Post Palooza Post
I think we all knew that Petja Palooza was going to be special.
But it wasn’t until I actualy saw Petja on the streets of Manhattan last week, that I knew we were talking about a whole other level of Dafuq?
There really are no words to describe what the hell happened last weekend, so instead, I’ll share some of the more tasteful images, and let you draw your own conclusions.
One thing we do need to talk about is the gift bag. This bag had more fuckery per square inch than any bag could reasonably be expected to contain. And we had one for everybody, meaning that every seller who participated donated well over 200 pieces of merchandise for your fat, jelaous pleasure.
Here is a list of people who donated to our swag bags, filling them with everything from handmade jewelry to vibrating naughty things:
The School Locker
Beanie Gee
Music for the Goddess
Naffrodisia
Wendy’s Origami
Epic Blossoms
Blue Cat Books
Ravenshold Creations
Simply Smiss
Xjaeva
Princess Buzzkill’s Crying Glitter Eagle’s Emporium of Whimsy
Bound in Chain
Rainy Day Paperback Exchange
Wylie Elise Beckert
Epic Toy Chest
This Charming Candy
Gabbus
Found Philosophy
Lux Soap
Creative Heart’s Design
Live Clay
Risa Rocks It
Gallardo Works
Misfit Dynamo
Jewel Renee
L and K Beads
Catbird Craft
Nebbish Without a Cause
Lil Gypsy Treasures
Donna The Dead
Extreme Restraints
Diana Voisin
Bloodstream City
Third Half Studios
Arsenal Soap Works
If you contributed to the bag and you are not credited, please let me know
That right there is a list of approved fuckery vendors, so please visit their shops when you’re looking for something wonderful that hasn’t been imported from Bali.
And by the way, we have about 15 extra gift bags, and we’ll be offering those for sale in the next day or so. Proceeds will benefit Bronc’s AIDS Ride, June 3rd – 9th.
Finally, I’d like to thank someone very special for putting this all together.
That’s the heartstoppingly awesome Patrick McNaughton, preparing to give me a lap dance at Lucky Cheng’s.
Patrick is an event designer and Regretsy fan in NYC, and we were able to hire him to coordinate everything for us before we got out there. This poor bastard did everything from choosing the menu to packing up the gift bags and transporting them all to the venue.
By himself.
With no help from us.
Because we suck.
And after all that, he still had time to dance seductively for me while I shook my balloon penis at him. Try getting that kind of action from human resources.
So if you’re looking for an event designer in New York, email this bastard immediately.
Honestly, if I were looking for a full time employee in NYC, I would hire this guy so fast it would give new meaning to New York minute. And you know I’m sincere, because I never say anything good about anyone.
A sincere heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the bags, to Petja’s travel fund and the incredibly wonderful event that was Petja Palooza.
It still gets me, right here.

I wasn’t there, but just looking at the pictures is giving me a hangover.
May 16, 2012 at 5:35 pm
I was there, and it gives me a face-splitting grin.
May 16, 2012 at 7:54 pm
And also brings back my hangover. And after the gastro-intestinal fireworks I displayed later on that night… I *still* can’t think of chinese food the same…
May 16, 2012 at 11:22 am
What a great time, even for my shy, sorry, wall-hugging ass. Petja is as strong as ten oxen, and I suspect his pickled-fish diet really fuels muscle growth. None of my friends could believe how dapper he was in pictures. I am earth’s biggest a-hole for not meeting you while I had the chance, “Ellen”.
Also: The Lux Soap in that gift bag was the greatest. I used it all immediately and am now fixin’ to buy more in many smells. Every smell.
May 16, 2012 at 11:25 am
Including every size of every smell?
May 16, 2012 at 11:27 am
Of course. I’m not fucking around here.
May 16, 2012 at 11:35 am
I was not at the meetup, but can testify as to the wonderfulness of Luxsoap.
May 16, 2012 at 4:20 pm
I was SO glad you quit hugging the wall and said hello to me!! <3
May 16, 2012 at 11:25 am
OMFG! You all had a GREAT time!! I so jealous. Fuck it. The Cheetos are all mine today. You all can munch on your great memories!! *dripping with ENVYSAUCE*
May 16, 2012 at 11:27 am
The LES desperately needs regular infusions of this kind of fuckery. Thank you for improving NYC!
