I Should Be Sleeping Right Now

Last night, Nicole, Lori, and I attended the Media Bistro/Blogging.la party at Bar Lubitsch. I was excited to finally check out the place, as I’d heard so many rave reviews of it, and it’s close to my apartment. The bar was really cool, had lots of seating, and a huge room in the back. I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Because the place was so damn crowded (and loud), it was hard to walk around a lot, but I did get a chance to talk (or scream) with people I already knew–Marissa, Esther (yep, she’s in town!), Melanie, Joel, and Jay (whom I haven’t seen in forever and a half.) I also met some people I felt like I already knew–Will and Nina. And, I was beyond excited to meet two bloggers I just adore–Lesley of Eater LA and Jessica of Ultratart. I also met a few Media Bistro and LAist people as well. (Sorry, I’m horrible with names.)

After a few rounds, we decided it was time to put something in our bellies so we headed over to The Village Idiot for dinner and more drinks (seriously, I’m paying the price today). Thanks to Nicole knowing the sous chef from way back when, we also enjoyed some amazing desserts–a pear crisp (?) with vanilla ice cream and an enormous chocolate chip cookie with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yum!

I do believe a fun night was had by all.

I feel like I didn’t get to say a proper good-bye at the time, but needless to say, it was lovely to meet you guys!

hey hilary. good to see you too. I also didn’t get to say goodbye but we were some of the last people to leave. we thought by 10:30 on a tuesday it would be easy to get a table at mozza. we STILL have to wait 15 min. anyway, let’s do it again sometime - maybe with fewer people.

I know! I barely got to say hello or goodbye to anyone…that place was packed! But it was fun!

Fun indeed. I didn’t realize that the Melanie we met was the Daily Guilt Melanie. She is who inspired my 101 things, so I would have liked to have said thank you.

In any case, paying for it today is an understatement but I think it was worth it. It was nice to put names to faces even though I don’t remember many of them either :).

Great to meet you, too! What a fun party, but yes, elbow to elbow. I feel like I was whipping around, leaving too many conversations hanging. Thanks for the shout out.

I had a great time, but am, unfortunately, paying for it today. How is it possible that my french fries and huge cookie sundae didn’t soak up the bulk of my alcohol?

Oh, I meant to say last night - thank you for mentioning the Idiot, it has quickly turned into one of Mr. Boy and my favorites.

And another one for the hungover column. Ack.

Everyone I ‘know’ went to this thing. Too bad I don’t leave the house.
