the really big shoe

My tongue is electric pink from this morning’s overdose on berry-flavored Tums. Binge-eating leftover ethnic food on a stomach full of vodka ended up not being a really super terrific great idea.

Who knew?

What was really super terrific great was the Tribe-tastic gathering for last night’s show.

Shiv was amazing, of course, and for most of her performance, I just had to sit back and grin at my deliciously talented new friend.

Bright Sweater Guy (Casey Shea) was also fairly fantastic and gave me the giggles over something I can’t even remember now. He had digits on his hand, I had a camera in mine and we laughed and laughed about….who really knows what. It’s all very foggy.

BDubs wrapped it up with some of my favorites and, as promised, sing-along-worthy covers. Singing along to Leavin’ on a Jet Plane, my head on Shiv’s knee, Krissa’s curly head on my shoulder and a scruffy-faced Biscuit within reach, I was pretty well contented. All cozy and happy and totally wishing there had been a campfire involved.

Then there was vodka.

I got my shoe stuck in a subway grate. I stole Jonathan’s celery. I learned I am a good sport and a lousy photographer. I told Jason that he looked like an artsy Eddie Munster. And I was on-the-floor shocked when a stranger friend of a friend whom I'd never met (better?) walked a gazillion blocks to see me home safely.

Really super terrific great night.

This feeling in my stomach that we shall henceforth refer to as, The Burning Like the Fires of Hell?

Not so much.

I would think that the berry flavored Tums would add to the stomach upset. Ewwww. Just the idea of mixing copious amounts of Vodka, Thai food and anything berry flavored completely grosses me out.

how is it safe to have a total stranger walk you home?
