The Scene Team et al.
We’ve posted a gallery for the first Scene Wednesdays @ Winstons. Adrian Sidney was in attendance to record all the action, and we should have at last one more gallery going up at some point, which I’ll link here.
First of all, apologies to anyone who showed up before 10 p.m. thinking that the bar would be open. I was given erroneous information which I then passed on to you, the user. But you guys are probably cooler than me — who showed up at 9:30, which is totes lame — so, you know. But anyhow, I corrected the info on the event page.
One more correction, the DJ was/is DJ Mr. Best (or DJ Mister Best … or DJ Mi$ter Be$t), not DJ Best. While trying to track down a website or MySpace page for him, I commented to a few people how “DJ Best” has the least google-able DJ name ever. Makes a lot more sense now. Anyhow, here’s the website for DJ Mr. Best.
For my part, I had a blast. Some friends I invited showed up right away, so I had people to chill with while waiting for the rest of The Scene team, who showed up at a more fashionable hour. Shout out to Sabrina’s dad for the bottle of Goose. It was put to good use. By the time we got it, I didn’t need it, if you follow me. I was already a bit TOO loose. (Speaking of, apologies to the bartender. All the drinks on my tab were legit. Sorry for yelling.)
Also, normally I’m not one to geek out over celebrity sightings, but at the table next to us I noticed a generously coiffed gentleman with artfully arranged facial hair and a leather vest. I’ll admit, I clowned a little bit, commenting that he looked like he just got back from the caveman gym.
But then I got the pictures back …
Ladies and gentlemen, Matador from VH1′s The Pick Up Artist!
Kino escalation, yo!
He’s the one who’s got some lucky girl in a headlock. If you’ve never experienced The Pickup Artist, I suggest you make things right. It is a seriously amazing show. So Matador, if you’re out there, I’m sorry I clowned on your vest. Blame it on the Goose …
