Event Recap
Lots of people braved the cold to attend Face the Fiction's Mahwah
Bar & Grill social. Those that did had a great time. The entire night
was one silly event after another - from Todd and Amir's, "I lift
things up and put them down" to Bill using his fingers to count the
movies he had recently seen kindergarten-style - we had fun.
The night began at 6:30p. MB&G had the backroom ready and
waiting for us. It looked inviting and was warm! Bonus on such a
cold night. People trickled in throughout the night which added to
the fun. It was a nice, relaxed evening. The food was delicious.
The conversation was hysterical and all over the place. Jo and Gene
were "acting innocent" - no one was fooled.
Bill talked about the movies he had seen and gave his reviews as
well as his recommendations - or avoid at all costs in some cases.
Gene agreed with Bill about some of the films and gave some
reviews of his own. Chris gave a strong recommend to The King's
Speech (which seemed to be 'the' film to see).
We talked about TV, the holidays, the weather, and a truly hilarious
discussion about commercials - ergo Todd and Amir acting out "I lift
things up and put them down" - if you have not seen this
commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-cpojkILO0. Too
funny! Now imagine sitting at a table with this being acted out... I
believe it was right about here that Jo was quietly looking for an
escape route...to no avail as she was blocked in! She tried valiantly
which made it all the sadder. Hee hee. No really...hee. To add
fuel to Jo's pain, BJ encouraged Todd and Amir. Enabler!
We were enjoying ourselves so much that dinner wasn't enough; we
all had coffee and many ordered dessert. Todd, what's a Kentucky
Derby?
We discussed books recently read and a few for the upcoming
meetings. Daemon by Daniel Suarez got several recommends.
Chris enjoyed the book so much he is currently reading the sequel
Freedom. Liz also talked about The Steel Remains from
December's Modern Masters as she wasn't able to attend the
meeting. Aurelia wondered who had read Daemon in preparation for
Suspense Central. Should be a lively chat.
Deena is still looking for John Edwards in the parking lot! Todd
lectured about the dangers of daily beef - don't ask. No really,
don't. Bill did not mention ERB once! A fantastic event, fun night
with many too funny for words moments. Can't wait to do this again.
