IT’S OFFICIAL:
Now, I want to say something to all of you fat bastards on the East Coast, who looked at the photos of our Los Angeles Meet-Up a few weeks ago (password: CF4L) and felt like the whole thing was just unfair.
It was. It was terribly unfair.
We have nice weather, great Mexican food, and all our women have gigantic implants and no pubic hair. And what do you have? Trash strikes, rats the size of housecats and Jets fans. You don’t even have hookers in Times Square anymore.
Well friends, we ’bout to flip the script (I got that from Queen Latifah. Don’t judge me). The first annual NEW YORK CITY REGRETSY MEET-UP is on its way, and it will make the West Coast sushi shitfest look like a Lutheran potluck. I’m not even sure what that means, and I’m still excited!
What does this meet-up have that Los Angeles didn’t have?
• DRAG QUEENS
• CHINESE FOOD
• A GUY WHO MAKES X-RATED BALLOON ANIMALS
• LAP DANCES
• FRIED FOOD
• TWICE AS MANY FAT JEALOUS LOSERS
And there was something else… what was it?
Oh yes
PETJA!
Petja first came to our attention on a Finnish fashion site that captures stylish people on the streets of Helsinki, on their way to do typically Finnish things (get drunk). We featured Petja’s picture here, and he instantly became an object of adoration in the Regretsy community.
Because Finland is only inhabited by about 12 people, Petja soon became aware of the feature, and began to post here and in our forums. Things got even better when he agreed to meet us in Helsinki, and we wound up golfing with beer cans and getting drunk in an igloo.
It’s a long story. But if you want to read about it, start here and click through the next few posts (password: CF4L).
The important thing is that Petja is coming all the way from Helsinki in his vest and monocle and weird-ass beard, just to show all of us the true meaning of drinking like a Finnish bastard.
It’s a once in a lifetime chance to drink and dine with the legend, while a drag queen gives someone a lap dance.
Not me of course, but someone.

UPDATE: 2/2/12
WE ARE SOLD OUT!
If you aren’t attending but still want to help get Petja to NYC, consider donating a little something to his travel fund. Every dollar you give us is being matched by WePay, so we can get him and his wife to NYC in half the time!
I’m throwing in all kinds of incentives, like autographed books, and a limited edition, 2 gig, Petja Head USB drive designed by Risa Rocksit:
