Elite Event @ Crimson C

wow. could this event have been any cooler? i believe the answer is no. i don’t know what you’re going to do michelle, this is going to be a hard one to top!
the martinis were awesom and the rep for ketel one was very engaging. Not to mention all the hottie mc hots Unilocalers!
it was a big bummer that i got there so late. so sad… damn accouting. i’ll accost you!!!
décor of crimson c was very nice. loved the deep… wait for it… crimson red. :) would def. go there again to partay.

This was the best! I haven’t had this much to drink in a long time! You all rock!
Okay, okay I wasn’t here. But I’ve been to them before and I like fitting in so viola! 5 star Unilocal,baby!

As I was lying in bed wondering how I could tell that the room was spinning even though my eyes were closed, it occurred to me that maybe my skill of looking sober (and continuing to be served) even when I’m half smashed is more of a liability than an asset. In hindsight, 7 martinis in 2 hours with a beer chaser was probably overdoing it. I guess knowing I only had to stumble two blocks to the bus stop made me feel invincible, but today my liver would beg to differ.
Anyway, the event was awesome. Thanks Michelle! Crimson C is not my favorite sort of place, but a free Ketel One ice bar makes just about any place 5-​star.

Scent of a hangover breakfast this morning… eggs, bacon, & potatoes from my cubicle…
Coworker on the other side: «Did Sarah go boozin’ last night?»
Me: «lol, how’d you know?»
Coworker: «takes one to know one…»
My first Elite Event and it rocked my socks!
I was ecstatic to meet some of you all in person! Esp. Michelle B! Thank you for all your hard work!
–Dirty martinis done did it
–Staff was friendly, esp. with a long line of thirsty Unilocalers
–I snagged some POP ROCKS!
–Packed house at Crimson C
–awesome new hoodie
–my +1 was amazed at the turnout of Unilocalers–
–love my Unilocal network!

Okay. Who stole my hairspray? WHO!!! I WANT NAMES.
And furthermore, does anyone else wonder why we even had drink tickets?!
Thanks, Michelle.
Big UPS, Ketel One!
And a shout out to you, Baby Jesus, for Aleve LiquiGels.

I have GOT to get me one of those 4′ tall Ketel One bottles made of ice.
Crimson C already knows I love them, so all that’s left to say is that I love you Unilocalers. Except Dan. Wear some pants, buddy!

All I have to say is WOW.
Ok, I have a lot more to say than that, but that’s where I’ll start.
This event ROCKED! Thank you Michelle, you truly pulled a good one here, almost made me forget about the April one. i mean, what? ;)
The dirty martini’s were definitely very, very dirty!
Alex the doorman at the Crimson was a riot, very fun.
Shout outs to all the new faces, the virgins, the first timers, the +1’s, the «not dates» and everyone in between! So great to meet and greet and have a great time with ya’ll!
This event topped them all for me, because it brought so much together!
Middle of the dance floor «party bus reunion», the DJ rockin’ the MJ and Prince bringing back the great memories of my very first event ever – the Prince V Michael Jackson dance party. and a reunion of those folks on the floor too!
My mind races with all I could say and all that happened!
The ice sculptures were very cool, and watching their destruction was awesome too!
My only regret is I somehow missed Veronica~! =(
good times! 2^nd only to party bus as my favorite event, ever!

I hate my alarm!
Zipzap Zubidy Bop!

P. S. Second Elite event in a row that I couldn’t help but make a visit to the boys room. It looked nice.

OUCHMYFEKKINHEAD
Thanks again to Miss Michelle and the Crimson C for the great party. It really is a shame that the platform underneath the magic Ketel One martini machine was too small to fit my head into. Otherwise I would have camped out there and let the nectar funnel directly into my pie hole.

I love you fucking people.
KISSES!!!

(To be updated when this writer’s block leaves me.)

