muddgirl and boyfriend, bigmusic and girlfriend were in attendance (ah, I forgot "and girlfriend"s username!). Since no one else showed up, we drowned our sorrows and had random barflies make shoutouts for us.

It's brutally sad because it's so true...

I'll tell you where I was. I wasn't there, that's where.

I would've come, but I was otherwise engaged.

Random barfly shoutouts rulez. How would you approach people? Was the phrase "hi, we're from the internet" used?

I am a fool for not showing. I suck.

I also suck in the hardest way. I blame the two-day drinking binge prior.

I remember checking back in here to see if there had been a decision made on the Draughthouse or.... wherever else I suggested... and finding nothing.

I blame the collective action problem.

...although given that I suggested the place and I don't see a shoutout, suddenly I don't feel so bad!

My feelings would be more hurt if I had been less neglectful

I was all set to head out, and had a nearly catastrophic failure appear at work around 5pmish. I finally left around midnight. That day sucked.