May 16, 2012 at 11:50 am
Dammit, Lemon Bombs! THERE you are! I’ve got your swag bag, because you were sick and I am nice. get in touch (forums, or via my wepay shop) and tell me where to ship it!
May 16, 2012 at 11:56 am
You are such a nice picklelady.
May 16, 2012 at 1:02 pm
I told you some nice lady over in the forums said she had it for you, but couldn’t remember her name. It’s PICKLELADY!!!
May 16, 2012 at 1:55 pm
BGS: All my love to you–and I’ll bury my hand in a bag of Cheetos just so you can lick my fingers anytime, but my post was directed at Lemon Bombs (you probably figured that out already, but I had to say it).
May 16, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Mugsy Sweetheart, I KNOW no one, especially here has “it” for me…maybe “had it out” for me, yes, but certainly not has “it” for me…no way. …and about those Cheetos, my tongue is hanging out just for you baby.
May 17, 2012 at 12:43 pm
She wants you to ship it to me Pickles, I believe you have my address ;P
It all looks way too fun!
May 16, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I woke up Monday morning, got on the subway, looked around and thought that something was missing. Got off the subway and looked around the streets, up the avenues, and around the block and realized what it was: FUCKERY.
NYC isn’t as exciting as it had been. It’s actually a bit…boring now. Congratulations fellow Paloozians: You done sucked all the fuckery out of my city. It may take awhile to recover…and then we should do it all over again!
May 16, 2012 at 4:22 pm
You got on the subway, but did you LEARN anything from our adventure? Did you TALK TO ANYONE??
/giggles
May 16, 2012 at 4:25 pm
All I learned from out adventure was that I need to learn a Southern accent FAST.
Here’s to the next 35 years of silent rides.
May 17, 2012 at 4:40 am
“Fuckery Sucking” could be the theme of the next meet-up.
May 16, 2012 at 11:29 am
Yup. Still jealous.
*sobs*
May 16, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Me too. Come to Colorado Springs. (Yes, I realize Denver is the bigger city, but Colorado Springs could use more fuckery.)
May 16, 2012 at 12:46 pm
But I’m in Denver and the bus doesn’t go to Colorado Springs.
May 16, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Yeah, our public transportation leaves a lot to be desired.
I do realize from a logistics perspective, Denver would make more sense. But just thought of a Regretsy-palooza in the city that is home to New Life Church (of Ted Haggard infamy) and Focus on the Wallet…er…Family brings a smile to my face.
May 16, 2012 at 1:20 pm
But it’s hard to breathe there!
May 16, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Princess Buzzkill, they can supply oxygen tanks in the swag bags.
May 16, 2012 at 1:59 pm
@Charitable Mafioso, first, may I say that yours is such a lovely name. My, uh, family appreciates it more than I can say (and I’ve consulted a lawyer; I’ve said as much as I can say, truly).
These oxygen tanks that you speak of, perhaps they can have booby- or penis-shaped mouth pieces, if that is not asking too much of the, uh, supplier, no?
May 16, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Mugsy, first of all, thank you for the ‘nym compliments. Second of all, I’m sure there’s some way to genitalize* oxygen tanks. I’m thinking penis/breast shaped cozies.
*Yes, I just made that word up. But you are all free to use it, free of charge.
May 16, 2012 at 11:29 am
Sadly hit the worlds WORST traffic coming to the event. Getting to the Village after 7 took all the wind out of my sails for the requisite skulduggery. Did get to see Petja’s lap dance from the back of the room though, nice!
May 16, 2012 at 12:09 pm
I hit it too, on the FDR drive. By the time I arrived at the party (an hour late) I was hot flashing like a motherfucker. Having Petja and Helen receive lap dances 3 feet from my face cured that fast, though.
BEST NIGHT EVAR!
From the bottom of this cranky New Yorker’s black and crispy heart, thank you Helen and Bronc.
May 16, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Us too! Our bus was super late, so we got to the party around 8 pm. Got there just in time for the amateur lap dances. The guy who won the back room lap dance was fantastic! Oh, and we got penis balloons.
