So Tired I Am Not Even Inserting Links

I am so tired that it really goes beyond words. Since I’ve gotten to Karlifornia, I’ve had much lower than the Daily Recommended Allowance of Sleep. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been having fun. I just have nothing to give in a post. Yet here I go to attempt to do the last several days some justice.

Pea Soup Anderson\'s

Never mind. It’s going to be mostly pictures. I’ll write something more rational in a couple of days. This was Pea Soup Andersen’s, which Hilly and I stopped at on the long drive to the Bay Area.

Look at me!

That’s me: Hap-Pea.

Pea Soup Andersen\'s

One of the waitresses, by the way? Very, very cute.

Some of my adoring fans

Some of my adoring fans on the way up.

Othurme and Snackiepoo

Right, so we got up to Jester’s house around 3 or so on Thursday. Then a bunch of us went out to this place in Berkeley called Fondue Freds. There’s Jerry and Snackie.

The gang\'s all here at Fondue Freds!

There’s Michael, Paul, Hilly, Jerry, and Ruben.

The Birthday Girls

These were the birthday girls sitting at the next table from us.

Suebob and Karl

Then we drove to San Francisco and went to the People’s Party at BlogHer. Where I was pretty much instantly terrified. Normally, on Thursday night it’s a more mellow scene because the Masses haven’t arrived yet. Not any more.

Mob central. And I wasn’t in a very good state of mind. But I still ran across a number of people like Suebob!

Kristen and Karl - could she BE any hotter?

And Kristen of Motherhood Uncensored. Grrrrrowl. This woman is just more and more gorgeous every time I see her. If she ever decides to leave her husband, I’m on her like white on rice.

The People\'s Party Thursday Night

There they were, sitting around at the People’s Party with our $8 beers because we got there too late to get drink tickets.

Monty and Karl

One of Monty’s and my many making out sessions during the weekend.

Karl at Sesame Street

Me at Sesame Street. It was pretty cool. They had Grover and the guy who does the puppetry/voice there, filming videos and stuff. And what’s her name? Abby Dabby? I’m not down with the new characters on SS these days.

Same scene, different lighting

So I pretty much left early every night at BlogHer. Didn’t go to the evening parties. Friday I left after a few sessions and went with the Gay Mafia to go to one of Jester’s gigs at some yacht club. But we didn’t stay long because Hilly was feeling sick.

Gorgeous Bridge Scene

Uncle Monkey Boy and Jester

There’s Uncle Monkey Boy and Jester, sitting outside after sound check.

Hilly and Jester, who was sad we weren\'t staying for the gig

There’s Hilly, trying to make it up to Paul that we were leaving early.

Michelin Man and Karl

There’s me and The Michelin Man at BlogHer.

Karl and Wendy. I could just pick her up and eat her.

This is yet another woman whose husband I want to knock off so I have a shot. Wendy, by the way.

The G Man and Karl

Gman and me.

Hilly and Foo

Hilly and Foo. Grrrowwwwl again.

Yeah, you really don\'t want to know

This…well. Yeah. What can I say?

The menagerie

You don’t go to Jester’s house unless you like animals. And when I say “like animals” I mean you should be prepared for an onslaught unseen since Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. Dogs, cats, birds, snakes, I think he had a chinchilla in there, too, maybe even a naked molerat or two.

Paul

Rock Band with Jerry, Hilly, and Mikey

There was MUCH alcohol and Rock Band.

Rubbin

Jester playing drums

So yeah, Hilly and I are back home now. It’s not even 9:00 and we’re both dragging. After drinking every night to excess (though not to WJP excess) and sleeping NOT to excess and eating far too much food and going back and forth to San Francisco for BlogHer by day and Fairfield by night, and then driving ANOTHER 8 hours in the car today…we’re beat.

I’m too lazy to even insert the proper links. I’ll get to it later. Or not. So sue me. I’m going to bed.

    The exhaustion you get from having fun is the best kind of tired to be! It looks like you had sooo much fun!

    I totally miss making out with you. Plus also, it made all my friends jealous.
    So, bonus.

    OK…someone on Twitter suggested I find you after my Friday morning freak out, and while I was in the Introverts session … and so I started to follow you on twitter and immediately fell in love with your wit. I am now kicking myself for not freaking you out by running up to you and introducing myself.

    Winter – had a great time!

    aka Monty – Made all your friends jealous? Wow. Miss you, too.

    Iron Fist – fortunately, most of them you already know.

    Avitable – I know, right?

    Dragon – You didn’t get your invitation?

    Crys – why thank you!

    NYCWD – She is totally hot. I rubbed up a little bit.

    Hot chicks at The Westin, Rock Band, alcohol and lots of pics to prove Karl was at BlogHer. Sounds like a fun time was had by all.

    Dan – Well, you could have had it done this past weekend. Grover was all up in everyone’s grill.

    Ali – I don’t know! Apparently I missed lots of people.

    Evil Genius – Loads and loads of fun.

    Martymankins – Had to get photographic evidence, of course.

    Better to be exhausted and had fun than to be hyped up and bored!
    Or something. i don’t know – I’ve been drinking!
    Anyway, I like the pictures! Glad you had fun!

    Cheesy – Grover was awesome.

    Sybil – I was both exhausted and hyped. Wouldn’t have thought that possible, but it is.
