Tragically Hip

Thank You GORD DOWNIE!!!

Last night went to the Tragically Hip Concert... Soooo great. Not only was Gordie on his game, but so was MW. He decided that I had to see Gord up close, and not only pushed me to the front.. The very front but held me up so Gordie could see me. Only thing between me and Gord was a fence and a fat guy picking his teeth.

Now I might be wrong 'cause I was very ... well... you know... but I could have sworn Gord looked right at me. I'm going to pretend that in fact happened regarless so believe it.

Yeah Gord, MW and everyone else there who made it fun... ;-)

New York on a Whim

'Twist my rubber arm' I said as I load up the car, pack up the gang (AJP, LGS & TG) and hit the road to New York City!

We left at 4 am from TO... 8.5 Hours, 4 stops (due to AJP's bladder) a short train ride and Voila! NYC! Sun shinning, birds chirping, smiles all round. Friday afternoon in NYC ... what could be better?

2 days, 4 bars, David Blane in a Fishbowl & club sandwiches at for breakfast, that's what.

We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. The weather was extremely warm for May. Our accommodations were pretty good... no Ritz Carlton, but nice. We stayed at the New Yorker, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths in Central New York. First day we went to Time Square and had lunch and did some sight seeing. In the evening we went out to the popular Buddha Bar http://www.buddhabarnyc.com The place was incredible, high ceilings, huge space, $15 drinks. After Buddha Bar we went to Orchid, I don't remember much about it, we were in and out pretty quickly. Our night was not over of course without a visit to Lincoln Square to see David Blaine in his fishbowl. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=1913098&page=1 , and stopping at the Flame to have a chicken salad club sandwich lol.

Saturday AJP and I got up early (10 am) and walked south toward the water to take the Staten Island Ferry and see Miss. Liberty. The ride was nice, the scenery was great. Manhattan is such a little island and has so much in it to love. It was nice to look at it from a distance. Afterward we joined LGS and TG in Washington Square park to people watch. Once the sun began to set we headed back to the hotel to get ready for our night out.

Saturday night we went to this rock/80's bar that I can't remember the name of.
Afterwards LGS and I went to Lotus and let the boys go somewhere on their own ... http://www.worldsbestbars.com/city/new-york/lotus-new-york.htm .
The night was great! We all got home around 5 or 6 am but not before seeing David Blaine, ate and then crashed. The usual.

Sunday was a sad day, as we had to leave. We went to Pastis in the Meat packing district for brunch where we literally bumped into Lindsey Lohan. We then went for one last visit with David Blaine (this time he was awake), and slowly made our way back to the hotel to collect our things and leave. We (I) wanted to leave at 4:00 pm ish as I had a long drive ahead of me, but we didn't get out of the city until 5:00 and to the car until 6:00. The ride home was good.. TG & AJP slept almost the entire way, but LGS stayed up and chatted with me. Once we hit Niagara falls LGS fell asleep but TG woke up. So all and all my travel buddies were great. I didn't mind driving as long as not EVERYONE slept at the same time.

It was a brilliant weekend, I am so glad LGS suggested it. Thanks Babe.

Words of Wisdom

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

Year of Marisa

2006 the year of blogs.

I have had a 'secret' blog for the ladies for a little while now, and was encouraged to share the wealth and have a blog for the rest of you. I hope not to bore you with daily nothings, but I do intend to share moments that have been significant to me.

So here it is. It has started, Crazy's Chronicles... and I will begin with the most important day of my year :-) My birthday.

There were quite a few 'Funny' things that happened at my party this year... surprisingly not at all similar to last year.

I would love to remind you of last years antics but as any good host would say, you had to be there. Truth be told I don't remember much from that night.

But I digress... here are this years antics, some I was reminded of, some I have photos of and some are just hearsay ... if you have any other stories or pictures, that I may not have seen or forgotten, please let me know.

1) Greeting all my guests (who arrived after 10) with a tongue thrashing.

2) Reesa Fits in a Dryer... there is proof, Deanna took a picture.

3) Reesa walks out of the men’s room, followed by Fahel and Bernardi... I have no idea what was going on in there, I totally forgot, Kelly tells me this (not sure if she is a reliable source).

-- So I found out from Bernardi what happen in the men's room. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Enough said.

4) Reesa tries to undress a cop, ‘cause she thinks he’s a stripper, I remember this, and also have pictures to prove it. I spent 15 minutes trying to convince Toronto's Finest to get his cock out. Unfortunately he never did, but fortunately I didn't get arrested for harassing a cop, public drunkenness, and well other things. He was also nice enough to pose for the picture.

Lastly I want to pose the question:

Laundry Room or Den of Inequity?

Thanks to all of you who joined me in celebrating another year.