May 16, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Yup, I got stuck in traffic too. I got there about an hour and a half late, which sucked. It didn’t really leave enough time to meet many people, but I still had fun.
May 16, 2012 at 11:30 am
Oh hot damn. This looks like it was awesome.
May 16, 2012 at 11:30 am
Fabulous even if I couldn’t make it! Keep posting pictures, NSFW or otherwise. Best donation I’ve made all year to keep me smiling.
Glad Petya had a great time in NYC.
Please keep Portland on the To-Do List for upcoming meetups.
May 16, 2012 at 11:30 am
My god, it’s full of stars.
May 16, 2012 at 11:30 am
The whole event was amazing. And so many lap dances. lol
May 16, 2012 at 11:32 am
So this is what you fuckers where doing while I was getting married.
I hope this is just a teaser of more pictures yet to come!
May 16, 2012 at 11:32 am
OMG. So jelly you could use me to fill a donut. You need to come down to Texas. You’ll end up getting all of the hick, redneck fuckery you can handle.
May 16, 2012 at 11:39 am
I second the Texas meet-up idea.
May 16, 2012 at 6:07 pm
Yes, Dallas, please. Seven million people = mega probability of intense fuckery.
May 16, 2012 at 11:34 am
Any time I shake my penis at a Lap Dancer it’s more of a Shrinky Dink than a Balloon.
May 16, 2012 at 1:07 pm
rimshot!
May 16, 2012 at 11:35 am
Sooo, When is there going to be a Midwest get together? East and West coast got their love. Now I think the midwest deserves theres!!
May 16, 2012 at 11:57 am
CHICAGO!!
May 16, 2012 at 11:37 am
(Covers eyes with hands, puts in headphones, tunes up music loud) LA LA LA LA IT SUCKED IT WAS A BORE I DIDN’T MISS ANYTHING EVERYONE SAYS IT WOULD’VE BEEN A BILLION TIMES BETTER IF I’D BEEN THERE LA LA LA….
OK, seriously, I’m envious and wish I could have made it. Let’s have a DC meetup sometime!
May 16, 2012 at 11:39 am
People came from the District! You could have been one of them.
The girl in the cat shirt rode a bus all the way from D.C.
May 16, 2012 at 1:17 pm
My problem was that cash has been seriously tight for me; got even worse after having work done on the car. I may have been able to make it up there but I wouldn’t have had any spending money to speak of. Sigh. Maybe there’ll be a next time. (sniff)
May 16, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Jesus. I’ve taken the train from DC to Albany, and that is a weird, weird ride. Not sure what the bus breakdown is, but the train was 25% paranoid schizophrenics and 50% Amish. The other 25% was terrified college students, =/- 1% service dogs.
May 16, 2012 at 1:22 pm
We did say that it would have been a billion times better if you were there, Vagarian. NYC would have melted down from all the awesome.
May 16, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Thanks…maybe it’s just as well, huh? Can’t be responsible for a catastrophe like that….
May 16, 2012 at 11:39 am
When people in New York take your picture, either you’re on fire or you’ve got the goddamn style. Sir, I congratulate you on The Style.
May 16, 2012 at 11:40 am
Extreme Restraints had stuff in the bag. Hnnnnghh. Hold on. Wiping Saliva off my keyboard.
I have never been so angry to be in Canada as I am right now.
May 16, 2012 at 1:09 pm
According to the drag queen (Princess of Poison, I think was her name), there was a whole table full of Torontoians, Torontonauts, people from Toronto. (OK, so I know Canada is a big place and you might not be anywhere near Toronto, but, well, you know.
OK, I’ll stop now.
May 16, 2012 at 1:19 pm
I believe they prefer the term “Canuckistanis”.
May 16, 2012 at 1:58 pm
I like the sound of Torontodons.
May 16, 2012 at 11:47 am
So many warm, fuzzy memories from this night!
Truthfully most of them are just fuzzy.
May 16, 2012 at 1:10 pm
But the photos aren’t fuzzy! Whether that’s good or bad, however…
May 16, 2012 at 1:23 pm
My photos collected all the fuzz. And the cat hair.
May 16, 2012 at 11:47 am
I’m the Norseman of the Apocalypse fuckers!
Seriously, making the post like that made me happier than it really should have.
