We had a LOT of fun on Saturday night, and I'm so happy to have had the chance to meet all these wonderful women! When I posted that I'd be in New York and asked if people wanted to get together, I had no idea the response would be so huge! There were 20 of us all being fangirly and naughty, and we all had a blast!



The party started way before I got there, but I arrived at the Heartland Brewery on 5th Ave. around 7:00 to find everyone in full swing! There was [livejournal.com profile] cormallen, [livejournal.com profile] mijan (Sweetie, I forgot my wand! I'll email you about it.), [livejournal.com profile] mania_regale, [livejournal.com profile] kriken, [livejournal.com profile] kerryblaze, [livejournal.com profile] singlewoman, [livejournal.com profile] dramaphile, [livejournal.com profile] songsmistress, [livejournal.com profile] ziasudra, [livejournal.com profile] starrysummer, [livejournal.com profile] xingou, [livejournal.com profile] princesskariboo, [livejournal.com profile] evilimp, [livejournal.com profile] pastelninja, [livejournal.com profile] satindolls, [livejournal.com profile] simons_flower, [livejournal.com profile] alafairnadia, [livejournal.com profile] wildegirl_05, and of course, [livejournal.com profile] se_spotwood! Cormallen had name tags for everyone, which was really helpful, as it would have been impossible otherwise.

We spent a couple of hours at the brewpub hanging out, having dinner, and being generally naughty. There were drabbles and lots of naughty art left behind for the waitstaff!

I think all of this is by [livejournal.com profile] mijan.



Here's a closeup of the art, featuring squidpr0n!



And down where the fantastic [livejournal.com profile] princesskariboo, [livejournal.com profile] evilimp, and [livejournal.com profile] pastelninja were sitting:



There was more art by [livejournal.com profile] cormallen, and Sam has posted it all here.

And [livejournal.com profile] dramaphile left her mark!



A bunch of us got Dork Mark tattoos from [livejournal.com profile] dramaphile. Mine hasn't faded one bit, either. :-P



So does that make us Dork Eaters? We must have a reunion at Lumos and be marked again, maybe find others to join our ranks... ;-)

[livejournal.com profile] dramaphile also drew an adorable picture of Harry and Draco kissing me on the cheek! *puts under pillow*

We had a great time over dinner, everyone talking and drabbling and drawing and generally having fun. [livejournal.com profile] cormallen recounted some of the plotlines of The Sith Academy, and [livejournal.com profile] simons_flower almost fell out of her chair by the end, she was laughing so hard!

[livejournal.com profile] satindolls wrote a smutty H/D drabble on the table, and there was a reading at one point! ([livejournal.com profile] mania_regale has posted it here.)



We headed over to Element in the East Village around 11:00, where Damon DeMarco (of Hunter & Damon fame) was to be a-go-go-ing that night. It's a new club, and one of our group had managed to get us in cozy with the manager so we could skip the line! We danced, drank more, shouted at each other over the loud music, and ogled all the pretty boys. We finally got to meet a scantily-clad Damon, and he was so sweet! He even posted a bit about us on his blog! ETA: [livejournal.com profile] wildegirl_05 has a pic of Damon here.)

It was a long train ride back to NJ for me, and I even had to get up early the next morning, but it was SO WORTH IT to meet all of those wonderful, beautiful, fun-loving women! I am SO excited for Lumos now!!!

Postscript: [livejournal.com profile] se_spotwood made an icon of my teeth!



That cracks me up. I guess spending my junior high years with a mouthful of metal has finally paid off! ;-)

SQUIDPORN! MUAHAHAHA!!!!

Mind if I gack some of these for my impending LJ entry? *bats eyelashes*

Oh, and would you believe I fell asleep mid-day on Sunday, like a log? I swear, I need to rest up before going to Lumos, if I want to be even remotely coherent.

But anyway, it was awesome to see you! *smooches!* Must see you again at Lumos!

Oh, and I know about the wand. It's safe and secure. I figured, if you'd carried it into the club, there was a good chance that it would have left in two pieces (or more). This way, it's safe, and you'll have it before Lumos.
*pets*

Gack away! I got a bit more sleep on the plane home... :-P

How should we handle the wand exchange? Is it safe to mail it? Should I pay you via paypal, or would you prefer a check?

I don't have a paypal account. I did, but I had issues with it, and I don't trust it anymore. Long story. I'd accept a cheque, or when we meet at Lumos (because I WILL be there, damnit!)... you're my friend, and I trust you. I've mailed wands to quite a few people, including a beautiful oak wand (replica of Hagrid's) to a man in exchange for a scarf recently. I insure them for $50, which only costs an extra dollar, and send it 2-3 day delivery. Never had one broken yet, but just in case, it's handy to have.

Anyhow, back to work.
*le sigh*
