Recap of the Non-Elitist Wine Party at Crush

Posted by lilith on January 25th, 2008 80 Comments

Hot holy hell that was fun. If you take a little saunter around the site, you’ll find some highly amusing drunk conversations in the comments, such as a debate over the quality of Wes Anderson’s more recent works. By the time that was being debated, I believe I had finished my Leffe and Lean Cuisine and was watching a French chick flick sideways– really hard to focus when you’re laying down on your couch. And tipsy. Who’s classy now?

How fun was your night?

Huge thanks to Gregg and Paul, who did an amazing job last night at Crush. If the thought of alcohol does not want to make you curl up in the fetal position and wail, they are doing another tasting this evening. They’re working with La Taza– you may purchase a bottle of wine at Crush and, for a small $5 corking fee, enjoy it across the street with dinner. The menu includes small plates, and I know cVillains will enjoy south-of-the-border approaches to cupcakes and bread pudding.

    Speaking of beer (was someone talking about beer?), here’s a news story about Heineken/Carslberg buying out Scottish & Newcastle. Mergers and acquisitions, fun fun fun.

    sorry I stood you up last night lilith. I promise to make it up to you.

    I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I went to an internet party… and loved it! Great wines, great food, great people, great times. I was glad there were so many vegetarians there, that BBQ was tastey. I’m assming it was from next door?

    I am sorry I had to leave so prematurely.

    speaking of beer
    spent the early night at Blue Mountain
    very nice place
    i wonder if they would want to do a tasting/party?
    sorry i missed crush

    Holy crap, women villains are hot. Had no idea that several of my “real world” crushes are villainettes. I may have to restrain myself and try not to come across so “oy’ish” - Lilith, can you edit my “question of the week” post and make the question something thoughtful, romantic, deep, philosophical, etc. Chicks dig that shit.

    X was *insane* (did we actually pay our tab? Do I owe someone for a couple of Widmers?). I’ve never, ever ever seen it that packed - even Toga and Disco night didn’t draw that many people.

    We were crammed in so tight that I think I’m no longer an anal virgin…

  9. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:22 am9Bukbukbegak said:

    not as sorry as you’re gonna be!

    whatever that means

  10. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:24 am10Bukbukbegak said:

    yeah X was nuts…i never go but these lawyer broads dragged us there against our will. Needless to say i was there for an hour and was able to snatch a round of drinks. Soco lime??7 dollars?? are we in effin new york. give me a break. but the chicks were hot, and gonna be rich some day so i guess i’m ok with it.

  11. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:33 am11ThatGrrl said:

    Damn, but that was a lot of fun. Let me know if I unknowingly owe more money from X. I left $8 for a $4 beer, so I was hoping to help cover some of the food items, too. They don’t swipe tips at X, do they? Kidding! And big thanks to the guys at Crush. What a total, all out party. You guys rock!

  12. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:38 am12Thor said:

    quite simply, I love everyone. Thanks for coming out. I totally was amazed at how many cute girls were there. WOW. Keep coming!

  13. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:47 am13Tim said:

    X was indeed insane, as everyone has attested, but the music was totally sweet (PS: ThatGrrl has excellent musical tastes). Luckily, my headache is not insane. I’m not sure we ever paid since we were just trying to get kicked out…but if anybody did pay, I’d be happy to throw some money your way, especially since I ordered extra food for myself.

    And they may have been wasted comments, but I still stand by what I said about Wes Anderson. And parlie’s mom.

  14. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:06 am14parlie said:

    i can’t believe you don’t shut up.

  15. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:07 am15oy said:

    was I right to read that in an “Apu” voice?

  16. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:08 am16mc said:

    whoa, what kinda drunkies would debate Wes Anderson on a Thursday night? crazy…. And who is Parlie?

    I woke up with a flower in my passenger seat. happy!

    What french film, Lilith? If you say Une Femme est une Femme, I’m gonna love you!

  17. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:09 am17Donk said:

    Damn it.. I’m such a flake. I missed yet another event, but only because I was called into work right before it started. I’m totally prioritizing the next cVillain thing… when free alcohol & bbq aren’t at the top of the list, I’ve clearly lost my focus.

  18. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:20 am18parlie said:

    BANANA BREAD!? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?

    parlie is not a secret. just go do some figgerin’.

  19. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:20 am19mc said:

    Also, pay all tabs to Hipster “I like turtles” Doofus.

  20. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:20 am20lilith said:

    I do like that one a LOT, and Godard in general (Breathless), but… Paris Je T’aime.

  21. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:29 am21mc said:

    oh don’t worry, parlie, I know who you are. Is that creepy? probably.

  22. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:30 am22ThatGrrl said:

    Thanks for the props, Tim! And Tim rocks the best air guitar around, folks. Seriously. Like in an “I’ve appeared on the BBC and am considering an east coast tour”kind of way.

    Hey, what are all these colored dots all over my coat?

  23. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:31 am23mc said:

    oh, that is a lovely film. Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, check out Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It’ll have you humming for weeks.