May 16, 2012 at 11:53 am
inorite? You and Mrs. Fucker were so nice to have dinner with. And there’s a picture of me on the Regretsy main site! *does the rockstar dance*
May 16, 2012 at 12:18 pm
Hooray–my toes are there *AND* I took the photo of balloon weenie/Patrick. Go me!
May 16, 2012 at 12:51 pm
And at least a third of my pictures are of you, cause you got a fucking lap dance too! You and Jess rocked those Atomic Hellephants!
May 16, 2012 at 1:12 pm
So glad we were able to meet. Your wife’s nametag of Whimsiclefucker confused me. I was NOT drunk by any means, but the brain cells didn’t tell me that the reason I was confused is that you’re a guy and she’s not. Saw you two at karoaoke. Where were you on Saturday??
May 16, 2012 at 1:33 pm
I loved how Morgantier asked me if I was a plant when I sat back down, because I “curtsied like a princess” when all was said and done.
May 17, 2012 at 4:47 am
Mugsy, Mrs. Fucker’s tag did have a small “+1″ on it. I missed everybody Saturday and it is a kind of boring story. We did go to the Met. so I was really suprised we didn’t bump into ANYONE, however the Met. is FUCKING.HUGE.
Picklelady, we enjoyed meeting you too, and all the other FJL’s. I am nearly completely deaf in one ear, and with background noise have a lot of trouble hearing people, so there were several people I “met” that consisted of “Strange person smiles & their lips move, I smile and nod” so I didn’t get everyone’s name.
May 16, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Hey lady, nice pickle!
May 16, 2012 at 11:51 am
This whole post was awesome. The photos make me happy and now I’m tired. I need a nap after all that. If I had been there, I would have needed a shower too.
And in scanning the list of swag contributors, I saw Ravenshold Creations. I can attest to the awesome that is Ravenshold. Everyone should buy something from that shop.
May 16, 2012 at 11:53 am
I just spent an hour going through all those shops…there are soooo many great people here with so much talent, Off to bust my wallet now:-)
May 16, 2012 at 11:54 am
Oh damn…I need a gift bag..
And a kleenex for my jealous loser tears.
May 16, 2012 at 11:54 am
Missing from the Swag Bag donor list is Hughes Pottery. They are wonderful people who make beautiful functional art. Give them your money.
*I am NOT Hughes Pottery, but I am friends with them*
May 16, 2012 at 1:25 pm
*I am neither Picklelady nor Hughes Pottery, but I approve this message*
May 16, 2012 at 11:58 am
Goddam. Just… goddam.
You couldn’t wait ’til next month, when I’ll be in NYC. I haven’t been to Lucky Cheng’s since 1998, and believe me, it wasn’t as much fun then.
What you really need to do is come to Abu Dhabi. The amount of international fuckery here will blow your mind. Think about it. But probably not ’til say, October, when the temperature might come back down below 110…
May 16, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Really? There can be this many women in one place in Abu Dhabi without the locals and the visiting international workers thinking we were all sex workers? And they’re cool with Jewish Americans? (We have contractors over there all the time and the stories I hear coming back from there… oy!)
May 17, 2012 at 8:07 pm
I’ll be there in sixteen hours. I’m going to a city that’s suffering from fuckery withdrawal. and probably a booze shortage.
May 16, 2012 at 11:58 am
Where do I get the barnwood shirt? I need a backdrop for all my pictures.
May 16, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Seeing the pictures is ALMOST like being there, right? RIGHT?! So much fuckery!
May 16, 2012 at 12:06 pm
What? No nudity? You think you know some people…
May 16, 2012 at 12:56 pm
No nudity, WTF? Oh, you mean no nudity in these pictures. You want nudity, go to the events your own damn self fucker!
May 16, 2012 at 2:02 pm
I guess I’ll just have to settle for all of the stupendous racks that were on display. Is it me or do all of the Regretsy evens come with a heaping helping of ripe jugs?
May 16, 2012 at 12:14 pm
MY BOOBIES MADE IT TO THE FRONT PAGE OF REGRETSY!
I have one set left that I will be listing for sale tonight and I need to go home and make a badge for the listing.
