Bitchin’ Fridays: Shameless Self Promoting

             

            I have to admit I fall victim to this much like many of you other bloggers, artists, and horn blowers.  But I won’t nag on that today.  Instead I am going to promote my boyfriends new youtube channel and most importantly a segment that we are doing together. 

        

    The Show is called Couples Counseling and it is on his channel MagicalNegroGaming; it’s where we play co-op games and have lively discussions on our private life.  I’m just kidding, it’s where we just kill each other and see who will rage quiet first.   Go check it out and leave some comments and likes on the page.

you can watch the first episode here

            More SIFF action this weekend, and some more interaction with the parentals.  Come back Monday to see what went on this weekend.  Be sure to follow me on twitter for more updates.

See you on the other side.

Happy Memorial Day

            Happy Memorial Day everyone, hope you guys are having fun and safe this holiday weekend.  This past week was crazy as every with SIFF parties and movies.  Just wanted to keep it brief this week so here comes the summery:

• Monday I made some awesome ribs
• Tuesday was the big Xbox One reveal, just take my money now Microsoft
• Wednesday my ear was bothering me, and tried a new restaurant called The Innkeeper; highly recommend for dome Spanish/Mexican cuisine.
• Thursday went to the doctor and found out I have a minor ear infection and started taking medicated ear drops, which suck if you want to know.
• Friday went to a SIFF happy hour event and panel, will defiantly have to check out more of those for next year.  I also went to a moral event hosted by my man’s work and was groped by a good girlfriend of mine.  It was rather funny dinner conversation later that night at The Innkeeper, yes we went back.
• Saturday was another SIFF film and party, what sucked that night was were put on standby to get into the film.  So rather than try our luck we just went to the after party early!
• Sunday wrote to SIFF on how they can improve their ticketing issues when it come to party pass holders.  We are only restricted to the films that are inconjuntion with our pass and on the web site it says nothing about seating not guaranteed with this particular pass.

            So that sums up my week pretty nicely.  If you haven’t checked out the latest party up date it was on Sunday, follow me on Twitter to get more updates on me and SIFF.  See you all on Friday for a rant.

Party Sunday: Shakespeare Party

            Been gone way to long from doing this.  Well this may not be posted on an actual Wednesday but it got done!  So anyway, I think a little Shakespeare party is in order.  Instead of focusing on a single particular play, I am focused on the experience it’s self of attending the Globe Theater.   

Décor

             Your TV is the focal point in this party since you should watch a Shakespearian movie while you are hosting the party. The Globe Theater is difficult to replicate but if you set up your TV area like a stage most people should get the idea.

For building the stage I would refer you back to my Bioshock Infinite party on how to build a booth but build the dimensions according to your TV.

Bench seating and or wooden chairs will fit the style as well. 

For your food and drink tables I found a beautiful idea for it using old book pages as a runner.

Add quills and ink pots for the center pieces and encourage your guest to write down some inspirational quote of favorite Shakespearian quote on the pages. 

As for lighting keep it bright up until the “plays showing” then dim them down for that true theater experience.

Drink

I found a wonderful word press site that is dedicated to Shakespeare dinks.  Unfortunately they do not have pictures of there drinks but I will like it here for you anyways: http://bard365.wordpress.com/tag/drinks/

            This should kick off a night of wonderful reenactments of your favorite Shakespeare plays by some good or bad performers.  I will probably get back to a regular schedule of party Wednesday in a couple of weeks but this should wet your appetite for some more.

Bitchin’ Fridays: Ears Are A Ringing

             

            If you follow me on twitter or read Wednesday’s blog, you would know I came down with an ear infection.  What really suck is that it came on suddenly without any warning.  I haven’t been swimming but I think I may know who I could have been infective.

            It may have been a scratch from a cotton swab when I cleaned my ears.  It wasn’t painful, but it did annoy the hell out of me.  For an entire day I had 60 Hz humming in my ear.  I was ready to hack off my ear just to be rid of the noise.  I probably should have gone to the Doctor’s office that day instead of wait until the next morning.  Needless to say go to the doctors regardless if you are in pain or not.  It will save an extra day to heal.

            I am hoping to put out a party theme this weekend, be on the look out for that or check out my twitter for updates.

See you on the other side.

No Party Post Today

Sorry folks,
   No Party Wednesday today due to my ear acting weird.  I woke up to my ear having this horrible humming in my right ear and has continued all day.  I do not know why this is happening maybe some water got in it when I washed my hair last night but who knows.  I will try to put out a party post sometime this week.  Follow me on twitter to know when that is happening.  If you know why or have suggestion to relive my ear woes please leave me a comment down below.

The Start Of My Month Long Party-A-Thong

             Good Monday to you all.  This past week has been delightful and amazing with the kick off of SIFF and the after parties.  I had an amazing time at the opening gala and you can read all about it here, and I have to toot my own horn when I say that I look amazing (oh and my man did as well). 

            The next party we attended was on Saturday with a film.  It was a French film called Populaire set in the late1950’s and very reminiscent of an old Doris Day and Rock Hudson film with a splash of Mad Men thrown in.  The story is about a girl named Rose who is a dreadful secretary but a mind-boggling typist, so her boss resolves to make her the fastest typist in the world.  Weird plot but it is great how the film makers keep the audience entertained and enthusiastic about typing competitions.  

           

Following the film there was an after party hosted by Il Fornaio with fashion by Oska.  The party was very relaxed and the bar tenders were all very generous on pouring there wines.  I didn’t really sample a lot of the food but there was something fro everyone and what I did have, the brochette and mini cupcakes, were scrumptious.  Sadly not enough networking opportunities at this party again but I was able to do a little networking with a producer I meet at the party!  

            Aside form SIFF events, I have been franticly trying to train the new kitten, Tali, from now clawing or jumping up on certain things.  I can tell it has been really stressful on my cat Neko.  Somehow we will find a way to all get along with each other, though it would help if my man would be a bit more involved in training since it is his new kitten.

            Coming up this week I do plan on making a party Wednesday with a little Shakespearian flare.  Also stay tuned for more party updates and going on in my life via twitter.

Bitchin’ Fridays: SIFF Opening Night Gala

             

            Last night was the Seattle international film festival’s opening night gala.  I had to great opportunity, due in part to my man buying the party pass for SIFF, to attend the gala.  Sadly we were not on the red carpet, that is an additional 200 buck on top of the party pass, but we did get to see Joss Whedon’s film Much Ado about Nothing. 

            The filming of this movie was done at Joss Whedon’s house, and damn it was a nice looking house, and was filmed in 12 days.  After the film there was a little Q&A with Joss Whedon and cast members Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Nathan Fillion, and Clark Gregg. 

            Following the movie there was a party, and since we have the party pass we got unlimited free drinks, if you just bought general admission you were limited to two.  There was a ton of food from different restaurants, bakeries, and chocolatiers; all of which were sponsors of SIFF.  It was nice to have stationary food venders and people walking around with hors d'oeuvres.  Sadly the director and cast did not attend the party so we didn’t get pictures of them.

            One day Fillion, one day.

            Over all it was a great night full of drinks and dancing.  I still have 7 more parties to attend for SIFF, and of course I will keep you up dated with pics ( I bought a new camera) and info.  I will have Monday’s blog up at its usual time and I plan on doing a Party Wednesday blog this coming week as well.  Here is a couple of pics of me getting ready to head out for the party:

My man and I on our way out.  I had 5inch heels on.
