The other night, I made a startling personal discovery.
I like girls.
Actually, Krissa and I discovered that we both like girls. Blogger girls. And so we’ve been scheming. If you’re female, a blogger, and inclined in any way to come sip cosmos and bond with your sisters in the blogosphere, please express interest below. Details will follow.
Pinky swear.
Posted by This Fish at July 12, 2004 02:29 PMI like girls, but I've been on a mojito kick.
Posted by: jen at July 12, 2004 02:31 PMI'm too far away, sadly...in Boston, not NYC - but I like both of you girls!
Posted by: Erin at July 12, 2004 02:35 PMoh, jen, silly woman, you can HAVE mojitos.
Posted by: k at July 12, 2004 02:37 PMTwist my alcoholic arm. Love it.
Posted by: StephanieKlein at July 12, 2004 02:39 PMIn!!
Posted by: Ari at July 12, 2004 02:52 PMOh so jealous! Make a toast to all us distant girls in absentia.
Posted by: petitchou at July 12, 2004 02:56 PMof course i'm in!
Posted by: dahl at July 12, 2004 03:08 PMHmm. I spend a good deal of time talking to Krissa and Fish at the BABB. The subsequently decide that they prefer bloggers of the female persuasion. This might give a boy a complex.
Posted by: mrw at July 12, 2004 03:31 PMNo-no .. its ok. They need time to scheme and plot -- plot and scheme. Us guys will meet up somewhere and ... you know ... umm. Guy things will occur. Beer, that we've made ourselves in our basements, and then bodily gases of various densities and timbres will be expelled.
... and no Cosmos will be had ... only home brewed beer .. and perhaps some tequila shots.
There might be a piñata as well.
.. and it will be filled with snub nosed pistols and rottweilers.
Posted by: David Utah at July 12, 2004 04:00 PMGoddamn the whole midwest for seperating California from New York. I'll drink cosmos from home and read about it later.
Posted by: jennn at July 12, 2004 04:01 PMI'm in Australia and it's 5.18am and I am putting forward a very convincing argument to the man who s currently sharing my bed that he should put me on a plane to New York City as soon as possible. Then maybe we can all get some sleep. It's no secret that I like blogging girls. So far he has said No. I am in no doubt whatsoever that I can change his mind. I think it is just what I need. Yes I do. Pinky swear.
Posted by: Bella at July 12, 2004 04:02 PMoh... absolutely! I will be there with bells on... and with belles on (as I mentioned at hiboux-land!)
Posted by: Daniella at July 12, 2004 04:23 PMGirl time? Talkin' trash 'bout men, I 'spect.
Posted by: Michael at July 12, 2004 04:24 PMMy whole life seems to be girl time. But that doesn't mean I'm not interested...looking forward to details.
Posted by: Esther at July 12, 2004 04:38 PMOh alright ;)
Posted by: Big City Gal Pal at July 12, 2004 04:40 PMLet us know when it is, and my Oregon blogging sisters and I will drink cosmos in your honor here, in Pacific Standard Time.
Posted by: angelix at July 12, 2004 04:52 PMAw, man...I'm a little too far away, but count me in for virtual cosmos. Cheers! :)
Posted by: Erin at July 12, 2004 05:07 PMcool!
Posted by: Sally at July 12, 2004 05:14 PMwhatever 'virtual' fun i can have with you delicious girls is mine for the taking from my sad little spot of land in los angeles.
i just reserve the right to sip in person (as dahl, miss fish, deb and ari can attest to) when geography allows.
cheers!
(p.s., fish, i think everyday i put on my to-do list "email or IM fish" and, well, you know how that works out for me...)
I'd so be there (mmm cosmos!), only I live, oh, 3000 miles from you kids.
Sad, sad.
Posted by: Anne at July 12, 2004 05:46 PMSoooo very jealous. Alas I wont be in your neck of the woods till June 05. But knock a couple back for me.