May 16, 2012 at 12:20 pm
Princess, Your boobies (same pair I’m wearing in the pic) went home with Helen Killer on Saturday night. At least she was still wearing them when I left the bar…
May 16, 2012 at 1:30 pm
That is the most wonderful thing I’ve heard all day! I love seeing all the photos of those novelty breasts on everyone. Also if it encouraged people to sign real breasts, that’s just icing on the cake.
Helen went home with my Atomic Hellephant glove, too. And hopefully the homemade blueberry jam I foisted on Bronc.
May 16, 2012 at 12:23 pm
I have to say that my favorite item in the bag was that lovely little vibrating thing. This fat jealous loser isn’t so jealous anymore!
May 16, 2012 at 12:24 pm
OH and also so nice to (briefly) meet the great Princess Buzzkill Crying Glitter Eagle & picklelady!
May 16, 2012 at 3:03 pm
Jazz Chicken, it was great to briefly meet you too! That’s why the next one has to be an entire weekend so we can all get some quality hang out time.
May 16, 2012 at 12:26 pm
I want those boobies.
May 16, 2012 at 1:47 pm
I listed my last set in my wepay store. https://www.wepay.com/stores/princess-buzzkill-crying-glitter-eagle-s-emporium-of-whimsy
May 16, 2012 at 5:44 pm
You could always make more. Charge extra for custom tats, etc.
May 16, 2012 at 6:50 pm
I *could*… but I have accrued quite a backlog of work that I actually WANT to do… these quilts wont make themselves!
May 17, 2012 at 9:20 am
Mine, mine, all mine!!
May 16, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Holy shit. That’s me up there. That is my drunk ass pinching HK’s tits. Sorry, Bronc. I couldn’t resist. YOU ARE A LUCKY MAN.
May 16, 2012 at 4:26 pm
I have to ask…do you even remember pinching HK’s tits in that picture? Because, damn, girl, damn. You drank enough alcohol to float a couple of dinghys.
(hehehe.)
May 16, 2012 at 5:21 pm
She is even MORE fun when she’s drunk, amirite? No fear at all!
May 16, 2012 at 7:13 pm
I’ll be honest… No I do not.
May 17, 2012 at 7:59 am
That’s why photographs are the blessing and curse of such experiences. ♥
May 16, 2012 at 5:46 pm
You are just cute as a bug, Awesteiney! That picture makes me laugh out loud every time I look at it.
May 16, 2012 at 11:34 pm
And I know it.
May 16, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Okay, so of course I’m jealous for all the obvious reasons (drag queens, chinese food, balloons) but what gets me more than anything is that that was probably the largest gathering ever of people I might actually like.
Rock on, you crazy fuckers.
May 16, 2012 at 2:48 pm
daisyj, if there ever was one inspirational comment in regretsy, you just wrote it.
May 18, 2012 at 11:37 am
I think that may be the worst part! We need more FJL down my way.
May 16, 2012 at 12:45 pm
And one more of the Signs of the Apocalypse is checked off…
May 16, 2012 at 12:56 pm
ok, so this is going to be an annual event, right? Because I know I’m not alone in saying something that fun, odd, and slightly wrong must be repeated year after year! Sign me up as a recurring VIP attendee!
May 16, 2012 at 1:32 pm
I vote for a full-blown convention where we all stay in the same hotel for a weekend, and have classes in gluing shit to other shit, drunk crafting, and Fuckery.
May 16, 2012 at 1:49 pm
*raises hand, swings it back and forth, Horshack-style*
Me, too! (Have already been thinking about what shit to contribute to the shit to be glued to other shit and as soon as I can find a pattern for crocheted coleslaw, I’m in!)
May 16, 2012 at 2:00 pm
I’ll teach sewing!! I just have to draft a pattern for a plush penis first.
May 16, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Let’s include a trip to the bead and trim districts…or else you might be the only one with those awesome skull beads. Not fair!
May 16, 2012 at 3:04 pm
and FABRIC DISTRICT – there was no time to go there on Friday.
May 16, 2012 at 5:48 pm
And mooning Etsy headquarters.
May 17, 2012 at 8:08 am
Yup, we’re going to need an entire weekend for all this…and I love Kniti’s idea of a trip to the hipster sanctuary in Brooklyn to say hello in Regretsy style!
