I am sorry for this late post on the goings at the first TVgasm happy hour but it took at least 3 days to get the ecstasy out of my system in order to write this (Apparently Gina64 is the #2 supplier of designer drugs on the east cost).
It was in my opinion a resounding success. While it was a small affair (5 of us total) it was still a lot of fun. First let’s set the scene. The Spigot Café in beautiful Hartford CT is the go to dimly lit local sports bar. A laid back atmosphere made even more laid back by the fact that Trinity College and the UCONN law school were not in session, ensuring a low turnout. Think of the kind of clubs and bars that J-unit and B-side go to meet reality stars and the Spigot is its ugly twin. The Spigot is Danny Devito to the TVgasm fancy La club’s Arnold Schwarzenegger. What can I say, we keeps it real. Still it’s the perfect bar to relax and talk with friends. No loud bands, a jukebox that doesn’t get too loud, friendly bartenders, and over 100 beers to choose from. The perfect spot for a TVgasm happy hour.
The evening got off to a rocky start with me showing up late and meeting Lizardqueen all by herself and ready to leave thinking everyone else chickened out. Lizardqueen is a lot like Bill Bixby. You don’t want to make her angry. Yep. Lizardqueen is like a funny, smart, young, smoking hot female Bill Bixby.
After we retired to our table with beers in hand me and LQ had some personal time together. What did we talk about? Sorry, some things that happened at the TVgasm happy hour, stay at the TVgasm happy hour.
Soon sg-dub ambled in the door after dropping off baby-dub with Mrs. dub. Not too long after that gina64 and Mulv joined us. Even though none of us knew what the other looked like you can tell who was there for the happy hour by the pensive “blind date” scared look on their face a they walked into the door. Can you blame them? They were meeting EdHill and sg-dub. Gods among men. Not just a couple of normal guys with normal jobs who just happen to write for a blog. Oh no. We are way more than that. And they knew it.
Conversations ranged from Mulv’s stalking of Conan O’Brien Not as creepy as it sounds. Actually a fairly innocuos and funny story), to sg-dubs annoyance at certain ct tax laws, to the raging butter face debate. Then we talked about bad TV (natch) the fact that most everyone at the table, man and woman, would do Angelina Jolie if given the chance. Then they asked about J-unit and B-side, what their like, how we came to be involved in the site. I told what I could (some thigns are still Top Secret). I was planning on calling B-side himself to have him say hi, but we never got around to it. We’ll save that for happy hour #2. Something to bring the ladies back. We talked and drank into the night. Since a few of us had to drive a long way to get there (well, a long way by CT standards) we cut the evening off at around 11 and me and LQ went back to my place for a nightcap and a makeout session. Or she left early for another party. I forget which.
What are Mulv, gina64 and Lizardqueen like? Pretty much what you expect the average TVgasm reader to be like. Smart, witty, attractive and engaging. Hopefully we’ll do it again soon.
Well that’s what happened. And I guarantee at least 80% of what I just wrote is mostly true.