Posted by: moxielady at July 12, 2004 05:54 PMI too, am far too far away, but will be there in my heart.
:)
Posted by: Jen at July 12, 2004 06:01 PMGeography prohibits an ACTUAL date with cosmos and such, but rest assured that if I was anywhere near NYC...well. You know.
-Meredith
Posted by: Meredith at July 12, 2004 06:42 PMI love cosmos and blogger girls, and I'd certainly be there if it wouldn't involve planes and an ocean at some point. I'm all the way in the Netherlands, Europe...
Posted by: Kyren at July 12, 2004 06:54 PMLong-time reader, and fan. Reading this and thinking, "That's one helluva great idea." Wish I could be there to meet some of the many, many amazing women bloggers.
If I show you my ID, can I tip my glass to the computer on the day?
Posted by: Jennifer at July 12, 2004 07:19 PMCosmos and a girls night out. Sounds great to me. Too bad I'm so far away. How about I sip some Parrot Bay and pineapple juice in your honor instead?
Posted by: Agategoddess at July 12, 2004 07:34 PMI shall toast ya'll from the sunshine state :)
Posted by: mingaling at July 12, 2004 07:36 PMoh yeah, i'm way too far away. it's that midwest separation between the right and left coasts...although i've been toying with the idea of visiting east of pennsylvania recently.
have fun and enjoy those cosmos!!!!! =)
Posted by: mickey g at July 12, 2004 08:05 PMi like girls. you'll have to make a special new york toast (mojito, please) to julia in california. sad times.
Posted by: julia at July 12, 2004 08:30 PMWill keep the Cosmos cold here near the Nation's Capital...with you in spirit - count me virtually in.
Ditto Meredith, and I'm the damn Midwest.
Posted by: Steph at July 12, 2004 09:03 PMAlso here in L.A.! But moving closer (Austin) around that time. Too bad I can't make it all the way to NYC. Have fun! I'll put a lampshade on my head to salute you at the appropriate moment.
Posted by: stef at July 12, 2004 09:08 PMDamn it. I can't go either.
I knew being in ARizona would suck...ok, maybe not-but have fun.
If you're ever in Ohio, the cosmos are on me.
Posted by: LvL at July 12, 2004 10:24 PMToo many miles between me and New York, too many years between me and twenty-one.
What's a girl to do?
Posted by: Plish at July 12, 2004 10:40 PMYou know it!
Posted by: BOB at July 13, 2004 01:51 AMGreat site. You're fun to read and this night out sounds terrific. I love Chicago, but I'm sorry not to be in NYC for this.
Posted by: Linda at July 13, 2004 07:38 AMI love this site and girls who blog. Sadly, I am in Minneapolis...You know, we should do this in all of our respective cities.
Posted by: Lyz at July 13, 2004 08:49 AMI, like Erin, am too far away. I'm also in Boston, but have an extra drink for all those who wish they could attend but cannot.
Posted by: Azzy at July 13, 2004 09:19 AMI echo the sentiments of those of us too far away to partake. Darnit!!!
I tip my glass in absentia.
Posted by: akaellen at July 13, 2004 09:29 AMOMG, you're so right! The blogs I simply must read are all girl-blogs! Count me in - but should we be counterplotting against a possible panty raid?
Posted by: Joelle at July 13, 2004 09:44 AMI just started reading your blog about a week ago, but if you don't mind a stranger joining in on the fun, I'd love to do cosmos with you all. And I'm actually in NYC. well, Brooklyn, but we can't all be Manhattanites. :)
Posted by: Julie at July 13, 2004 10:41 AMCelebrating blogging girls with you virtually from Detroit, Michigan :)
Posted by: Harmony at July 13, 2004 10:54 AMGirl blogger convention w/ an open bar?
*extends arm in air* ooh ooh, pick me pick me!
Sincerely,
Ms. Koolaid in Ohio (but with vacation time and travel bug)
Do you really believe the boy bloggers of New York will leave you alone?