May 17, 2012 at 9:25 am
Mugsy – It wasn’t my idea, actually, it was April’s. Next time.
May 16, 2012 at 12:57 pm
I am so sad that I didn’t get to contribute to the swag bags or go to the meetup. I’ll be here, in the corner, eating gummy frogs because I have no ice cream.
May 16, 2012 at 1:03 pm
I don’t care how many fat jealous losers I have to slay, I am getting me one of those goodie bags.
May 16, 2012 at 1:13 pm
Only the dead can know peace from this fuckery.
May 16, 2012 at 1:42 pm
Sampler!
May 16, 2012 at 1:23 pm
Holy shit I had so much fun with you fuckers. I’m someone who hates parties, hates big cities, is frightened by large crowds, and doesn’t drink, BUT I STILL CAME BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE FRIGGING AWESOME! And I had a total blast! I’d do this again in a heartbeat.
May 16, 2012 at 4:30 pm
PENS!! Will you please please PLEASE tell everyone that I did get to meet you and I’m not making it up?? PLEASE?!?
May 16, 2012 at 4:43 pm
I’ll let you in on a little secret: I was almost too shy to go up to you and say hi.
May 16, 2012 at 1:40 pm
I had a lovely conversation with Petja’s wife at the restaurant. She said they’re still astonished by it all and asked what I like about him: He’s fun, FUNNY, colorful, good-natured, handsome, and he teaches us to curse in Finnish. What’s not to love?
The hostess, Princess of Power (I think) didn’t know WHAT to make of Petja & he had so much fun. When she picked up Kniti’s helmet & pointed out the Hellephant, the room roared and her expression was “Who the fuck ARE these people?”
Who? We are FJLs and we are proud!
I was nervous about meeting so many people I “knew” but didn’t know and, it’s a cliche, but it didn’t take long to feel as if we’ve known each other for years: Beeby, DoBeDoBeadDo, Awesteiney, Babs Johnson, and I had so much fun together, as well as Accidental Workshop & Toadhole & OohgoBAZOONGAS (renamed after Saturday night and she knows why) and Kniti and all the rest. So sad it’s over!
May 16, 2012 at 4:31 pm
After seeing that picture up top, I think everyone knows why she’s ohgoBAZOOMS, too.
I miss you!
May 16, 2012 at 4:46 pm
When all the fjls were home safely (or on their way) on Sunday eve and I was still in the City, I cried a glitter tear of loneliness. I just love you all (and miss you terribly).
May 16, 2012 at 5:09 pm
I felt lonely, too. I wish I could have taken off work and continued the fun! The city is so different during the week.
May 16, 2012 at 5:07 pm
I think she’s going with ohgoBAZOOMBAS now. I hope she’s careful at the gym. Too much jumping and she could knock herself unconscious!
I MISS YOU, TOO!!!
May 16, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Awww, shit, man! glitter tears forming in the corners of my eyes. I had such a good time with all y’all, and I can’t begin to tell you how good it felt to just fall in so comfortably with all these friends I’d never met. It was amazing and I can’t wait to do it again.
May 17, 2012 at 1:24 pm
You DO realize Kniti, that you and I are a 45 minute plane ride from each other. Just sayin.
May 16, 2012 at 1:56 pm
It was an epic amazing night… Met some crazy fun SMART chicks. It was totally a taco fest, but it was nice to see some guys there. Most of all the guy at the table next to be who didn’t want his gift bag and was giving the stuff away. Let’s just say no one else had a chance at that toy in there, it was ALL MINE!
My only sad face was that I ate my one leftover special brownie afterwards and had a bad time on the train out of the city. But I just rubbed my face on all my FJL swag and it made things better.
Can’t wait to do it again.
May 16, 2012 at 2:35 pm
I crafted up-cycled voodoo dolls for everyone having fun without me. Be warned.

“And by the way, we have about 15 extra gift bags, and we’ll be offering those for sale in the next day or so.”
Great, now I’ll have to wake up at improbable hours in order not to let european time zones mess with this.
May 16, 2012 at 2:38 pm
What? Do I hear bitching about lack of nudity?! Here, have some of this. What is this, you ask? Oh, nothing, just my poor, poor boyfriend being essentially molested by a dude in lingerie.
