Done With Parties…For Now

            While I am trying to write out my past week of events and adventures, it is a little hard to do with the Xbox E3 conference playing in the back ground.  But I will try to type and listen at the same time.  Can you believe how shiny those horses were on Metal Gear Solid game play?

            Let me get all the SIFF movies and parties out of the way.  First up is the Gay-la; this was suppose to be the “wilder” parties but my man and I found it relatively tame.  The film that night was G.B.F (also known as gay best friend) and it was ok, a very predictable movie but still entertaining.  The after party was at a night club and when we arrived all the food was pretty much gone (thanks food hoarders) and people were acting like wall flowers and not dancing.  Well we showed them and dance for a while and left. 

            The last Saturday party was for “industry” people. The film prior to the party event was horrible.  I would highly recommend avoid seeing Drinking Buddies.  No plot, no sound mixing or any real audio clean-up, and flat characters that you don’t care about.  The party was ok, still full of people there for food, not a whole lot of industry people that I meet.  Just students looking for inspiration and hope but I know that a lot of them will not make it.

            The closing night gala was wonderful.  The film was ok, The Bling Ring, but needed to develop the characters more.  It was held at the Cinerama where I had chocolate popcorn for the first time, and oh god it is good!  The after party was at the MOHI (museum of history and industry), the layout was perfect.  Plenty of drink stations, a lot of servers walking around with a variety of food, along one wall was dedicated to just food, and there was space for a dance floor.  The best part was the ability to walk around the entire museum; it made me feel like I was at a high end party in this setting.

            SIFF was great and I will be back next year; don’t know yet if I will get the party pass of not though.  Also this past week I bought a beautiful green wiggle dress for a supper secret photo shoot with a friend of mine, stay tuned for more info and pictures later.  Be sure to follow me on twitter for what’s happening in my life.

Bitchin’ Fridays: Food Hoarders

             

            I have been enjoying myself these past couple of week at the SIFF parties.  The films have been decent and entertaining and the same with the after parties.  The alcohol is plentiful but the food at time appears to be scarce if you show up late to the parties.  They still bring food out but it is still not enough and I know the reason why.

            Food hoarders are those type of people who will take there plate and pile on 10 pieces of food onto there plates.  This may seem like an exaggeration but I have seen it at these parties.   There is a line of people waiting to grab a little Hors d'oeuvre and the person a head of you in line take the last one even though they have 3 of the same item on there plate. 

            Over all it is plain rude to fellow guests.  Rule of thumb should always be no more than two of each item.  If you like a particular item then you can get back inline for more.  Just remember to be considerate and this isn’t an all you can eat buffet.

            This is the last weekend of SIFF parties and the festival, I am unsure if I am going to do a Party blog for next week.  I have a little project coming up with a friend of mine so stay tuned for more information on that.  See you all on Monday.

See you on the other side.

Good Food Keeps On Coming

            Happy Monday to everyone, I have been desperately trying to avoid all the Game of Thrones spoilers from last nights show.  If you want to ruin it for me be prepared for a word lash to the likes of which you have never read!  On that note let me sum up my past week for you.

            I have been trying to get use to having long finger nails but I am afraid I am not that kind of girl and will need to cut them soon for my sanity and typing sake.  Tuesday my parents came over to visit man and I.  They game my man his late birthday present it was a waffle iron.  We went to Pikes market and had a delicious lunch at Matt’s in the Market.  The food is good but a tad bit over priced, cocktails was a little bit skimpy, and seemed like a place hipsters would hang out.  After our lunch my parents were kind enough to buy us meat and vegetables.  It was a nice afternoon visit and my dad brought me a hat fro Peru!  I will have to post a pic of it soon!

            Wednesday instead of going to my usual film & music happy hour, I went on a double date with my man and his coworker.  We had a lovely time and ate at Peso’s Kitchen, the food and drinks were decent and happy hour menu was large and not that pricy.  It was nice to hang out with people on a one on one and enjoy some drinks and conversation.

            Saturday was the Centerfold Gala for SIFF; the film was Twenty Feet from Stardom.  It is a documentary about backup singers from the early 60’s to today.  A couple of the ladies, Tata Vega and Merry Clayton, from the film were there and even sang for us after the film.  The after party was at a large house up in Capitol Hill.  It was a good party aside from the lack of food (mainly due to people piling up a huge mound on their plate I will be ranting about this on Friday) and some ass trying to dump there mother on my man and I so she could leave the party.  I’m sorry rude daughter, but I am not a sitter if I was I would be charging you an arm and a leg for it. 

            This week it the last week of SIFF parties.  I have the Gay-la on Wednesday, Saturday is a film maker party and film event, and Sunday is the Closing night gala.  Let us see just how well I can type on Monday.  Be sure to follow me on twitter for more up to date events and happening in my life.
