UYE LL Edition: Fat Buddha

Somehow today its Saturday
Last time I thought about it, it was Thursday night, I was at Fat Buddha, a sake bomb in one hand a kimchee back in the other … whaaaaaaaat?
Thats how UYE LL turned out to be in 2013.
Waiting for more to come.
Waiting for you to show up.
Leo, many thanks. Beautiful people, great to see ya there.

thirsty thursday happy hour (s)… Unilocalers and liquor and throwback hip hop tunes followed by overplayed edm tracks… and more liquor… what could go wrong?
NOTHING. the answer is nothing.
’twas super fun.
except the part where leo left. and took abigail with him. leaving me with a bowl full of edamame and no one to help devour it (except mitch, who dipped it in spicy mayo– so that doesn’t count). thaaanks guise. we’re all crashing your next date.
being only my second Unilocal-​related event, i was still a little apprehensive going to meet a bunch of strangers and/​or peoples i’d only met once before. i’m an idiot. everyone was great. like, really great.
y’all better bring it in AC.
bring. it.
(clarification: «it» does not include inhibitions, clothes, dignity, ugly people, grumpypants, communicable diseases, etc.)
ps– super thanks to andrea (who will become and avid Unilocaler if nadia and i have our way with her) for the ride to penn. the rest of the trip home was lonely without you.

FINALLY, I’ve made it to the infamous LL Edition UYE.
THE GOOD: Attentive bartenders, an awesome group of Unilocalers (was definitely a pleasure meeting some of you for the first time and reuniting with those I needed to catch up with) and shots upon shots upon shots upon SHOTS. There is nothing more you need except more alcohol.
THE BAD: Most asked question of the night, «Where is your buddy Chris D.?» Know, that you were missed my friend. :-(
THE UGLY: Leo, you left early (which I completely understand). We should’ve crashed your dinner party.
Fat Buddha, best way to prep my liver for my company holiday party the next day. Special thanks to Ben L. For schlepping Sara S. and I over to BCD Tofu House for some late night eats.
Now I know when Leo is involved, #throwitup#yelpAC

Shots…
Martinis…
More shots…
More martinis…
More, more, more…
After that it’s a total bluuuuuuuuurrrrr.
I «kinda» remember eating edamame and fries, and them being freaking delish!
And teaching Andrea how to Unilocal.
And her driving me and Em to public transportation. (Thank you!!!)
Let’s do it again, you crazies!!!
(Was kinda awesome to catch up and talk to everyone since it was a small group.)
Thank you, Leo, for making this mess happen!

It’s always a mighty good time when there’s a nice balance of Unilocal elites, whiskey, shots, and I don’t need to pay for those shots.
Loved that I had a chance to rekindle with those whom* I haven’t seen for the longest and those whom I’ve never met.
Thanks Leo for organizing this event! Had an awesome good time.
