There's nothing like a hard day at work followed by a trip to the therapist to put you in a less than expansive mood. But damnit, I wanted to go show my support for the Electronic Frontier Foundation for their 16th anniversary party at 111 Minna. So I tucked into some of my favorite smoked ham next door at Henry's Hunan, which is spicy enough to restore life to the recently deceased, and sucked it up.
My spirits were buoyed when I heard Eric B. and Rakim being spun by the DJ. Jason Schultz was working the door, and I relayed some best wishes on behalf of my cousin Victor in Germany, who's a fan. I secured a spot next to some wall outlets and cracked my laptop, and was joined by Liz Henry. We agreed that any event where you weren't embarrassed to indulge in a little casual web browsing among friends was a good one. Ain't no party like a nerdcore party, 'cuz a nerdcore party don't stop!
Still feeling a little less than 'with it,' I decided to make one pass around the room before I left. I was rewarded with a hug from Violet Blue, who was sharing a table with Phillip Torrone, making for two geek heroes in one fell swoop. It only got bloggier as Eran Globen stylishly sauntered up, followed by Ted Rheingold and Molly Ditmore. I was happy to report to Molly that I'd finally gotten around to posting her comedic star turn with Irina Slutsky to the work blog.
By that time the place was packed, so as Scott Beale was publicly handing a check to Kurt Opsahl, I shouted a birthday hurrah and slipped out early, confident that the seven dollars left in my wallet which I donated was going to as good a cause as any.