Posted by: michael at July 13, 2004 11:34 AMGuess you don't need a bicycle anymore!
Posted by: Jager at July 13, 2004 12:12 PMMy bank manager won't let me go to NYC..... but I'll drink a Cosmo (or something equally classy) and think about you.
Posted by: daisy at July 13, 2004 12:21 PMI read both your (Fish and Kriss) blogs and I like blogger girls, cosmos (and mojitos) and the blog culture in general (but have yet to get around to starting my own -- and I'm too busy keeping up with my bloggers!). Do I qualify?
Posted by: t at July 13, 2004 12:38 PMHMMM... I've been looking for another reason to go to NYC (I am dying to go see Wicked). A blogger girlfest MIGHT be the tippy straw that sends me over the edge. Do include me in the "interested possibilities"...even from way down here in Texas....
Posted by: Kim Wells at July 13, 2004 12:57 PMYay! Girlie blogging bonding time! I'm down. But I tend to favor pints over cosmos - but I'd be willing to make an exception for the lovely blogging girls of NYC...
Posted by: Caroline at July 13, 2004 01:05 PMAm I hallucentating or did you ask for "could attended" responses?!! I'm sure you love the midwest and out west gals but I wanna know who we will get an opportunity to booze it up with! Not who we won't :( - that just makes me sadder.
C'mon blogettes - where are the girls that can't say no??
Posted by: Ari at July 13, 2004 01:06 PMI'm in California, but I'll be there in spirit. Have a drink for me!
Posted by: Hilary at July 13, 2004 01:34 PMhahahha ari i'm glad you said it.
Posted by: k at July 13, 2004 02:12 PMI've never wished more that I had gotten that job with lifetime TV! Alas I'm stuck on the Left Coast - a little too far, but if you are ever in the area, drop me a line and I'll take you out for a night on the town in 'The City'. No, it's not the Big Apple, but San Fran does have it's own appeal.
Posted by: Shawn at July 13, 2004 02:23 PMsounds like fun ... count me in!
Posted by: victoria at July 13, 2004 03:18 PMI'll be the one stumbling around and telling everyone, drunkenly, that I know how to the American Sign Language for "The Greatest Love of All."
Jealous, jealous, jealous way up here in Canada. Would LOVE to, but gotta hold off on the NYC trips for the next little while, buy food & stuff instead.
Posted by: Shiz at July 13, 2004 04:09 PMI agree, the feminine side of the blogosphere is the one to read! Most of my links are to them. I will totally tip my drink from DC.
Posted by: PeeKay at July 13, 2004 04:54 PMi'm in, and in nyc (and a new reader to "this fish"). count me in
Posted by: alyssa ettinger at July 13, 2004 06:52 PMi'm in - and live in nyc... just found this today and think it's great. girl bloggers of the world - unite, cosmos and all.
Posted by: writersbloc gal at July 13, 2004 07:20 PMoh! oh! you don't even know me, but i actually might be in new york at the end of august. is that too late?
Posted by: Kat F. at July 13, 2004 09:00 PMDear GOD.
The place you hold this event is going to be OVERRUN.
Posted by: Stuart at July 14, 2004 05:52 AMThis blogging newbie and new friend o' fish is up for some girl hang time, if you'll have me. :)
Posted by: whirlygurly at July 14, 2004 08:53 AMIf only I weren't still living in Austin, Texas and broke, I would so be there! It sounds like one really great party. Have a couple of Petron shots for me.
Posted by: Catarina at July 14, 2004 11:21 AMIn the immortal words of Helen Keller, "Smoke me a kipper, skipper! I'll be back for breakfast."
(In other words, count me in.)
anna
Posted by: anna at July 14, 2004 08:34 PMOkay, I'm in. As long as it happens before school resumes - like before Aug 15th.
Posted by: Belle at July 14, 2004 10:54 PMIF only closer to Manhattan!
Dang.
Vancouver (Canada) is a bit of a drive.