  24. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:41 am24Tim said:

    Haven’t seen Paris Je T’aime yet, but Umbrellas (or Parapluies if you want to get snobby) an absolutely beautiful film, and seeing a young Catherine Deneuve is always a pleasure. Too bad it had such a downer ending.

  25. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:48 am25parlie said:

    It’ll have you humming for weeks.

    so will an irish blowjob.

  26. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:52 am26Stanley said:

    The last French film I saw was Delicatessen, which I recommend highly.

    Otherwise, I’m a complete novice on French film and am humbly netflixing the films mentioned so far, so as to seem more worldly andsophistiqué.

  27. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:54 am27Gobbler said:

    Good for you parlie. Stalk or be stalked, i always say.

  28. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:57 am28oy said:

    mmm, young Catherine Deneuve - Belle de jour. Naked and tied to a tree - what’s not to like?

    Or, even better, The Hunger - naked girl on girl with Susan Sarandon (bonus - David Bowie as a vampire)

    (this is the part where I smack folks who feel the need to point out that CD and SS used body doubles for their nekkid lovefest)

  29. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:58 am29WTLUCMDK said:

    You like being stalked….?

    Wait’ll you see my dick!

  30. 25 Jan 2008 at 10:59 am30parlie said:

    i was at the national gallery (of art!) yesterday, and saw a warhol quote;

    in the future, everybody will be famous for 15 minutes.

    so i’m basking.

  31. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:01 am31Bukbukbegak said:

    between the french films and the unwelcome cockshowings, i don’t know what the write. i mean usually i can think of some arrogant, cocky yet witty statement, but there’s just too much going on and i’m not sober enough to deal with ya’ll yet

  32. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:01 am32icenine said:

    I had a great time as well. Lots of fun, good conversation, and tasty alcohol…

    Thanks to everyone I got to meet and chat with…I’ve finally been de-verginized, cVillain style ;-)

  33. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:03 am33parlie said:

    so… WTLUCMDK showed you the back room?

  34. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:05 am34Bukbukbegak said:

    yeah and the living room and the dining room…whatever that means

  35. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:07 am35parlie said:

    BBBG, you’re better than that. get it together.

  36. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:11 am36Silmo Syrup said:

    Thanks to the nice villains, CRUSH, and all the other people. I understand we were kicked out of X. For dancing on the tables??? I can only assume.
    Thanks to all

  37. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:16 am37Bukbukbegak said:

    BBBG? i like that. bed bath and begone

  38. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:17 am38Bukbukbegak said:

    not unlike my drunken awakening this morning

  39. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:23 am39belmont yo said:

    I prefer “Bed Bath and Your Mom” or “Bloodbath and Beyond” myself.

  40. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:24 am40parlie said:

    sometimes i’m really surprised we have any friends.

  41. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:24 am41buster said:

    @25 - mmmmfmfmffmfmfmmfffm. (that’s an LOL during an irish blowjob?)

    someone needs to make a drink called that. maybe you just shoot the shooter part of an irish carbomb with your lips?

  42. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:26 am42Bukbukbegak said:

    yeah well if i start saying bloodbath in reference to how i awoke, people might start to wonder. And i don’t need anybody wondering.

    wondering onedering onedriiink

  43. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:29 am43Gobbler said:

    Parlie, take some comfort in the fact that you are always “welcome to the internet”.

  44. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:30 am44parlie said:

    @41: that’s a good start, but somebody has to punch you in the face to complete the shot. otherwise it’s not irish.

  45. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:34 am45buster said:

    @ 44: oh, excellent! or maybe someone punches you in the face prior to the shot, you bleed into it, and then take it to dull the pain? could we get an entire crew over to blue light to try this? or is it too soon… ?

  46. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:35 am46Bukbukbegak said:

    Yeah and you have to have an alcoholic father who just copes with his unhappy marraige. otherwise it’s not irish.

  47. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:36 am47Bukbukbegak said:

    we actually have a shot at mcgrady’s called the irish blow job, but you have to go into the bathroom for 5 minutes with the bartender while he makes it.

  48. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:39 am48parlie said:

    it’s a collaborative effort.

  49. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:51 am49Gobbler said:

    that’s great, guys….

    Sure was a good party last night. What was everyone’s favorite wine?

    I liked #1 - /forgot the name.

  50. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:52 am50Thor said:

    I was a fan of #1 and #4. Def did not like #2.

  51. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:56 am51icenine said:

    #3 was my fave.

  52. 25 Jan 2008 at 11:57 am52ThatGrrl said:

    @39: Yay! Simpson’s quote from B’Yo! I always call BB&B “Bloodbath and Beyond.”

    Think I’m skipping the Irish blowjob. Particularly if there is a yuppy spawn fight I could watch, instead.

    My fave was 3. The red wine with every grape imaginable.

  53. 25 Jan 2008 at 12:01 pm53lilith said:

    I liked the expensivest one.

    parlie’s Irish?