Last night held multiple experiences that further convinced me what a moron I am. I thought I’d illustrate that here in honor of my 200^th review:
1) When the nice Unilocal folks at the front sign you in and hand you tickets and tell you that those are for the Vodka Bar, but the regular bar is a cash only bar, they mean the bar won’t accept tickets, but will accept cash, credit cards, etc. NOT that the bar is a CASH only bar. The walk across the square to the ATM to get cash was refreshing though. Sorry for confusing you on that one Sean.
2) Those were ice? Dear god why am I so dumb. I thought they were plastic.
3) Silverware can be found in the wrapped napkins, like any restaurant. There’s no need to eat phad tai and rice with your fingers.
4) Mixing a Citroen martini with a Cosmo results in a really lemony, really strong martini. Mixing it in a cup that is big enough to hold TWO drinks works much better than a cup big enough for only ONE. Basic fucking physics.
5) Betsey is not Jesse. Jesse is not Betsey.
6) Dave is not ‘Jason.’ Stop trying to make Dave be ‘Jason.’ It’s driving Dave crazy.
7) Put your drink down if you’re going to tell stories and gesture wildly. It’s much easier to drink your drink out of a cup, not licking it off your fingers. Especially if there are people nearby with awesome clothing they don’t want your drink splashed on.
8) Figure out how to say hello to everyone and limit your conversations with people down from like half an hour to like 4 minutes so that you don’t wind up having only spoken to eight people all night when there were like 80 you wanted to talk to.
9) Drawing stick figures on a napkin does not equal drawing someone’s portrait.
Nevertheless, I had an awesome time.

How the hell did I get out of bed this morning??? Am I really at work?
Ice Bar = Fantastic.
Self serve garnishes = I had green olives for dinner. Brilliant.
Trying to find the bus stop to get our drunk asses home, missing the bus, then trekking back to Mediterranean Kitchen to eat a REAL dinner = one of the highlights of the night! Shout out to Matt R. for being brave enough to join us on above bus adventure!
Edit: We actually went to the Mediterranean Mix… not the Kitchen. I guess I had one too many free martinis.

All Michelle’s events are awesome but this one takes the cake. It’s been the funest, awesomest, coolest, bestest Unilocal event in a long time!
Thursday:
10:30 AM — I am still 2 parts euphoric and 1 part sick.
1:00 PM — I am 1 part euphoric, 1 part sick and 2 parts dizzy.
2:30 PM — No euphoria, just pain and throbbing.
4:00 PM — nine, one, one…
Friday:
When’s the next event?

This event was awesome. Great people and great drinks too!
The Ice Bar was cool and I loved the apple-​tinis (did I just admit that, slaps himself). It was nice meeting all the Unilocalers and there plus 1s, everyone was so friendly. I have to admit I was a bit nervous about going alone but once I got there and started talking to people I felt quite comfortable. Thank you Betsy K. for being my first victim and letting me tag along with you till I got some courage to mingle.
What a great event and I will be looking forward to the next one. :)

To be updated when I’ve come down off the high of the party ;)

Holy crap look at all these Unilocalers!!!
Omg I am over whelmed with excitement! And omg is this a line for the freaking free kettle one martini’s? omg ice sculpture!!!
Omg is that. insert name here. I must say hello and introduce myself! Everyone was so nice and it was the best elite event ever!!!
The ice bar are you kidding me!!! So awesome!!! Maia i agree i need this at my wedding!!!

2 words:
ICE BAR
Venue = Excellent
*Very comfortable, elegant and comfy bench type booths.
*Lovely lighting which sets a great mood and contributes to the vibe.
*Wait staff were on it, aside from it being overfilled with Unilocalers!
Did I say Ice Bar?
The long line forming down the center of the place was a great touch as I got to see all the peeps while sitting (and sipping on my martini’s)!
My +1 wants to be a Unilocaler… yeah, she dug it.
Cool digs, great drinks, EFFING AWESOME PEOPLE.
This is almost my favorite event yet!

+1,000,000,000 awesome points for being right next to Mediterranean Mix. I had a falafel sandwich before and thank God I did because otherwise I may have been incoherent. Well, a bit more incoherent than normal, I guess. Great meeting those of you I haven’t before.
Godzilla was playing on all of the TVs. The booze was free flowing and pretty potent. My cheap but nevertheless awesome self was in awe and in love with the spectacle of the ice bottles. I think I put $ 1 in both of the tip jars of the vodka pouring people. Hey, I needed to make sure I had bus fare (it’s always good to have a decent excuse for being cheap)!
Praise Jebus for the Seattle bus system. If not for Route #358, me, Trevor & Jessie would be sleeping on the streets right now, doing whatever we need to do to survive.
Big ups, Michelle B and Crimson C.
Finally, I have also come to a decision: I’m spending my $ 600 IRS money on an Kettle One Vodka ice bottle. Please join me in drinking from it*.
*Said event may take place in my imagination as I do have other uses for the $ 600 that are more practical. Still, all are welcome to imagine it with me! Someone once told me, if you imagine it hard enough, it will come true! I’m pretty sure they were high at the time, but it’s worth a shot.

I just got up. That is all.
More later when I can think straight.