May 16, 2012 at 4:28 pm
NOW THATS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! And honestly, if you’re going to be molested by a dude in lingerie, this is the way to do it.
May 16, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Yay!! Someone shared a picture. Share some more!! Let’s see them pics!!
May 17, 2012 at 8:06 am
I have to find a good place to develop the film in the one-time-use cameras…which I completely forgot to bring to Petja Palooza!
::Headdesk against upturned staples::
I did take photos of our meanderings through the street fair and at Strawberry Fields…and there were a number of photos taken at the Tile Bar on Saturday night, but because I didn’t realize the flash was NOT automatic, they may be very
dark and impossible to seeartistic.May 17, 2012 at 9:04 am
Is alright Mugs…I bring staple remover, Doll.
May 16, 2012 at 8:05 pm
But she’s such a pretty dude in lingerie…
May 17, 2012 at 10:55 am
She has some fantastic boobs too.
May 17, 2012 at 1:15 pm
Magical, gravity defying boobs at that!
May 16, 2012 at 3:32 pm
Patrick, I think you definitely need to add some of these pics to your portfolio. If you can create a party like this, you can do anything.
May 16, 2012 at 4:10 pm
You know, even listening to Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack for “Black Belly of the Tarantula” ($2 from Goodwill today!) doesn’t take the edge of regret off. I really wish my husband & I could’ve been there.
May 16, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Anybody try the soap from Arsenal Soapworks in the gift bags? I hear it’s awesome and super cool. And made of magic. And it’s natural viagra. And it will allow you to communicate with the dead. And my mom thinks it’s great.
May 16, 2012 at 4:29 pm
That’s pure objectivity right there.
May 16, 2012 at 4:36 pm
My mother’s assessment isn’t biased; she’s clearly not afraid to tell me when I’ve disappointed her.
May 16, 2012 at 8:06 pm
I have yet to try your soap, but I’m assuming I’ll love it based on your witty remarks alone.
May 16, 2012 at 4:32 pm
I have to ask because it’s been worrying me – Does anyone know about the girl who fell down outside after the event? I’ve been worrying about her and wondering if she’s okay – I never got her name or her screen name. I think her first name was Lisa.
May 16, 2012 at 4:47 pm
I’ve been wondering, too. Anybody?
May 16, 2012 at 5:19 pm
I’d also heard her name was Lisa, but that was all I know.
May 16, 2012 at 8:07 pm
I’ve been thinking about that incident too. I hope she’s okay. I think she was with her cousin (?), but I know someone called an ambulance.
May 16, 2012 at 9:33 pm
Yeah, I keep wondering about her too. By the time I knew anything had happened the ambulance was arriving and the most constructive thing I could do was stay out of the way, but I care what happened to her, and I keep hoping we hear something.
May 17, 2012 at 4:55 am
Someone, maybe Picklelady, told me she threw up on their shoes, then fell down. Sounded like someone was getting “non-specific alcohol abuse” added to their medical chart with a bruise & headache. I also heard her cousin, maybe, rode in the ambulance with her.
May 17, 2012 at 4:56 am
She didn’t make the local morning news anyway, as we were watching it by 6:30 AM.
May 17, 2012 at 8:14 am
You’re not from around here, are you? A girl going to a club and passing out drunk on the street on any night, even if an ambulance is required, MIGHT show up on the police blotter in a local newspaper, which in Manhattan and the boroughs, would be a weekly
Some of the stuff that does make the local news is less substantive than a dandelion fluff, but there was nothing outstanding about the incident, sadly.
I’m not being snarky or cold-hearted.
May 17, 2012 at 8:14 am
When I say “local news,” I meant television or radio, not newspapers.
May 17, 2012 at 8:24 am
(This and the following were meant at replies to Whimsiclefucker.)
May 16, 2012 at 4:50 pm
awwww wish I’d been able to make it – looks awesome
I would have been able to come to if it’d been a month in either direction XD
Tho thinking about it, why hasn’t there been a meetup here in England? we not eccentric enough for you Americans???