  54. 25 Jan 2008 at 12:24 pm54caroline said:

    #28 oy, I could not agree with you more, mmmmm….young Catherine Deneuve.
    @29 WTLUCMDK gross. no thank you.

  55. 25 Jan 2008 at 12:38 pm55Buckingham Chickie said:

    Much thanks to Crush for hosting last night. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to trying out the bottle of wine we bought. I enjoyed meeting some villains, who are all very nice in person. I’m a bit bummed now that we left early, since it sounds like we missed a great after party.

  56. 25 Jan 2008 at 12:42 pm56lilith said:

    It was awesome to meet you, BC and Mr. B!

  57. 25 Jan 2008 at 2:12 pm57Buckingham Chickie said:

    Eeekkk, don’t do that to me. I was so going to ignore the fact that I may have met you and refrain from trying to guess who you were in my mind. Now you have ruined that and my mind is in overload mode. Heh, I’m sure it was great meeting you, also, as I enjoyed talking to everyone that I met.

  58. 25 Jan 2008 at 2:21 pm58fdr said:

    I definitely liked Wine #3 (the Zin/Cab/kitchen sink blend) best. Sadly, I wasn’t able to fully appreciate any of the beers (not even the Chimay) in the context of trying the wine. Too much for my senses, I guess.

    Nice to meetchy’all!

  59. 25 Jan 2008 at 2:26 pm59fauxflooz said:

    So, who wound up wearing the Floozy nametag when the night ended?

  60. 25 Jan 2008 at 2:34 pm60oy said:

    So, who wound up wearing the Floozy nametag when the night ended?

    H-D - while wearing a sheep-costume in heels and thigh-highs. Pictures were taken, money is being extorted.

  61. 25 Jan 2008 at 2:40 pm61lilith said:

    What does everyone think about posting pictures? Yupster has a bunch. Did anyone else? If you email them to me at cvillainlilith@gmail.com I could post them, but no names. Unless you’re wearing a nametag in the picture, in which case you’re screwed. Of course, I could Photoshop them too. WHATEVER.

    Whatevs. No biggy. Obvi.

    /idk my bff jill

    I doubt I’m in any, but if I am, I have no problems with them being posted.

    Thanks to all villains for attending…hope you liked the food/wine/beer… people were just as i expected, relaxed, fun loving and not stuck on stupid…disapointed I didn’t know who Lillith was missed 2O4, belmont yo, floozy ect. Best Wine Advice Given Last Night: Lightly perfumed, elegant and graceful, delicate with a light swish and nicely fruity are all excellent characteristics of a sommelier.

  65. 25 Jan 2008 at 3:01 pm65Bukbukbegak said:

    @62 - me paying the bill, that’s what’s snf

  66. 25 Jan 2008 at 3:35 pm66belmont yo said:

    So just as a point of clarification… did you all get 86′d for *actually* dancing in an elevated manner, or was that a joke.

    /missed the fun.

  67. 25 Jan 2008 at 3:42 pm67Tim said:

    There was indeed elevated dancing, and we have photographic proof.

  68. 25 Jan 2008 at 3:47 pm68belmont yo said:

    And was it against the rules? Thats what I getting at…

  69. 25 Jan 2008 at 4:12 pm69Silmo Syrup said:

    apparently they frown on it there

  70. 25 Jan 2008 at 4:16 pm70Floozy said:

    A belated thank you to my 2 impostors last night… I believe the saying goes ” Imitation is the highest form of flattery”….. just surprised you didn’t get your asses kicked by a bunch of NBC29 anchors.

  71. 25 Jan 2008 at 4:32 pm71belmont yo said:

    oooh… hadn’t thought of that, flooz. maybe its better I couldn’t go!

  72. 25 Jan 2008 at 6:08 pm72mc said:

    yupster… please leave me out of your photo submissions. You know I’m shy. But I would like to see some photos, so maybe email a couple? Do you know my address?

  73. 25 Jan 2008 at 7:15 pm73Silmo Syrup said:

    yes please to send me all pictures, i eill photoshop heads onto photos of naked people having sex stuff and post on my new site CharlottesvilleFucknuts.com

  74. 25 Jan 2008 at 7:36 pm74doofus said:

    Silmo, you may not have to break out the photoshop (at least not on the pictures of you)

  75. 25 Jan 2008 at 8:08 pm75caroline said:

    doof and silm, date next week since i missed the partay?

  77. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:22 pm77lilith said:

    Just saying, I’m going to asscafe tonight (love it) and stealing Yupster’s drinks and I hope to see some villains there. And criminals. I’m equal opportunity!

  78. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:25 pm78caroline said:

    lilith, I wanna make out with you.

  79. 25 Jan 2008 at 9:29 pm79lilith said:

    I know, I kinda wanna make out back… but my brother has the car this weekend, and there’s this guy in the AV club, and it’ll be totally complicated when we’re changing for swimteam practice on Monday, right?

    I’m grinning over here. :)
