So, yes, I introduced myself to Kleinheider’s boss as Kleinheider’s wife. I also rubbed Kleinheider’s phone–no his real phone, not his "phone"–on my cleavage, just to embarrass him. And then, I twice flashed the old boob freckle at him just to watch him blush.
That alone pretty much made it the most fun I’ve had in ages. But I also got to meet loads of other cool people. My blogtonic* crush on Bob Krumm continues unabated. I lived my dream of finally seeing Jon Jackson and Sarcastro talking. I realized that I’m kind of star struck around SistaSmiff. I don’t know why, but I was shaking every time she talked to me. I wasn’t nervous around anyone else. But shoot. I think it’s her cute hair. I hooted at Coble as she walked down Broadway and everyone on the street turned to see if she was a famous star. Little do they know.
I met Gandalph Mantooth and totally went all fangirl** on him, but he was polite enough to pretend he didn’t notice. Fritz wants me to show him around a real cooter so that he can put it up on his new and improved website. I extolled the cuteness of Smiley to Huck. And I met Newscoma, who is just so damn cool, you don’t even know. Also, I talked a lot to Short and Fat who, once I get my Nashville Blog Theater*** up and going, will be playing Major Nelson in my I Dream of Jeannie revival. Brittney, of course, will play Jeannie.
Amanda did not fight anyone, but she did make Nemesis Boy leave in a huff, so score one for the most famous non-blogger in the Nashville Blogosphere. Abramson was also there and he kind of hunkered over the bar like some world-weary guy who will eventually end up with his own line of Ethan Allen furniture.
Whew, I’m probably leaving out three fourths of everyone who was there, but what can you do? I’m tired from all the Kleinheider-harrassing I did all evening and I must retire to my comfy bed.
*Even less serious than a platonic crush, just a little "Hey, it’s that cutie Bob Krumm" feeling whenever I see him.
**"I have this friend–Elias–who should totally read your blog." Once you start telling folks about the folks you know who are cooler than you so that those folks will continue to like you, you are in fangirl mode.
***No, you haven’t heard anything about this because I just decided right now to start it. My first production will be Sarcastro doing a one-man musical rendition of Moby Dick.
My only disappointment about the festive occasion was not being able to spend more time chatting with you!
I’m in.http://mobydickthemusical.com/story/00.htm
Damn it. Missed another one. Sigh. Next time!

You, my dear, created cool.
I missed Gandalf Mantooth!!! Dang. That is one of the best blogger names ever.What a fun time!!! Next time…bring Mrs. Wigglebottom.
Oh and that Kleizenschnitzel Dude is hawt!
Actually, SistaSmiff, you didn’t miss me. It’s just that I was introduced to you as my PITW alter-ego.B, twas a pleasure.
Good to see you again, B. Now write something short.
I missed Jon Jackson! I saw him in Rex H’s pix. I’m so pissed. I may just go on a "Crap and Drivelish" rant.Nah, I could never do him justice."Shane! Come back, Shane!"CeeElCee stands in the foreground as Jon Jackson disappears into the horizon to go not blog somewhere…
Jon Jackson was amazingly cool, CLC.
Thanks, NC. That makes me feel a whole lot better.Crap. Crap. Crap. (and drivel)
I almost got kicked out of an Ethan Allen store once. I’m not making this up.
I would lay odds that neither Hemingway or Bogart would have lasted long in an Ethan Allen store either.
I missed getting to meet you (I’ve been reading without doing much commenting for a while now), but I’m holding out hope for next time.
I feel like I owe you a tip for getting to watch the whole phone-on-a-freckle bit from afar. Brilliant.Keep them on their toes.Maybe next time we can discuss crazy canines.
