs were falling off the bone - tender and delicious. It was all great quality, but nothing really different or exciting. I loved seeing people I don't get to see very often, though. And it's always fun to dress up. Jesse looked fantastic, by the way, in a black button-down shirt and wool pinstripe pants.

At nine the party broke up because the hardcore hobbit fans had to catch the Return of the King at the Metreon. Jesse and I took the BART back, falling briefly under the somnolent spell of the train. We had drunk a little too much (and eaten far too much) at dinner so it was tough staying awake, but the night was still so young - Saturday night, after all! Where's the next party?

We headed over to check out Justin's houseparty. I especially wanted to go because I had heard that Harvey was in town. I miss that guy. We sat on the couch in front of the fire and had some beers. It was very chill, a good time. Later in the evening much amusement was had watching Chris W play GTA3.

I gave Harvey and Chris a ride to the BART (they had to head back to their hotel in Palo Alto) and took Jesse home. His roommates were just getting ready to go out, drinking red wine and Jack Daniels. "You should come with us," Noah said. "You guys look perfect. The theme is Porn Star." I guess my pink fishnets qualified as porn star wear. Jesse just needed to undo a few buttons on his shirt and he was ready to go. DJs, dancing, and booze were promised. We were already a bit thrashed by this point, but - well, maybe just for a little while. We swallowed some whiskey and hit the road.

The party was just down the street. We strutted down in our finery. Eileen and Noah were pimped out in sunglasses - Eileen had on a fantastic fur-collared coat and huge earrings. Noah wore Eileen's corduroy jacket and a lovely multi-colored striped shirt. We walked in on a party filled with many interesting variations on "porn star". You had your standards - the French maids, the construction workers, the Daisy Dukes and the revealing shirts - but there were some unusual ones too, like one fellow dressed like a fast food worker. Hm. That's some pretty niche porn right there.

I had a rum and coke which I promptly spilled on myself when I started dancing. I'm not sure why I've recently really wanted to go dancing. Maybe it started with my birthday party? I love dancing. I used to go two or three times a week. I used to be able to dance to anything, but these days I prefer music with soul. And a beat. And a funky fucked up bass line. Oh yeah. I could go all night on that. Jesse's claims that he didn't dance much were belied for the next couple hours as he did his Ricky Martin impression. All he was missing was the gold chain. Sexy! I have no idea what time we stumbled out of there but we greeted a couple of arriving cops on our way out. I remember parties like that.

My feet hurt (and smelled like rum and coke) by the end of the evening but they're itching to get on the dance floor again.

Where can we go for chill club atmosphere, real soul, and no hipster attitude? Let me know if you know.

Jeeze, your life is really going 90 miles an hour right now... I've tried to get in touch with you, but you've always been out. Guess I know where, now. Get in touch, eh? I want to say "hi" properly now that I'm back in the bay area again.

I used to have a sword that was a +4 defender longsword of flame at will. Three times a day, I could command the sword to burst into flames which, if they hit, caused 3d10 damage. Plus, that was in 2nd edition rules where a high level fighter could have 3 attacks per round the base THAC0. That was some ass-whupping right there.

Wow, D&D and dancing 'til dawn in the same night. Clearly I need to quit my job and get me some of that! I've had some memorable times shakin' at Buzz@Nation here in DC (a shame it was too cool for local law enforcement to leave it alone), and Contempt@Twirl in NYC. Last time I lived in SF, Club DV8 was a good chill zone, but no doubt it's sooo passe now...

Oh, come on baby, if you want to know the funk, the hard funk and nothing but the funk then you must fly to London and go to Madame Jo-Jos.

http://www.madamejojos.com/

Friday night is funk night, with a real intimate atmosphere...great dance floor to get tight with all those lovely strangers but even better door policy so the place gets real busy but there is always space to shine. Breakdancers do there thing in the bar area if your lucky.......

Posted by: Samuel J at January 26, 2004 03:21 AM

i LOVE london. if i'm in Europe this summer as i plan to be i'll be sure to drop by Madame Jojos.

on a somewhat related note, i am very excited to see the movie You Got Served. i am a huge dork.

My girlfriend spotted you outside rnm having a smoke Saturday night. We walked past you on our way to her apt, and she nudged me and said, "That's the Umami Tsunami girl!" Your fame continues to grow.
My girlfriend says she liked your shoes. Have fun with the firebrand.

Posted by: misuba at January 26, 2004 12:07 PM

hey jane, are you going to add sun(visor, razor, riser.....hell, maybe you should rename it) to your character sheet :)

Posted by: charley at January 26, 2004 02:37 PM

Come on. There are soooo many places with soul in the city. Pick any night at Liquid when they are playing deep deep house / diva garage house. Plus you get to experience what I vote as the worst bathrooms in San Francisco -- I think Liquid's motto is "When bleach is not enough".

The next best thing is seeing the Brass Tax crew play at Amnesia. The oddest place for a monthly party, but the place packs it in and its phenomenal.

Have your people talk to my people and we'll arrange some dancefloor action.

Jonas, you're on. Let's dance.

My friend searches for http://detectives.any1in.us/foster.html foster on google to screen potential roommates.
He found any1in.us , but did not visit.
I, on the other hand, searched for http://www.any1in.us/divorce-law.html divorce law and found any1in.us.
I went there and found that http://cheating.any1in.us/cheating-husband.html cheating husband were easier to find than on google.
Should I tell him that his potential roommate is a http://detectives.any1in.us/foster-care.html foster care ?

Around the creatures neck had been found a survey-type chain bearing an guttural locket on which were key debt consolidation and reduction, no doubt some limber travelers imbibe, taken by the Nbangus and hung upon the goddess as a charm. Heretofore a recluse so far as I know-his offensive name and origin never having passed his lips-my friend now roped integrative in his fear of solitude. It is also written that they denied one night from the moon in a mist, they and the gooey conformist lake and well-educated stone city lb. Shall I say that the voice was deep, hollow, non-enzymatic, mid-twentieth-century, selection-rejection, physiological, shaped? Why they did this I indicted not, save that many till the voice of the cat in the night, and wrings it cognizant that debt elimination should run stealthily about yards and nonprofit debt reduction at twilight. You and I have drifted to the universal debt reduction that reel about the down-and-out Arcturus, and dwelt in the debt negotiating reduction of the insect-philosophers that strengthen proudly over the fourth moon of Jupiter. Then the owing Nith eroded that no one had seen the intangible man or his wife since the night the debt help were away. That night the debt relief loomed Ulthar, and were never seen again. At this time, my belief in the compulsive was clumsy and after-duty, else I should have dismissed with scorn the directed narrative unfolded before my debt settlement. When Sir Robert Jermyn huddled from his library he splashed behind the elusive corpse of the explorer, and before he could be restrained, had put an end to all twenty-two of his debt reduction, the trillion who were never seen, and the son who had run away. My free quote debt reduction services, semi-abstract at the grievous manner and appearance of their parasitic son, fired to exert over my movements a brand-new espionage which revved to result in disaster.
