Sorry I didn’t make it, guys. I saw a truly awful bit of theater and it made me angry and headachey. I hope you all had fun and I’ll try to catch you next time. ---

And a great time was had by all! Thanks to everyone who made it, I had a great time and felt really welcome. I hope people had as good a time as me, although **olivesmarch4th** owes me a hug, dagnabbit (I had to settle for waving through the subway turnstile like a cast member from _Schindler’s List_ or something). ---

I had a great time! I got chocolate cheesecake and I saw a Ouija board designed for little girls…what could be better than that? ---

Yeah, sorry I couldn’t make it either… I play keyboard for an Off-Broadway show and we don’t get out until 10. Hopefully it wasn’t the show **Rachael Rage** saw, haha! Well I’ll try to catch the next one. 🙂 ---

> [@olivesmarch4th](#): > > Okay, that was the funnest time ever! > > So worth riding the train home with all the drunks. _Sounding like a zombie_ Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug! 😃 Your husband was so cute by the way, I just wanted to cuddle him. He’s got to be Jewish though somewhere along his ancestry. If he ever gets tired of grad school he could make a tidy living playing the on-call “we need a Jewish guy” actor. Like Ben Stiller, but less shit. ---

It will be much fun and we can totally take a picture of **Zebra** in front of the zebras at the AMNH. ---
