Melissa Lion and Superfan Erica. And me. I was there too.
Last night, Superfan Erica met me at my apartment (she was so prompt!) and we took a cab over to the Crowbar on Mississippi Ave to meet Melissa Lion.
It was really, really hot and we were all sweaty but whatever, the Crowbar has margaritas – wait for it – ON TAP.
Were they good? Not particularly….but they came out of a tap and ever since reading MFK Fisher’s story about red and white wine spigots in the bathroom of a Dijon hotel room, I have been dying to drink something non beer-y from a faucet.
Anyway, I was totally retarded downsy and shy the way I am and Superfan Erica was so funny and pretty and confident and brave (she cuts her own hair). Actually, she reminded me more than a little bit of Alison Hallett. I think we should get them together. And take pictures. What.
Melissa met us there a few minutes later and she looked so great in her summer dress and not sweaty the way I was all sweaty. And she met Superfan for the first time..
Superfan: Not really comfortable with being called Superfan
We then proceeded to make Erica show us the entire contents of her ginormous bag. You see, Erica is 25 years old, smart, pretty and SINGLE (hear that internet? SINGLE) and so Melissa and I are compelled to live vicariously through her adventures. Some of Superfan’s overnight necessities…
Michael Cunningham book: Note…NOT The Hours
You never know when you might have to jam
Fresh tee shirt: For freshness. Like I said.
I WOULD NEVER THINK TO BRING A PHONE CHARGER – BRILLIANT
Thank God we met her. Otherwise, I’d still be watching DVR’d episodes of The Hills over and over again in an effort to recapture my youth. Oh! Speaking of The Hills, we also saw Brody Jenner later that night…
Brody Jenner(ish) and the redheaded Zach Galifinakis…or a leprechaun.
Anyway, we went to The Ambassador and then wandered around Sandy Blvd until we accidentally found Chopsticks. We also did some kind of newscast with Superfan Erica while on Sandy. Melissa should be posting that video soon enough.
Chopsticks was the way it always is. Hot, smoky, weird crowd. I decided it would be a good idea to sing Lose Yourself by Eminem. I do not make good choices. But Erica sang Ludacris’ Stand Up and it was so good. SO GOOD.
I think I’m her Superfan now. Superfan Kiala.
I’m afraid I wasn’t much fun last night. I’ve got a lot of writing to do in the next few days and it’s my own fault and I can do it, but I’m a little…um…stifled because of it. I don’t manage stress well.
I ate some shrimp today. Sorry.

I’m so jealous I could just spit.
I was sweaty too.
And pretty! I forgot to say you were pretty!
I like that I look younger just sitting with a 25 year old.
I wish I had super fans??!!
Single, 25 year old superfans!
[...] And I already knew Erica would rock the house. If only because both Kiala and I were so impressed with her purse and her over-night preparations that I’m pretty sure Erica will be president some day. CELL [...]
That guy in the red hat looks like he is one more Bad Day away from murdering someone.
Jesus, I don’t look 33 in that picture! I don’t. I look 31! Thank you superfan Erica! And thank you Khiels!
Can I just wallpaper my house with that picture???
Things you missed at the Alibi: Me butchering “Go With the Flow” by Queens of the Stone Age, Me mastering “Fat Bottomed Girls” by Queen, The gayest straight man alive commanding the crowd with “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley, the company of one 26 and two 25 year olds and finally me drinking 4 pitchers of PBR and being all around awesome. FOR SHAME Kiala.
OMG! I’m SO sorry, Joy. We walked from the Ambassador to Chopsticks and it took a million years.
I wish we’d made it. I want to see you sing. You finally broke your cherryokey!!!
And you missed it! That’s ok, it’s best not to stretch yourself too thin. We will get together soon and it will be glorious. Brad and Dane can talk about Hazel (boring!) and you and I can talk about cats and cat ownership in general (thrilling!). I’m glad you guys had fun!!
Lose Yourself? Really? Yeah, that’s a tough one.
You should stick to Weezer. You’ll always get a Portland crowd on your side with Weezer.
Man, where are my hot female superfans? Why no love for stoogepie?
You mentioned what everyone would be wearing and then no fashion shots?
Also, does Brody Jennerish have on a New Mexico Special Olympics t-shirt? And, if you look at the picture very, very closely, right around the neckline of that t-shirt, can’t you see that he is also wearing a gold medal underneath his shirt? Go Brody!
Am I the only one who thinks that someone who carries around a cell charger, a passport, a Greece t-shirt, and Michael Cunningham’s A Home at the End of the World is obviously ready to skip town if the po-po come knocking on the door? Well, am I?
nice. erica is a cutie. you guys need to make out more, and someone needs to film it.
Everyone needs someone in their life who always remembers to bring a phone charger. Preferably someone who has the same model phone.