May 16, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Maybe we should have our own meetup! I vote Warwick Castle because I personally can get in free, and I work at the cheapest pub in town so I know where to take you all after we storm the moat. ^_^
May 17, 2012 at 1:17 am
Oh, if you arrange one I’ll join! (once you promise you water down your british accent for us strangers)
But to be honest, UK is not a match for Finland in terms of regretsy. I don’t know who this is an insult for, I prefer to read it as two compliments.
May 16, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Every single thing about this is perfect- it’s amazing the type of community you can build digitally! All the pics and comments almost make me feel like I was there. Almost. -.-
May 16, 2012 at 6:20 pm
I had an amazing time, by far the best thing I’ve done since moving to NYC.
Not to mention, Bronc gave me the best hug, popping like 6 vertebrae in my back. I’ve never felt so aligned!
May 16, 2012 at 7:23 pm
I need to have one of those leftover swag bags and I’m so sure I’m going to miss out.
May 16, 2012 at 9:38 pm
Em, send me your address I’ll send you a few bits o’ swag. Not promising a vibrator or anything, but a little bit o’ this n’ that….
May 17, 2012 at 4:27 am
Really? That would be awesome. I’m on the penpal list but I’ll shoot you an email anyway.
May 17, 2012 at 8:16 am
There’s a penpal list? I would be interested in such a thing.
May 17, 2012 at 9:06 am
penpal list? add me too.
May 17, 2012 at 9:32 am
Mugsy & bgs – Get in touch with Jealous Loser. She’s been keeping an updated list of names and addresses.
May 17, 2012 at 12:48 pm
*raises hand!* I want a pal with a pen!
May 17, 2012 at 1:30 pm
What’s this about a list of pals with pens? I am a pal. I have a pen. Halps me, please.
May 16, 2012 at 8:17 pm
I had such an absolutely amazing time! I may have drunk so much that I paid $4 for a bottle of effing Gold Peak iced tea at Grand Central… and can’t remember some of the night, but I’ll never forget you FJLs! …and especially the bathroom rendition of “Oh Canada” that almost had me peeing my pants.
And now my girls and I are on the site… Making my Mama proud one day at a time!
May 16, 2012 at 9:43 pm
My postcard arrived yesterday. My first instinct, after reading it, was to sniff it to see if it smelled like pickled herring. Ya know, seeing as it was touched by a Finn… It seemed like the logical thing to do at the time.
May 17, 2012 at 8:18 am
That subtle scent you smell might be salted licorice. I hope, anyway.
May 16, 2012 at 11:41 pm
This looks like you guys had such a total blast- I’m jealous. I’m seriously counting down the days until I turn 21 more for the ability to come to one of these than I am the ability to drink. I literally live within an hour of where the LA meetup was- travesty of travesties, I swear…
May 17, 2012 at 12:37 am
Now I wonder.
Why are not arranged in two evenings?
May 17, 2012 at 4:36 am
Next time in…. http://specialevents.thegarden.com/#/beacontheatre
May 17, 2012 at 8:20 am
Petja, that is a fabulous idea AND the Beacon is a beauty of an old theatre!!!
May 17, 2012 at 4:31 am
Wow looks like everyone had a great time! I’m jealous.
A big thanks to Patrick for getting my contribution into the gift bag even though I sent them in super last minute!!!
Anyways, I included a coupon code on the back of my business cards for epictoychest.com in the gift bags, so I thought I would share one with the rest of you fat jealous losers if you’re interested. Use the code CLUBF4L for 15% off for the rest of May.
May 17, 2012 at 5:21 am
OMG, I laughed, I cried, I lap danced. That was the most amazing evening I’ve ever had. And luckily, I had pictures in my camera so I could remember what I did the next morning. You FJLs are the best! Thank you Helen, Bronc and Petja!
May 17, 2012 at 6:53 am
I am SO JEALOUS of you fat jealous losers!!!!!
May 17, 2012 at 8:43 am
Books.
May 18, 2012 at 7:40 am
Gosh, I really missed out. I think I need one of those fuckery-filled bags when the auction is up. Does it really have vibrating things in it?
May 20, 2012 at 12:21 am
So I’m starting my early Xmas shopping with people who gave me some really awesome shit in the gift bags – who put in the greeting card? Mine says I <3 your penis, and I need more. I love a lot of penises. Please help me appreciate the phalluses in my life.
