friendster saturday night

friendster is a strange thing sometimes. let's add up the different cool things that have happened to me as a result of friendster...1. i got my apartment in NY, 2. i got some hot summer lovin', 3. i found my web programmer that is helping me on my latest project, 4. i made a record nerd friend here that gave me some vinyl, a list of records stores all over the city and free tickets to the bugz in the attic show tomorrow, 5. got reacquainted with some old friends, and 6. made some new friends (duh). the last one was what happened on saturday night. i finally got to meet lisa who had written me on friendster because she had just moved to NY from LA. we started an email friendship...she had moved here in the summer so she was sharing all of her stories about the move, etc. then when i moved here, we were supposed to meet and it just didn't happen at first, but we finally met on saturday night. her friend mark from LA was in town that night, on tour with his band. she really wanted me to meet him when i was still in LA. so it was a good excuse to meet up...i could kill two birds with one stone.
met up with them at lucy's, a sort of divey bar in the east village. it's always kinda weird to meet people from the internet, not knowing what their personality will be like in real life and if you'll get along. but this was cool...lisa was a nice as nice could be. we chatted away. and her friend mark was a looker. i fucked up on that one, not meeting him earlier in LA. cool dude too...we bonded on a mutual love for oingo boingo. the whole group was super fun and it was nice to be out with a whole new crew. the funniest part of the evening was when one of them (we still don't know who exactly) stunk up the entire bar with a vicious indian food fart. hilarity ensued when the placing blame game began. still don't know who, but guessing was fun. love a group who can laugh at their own stench. my kind of people.
