Just want to say how much fun it was last night hanging with the Radio Buddies; meeting some old friends and meeting some new ones; and watching a really horrible hockey game.
Crazy Jen somehow made it, even though she was banned from the show and they gave away her tickets on the air. She swears that she went and bought the tickets from the ticket office, and they just happened to be in the JFK area! Who woulda thunk it!
RageCage, Mikeyboy, Yerrdaddy, the Noids (Cherry & Perry), David Lee Elfish, LateToTheParty, Halloween Goddess (I hope she shares her horror story of the night), Cigar Sid and MANY others including listeners and fans, were all there, laughing and drinking and trying to cheer the pathetic Caps. WHat a great bunch of people - the fans, not the Caps.
The nervous highlight for me was finally fessing up (in hushed, whispered tones) to Ron, and then Fez, what ridiculous screen name I post on here as. It was cool to get the recognition, but then Ron instantly brings up some of the blathering I wrote about here! OY!
"I swear I'll behave now!"
He would hear nothing of it.
Fez just shook his head in disappointment, and I swear a tear trinkled down his left cheek - I think it was a tear.
Then, some point in the 3rd period, I turn and thank WB for the tickets, and then (!) HE "outs" me to all sitting around, asking me if I am "KOP."
Damn!
The cover is blown. R&F knowing was one thing, but now it was out there!
"And is it 'Kop' or 'K-O-P?'"
Panic set in, as a horrible avalanche of attention beginning with RageCage's eyes lighting up, as my Entertainment and my Real Life come crashing, smashing, and splashing together. I half expected my face to be flashed on the jumbo tron, with "KOP - He Is An Internet Messageboard Asshole" to scrolled at the bottom of the face.
(Of course, I am just as guilty - when some random listener came over to us and introduced himself as "Kevin" I began to wonder which Kevin from this board he was - we have so many. I really wish I had printed the "My Name Is" thread and had it ready to grill him...so to speak).
Other highlights were Ron and Fez kissing during the kissing cam during a TV timeout, Wendell beating up the Caps mascot, Crazy Jen and Elfish racing the Zamboni's during the first intermission, Yerrdaddy getting dragged away because he said that "AOL Sucks," and all 19,000 people screaming "Baba Booey" when they announced it was 'Ron and Fez Night.'
Seriously, it was a lot of fun. Everyone was really cool, and the atmosphere (even with the Caps sucking) was really laid back and relaxed. Maybe too laid back - it got very spooky quiet during the second half of the game - but it did have the feeling of being out with good friends.
Thanks to Wonderboy (how do you pronounce it: Wagner, or Vagner? - HA!), Ron, Fez, and the Caps for pulling it all together.
