So last night was the Idolator first-anniversary party, and as we mentioned, it featured sets by Monarch and My Teenage Stride (above, with lots of lights). Other highlights: a Jess-curated iPod mix, a few people who actually showed up because they were fans of the site, and lots of beer. That last part is why my walk down last night’s memory cul-de-sac is going to be pretty brief (although I would like to give props to Jess for including Janet Jackson’s criminally underplayed “When I Think Of You” on the night’s mix). But! Thankfully, Nikola Tamindzic was on hand, capturing it all on camera and reminding me of the number of times that I kind of made an ass of myself to people I’d never met before.

yeah… here’s me feeling really guilty…. it’s heroes, what am i supposed to do?
many apologies.
anywho, i really wish i did come, especially since monarch are like the coolest thing ever. i saw them back in june at fat baby, and i bought them drinks. they gave me a copy of the album in return, which i listen to way too much.
happy birfday!
I feel compelled to mention that I can only really relax my facial muscles in front of a camera if I’ve got my mustache on: [smg.photobucket.com]
So that party pic is kind of misleading.

Holy hell, yes. That is truly a fantastic song — that break in the middle and how it builds back up into the vocals.
Ha ha Dickdogfood evades the glare of the spotlight once again!
So anyway…who were most of those people? Did anyone find out?
glad I missed nerdfest. just as I suspected, bald and fat people!
@roosterocker: Um, dude, people who refer to themselves as “music archaeologists” shouldn’t be tossing any nerd-shaped stones. (And to think you were so happy to plug your blog when you first came on the scene here!)
@roosterocker: Why are you even here? What a douchebag.
i missed the commenter death cage match, must’ve gotten there too late. who won?
Where are the Ultragrrrl pics?
And, seriously, where are the beards? That was the beardiest party I have been to in some time.
Heroes could not compete — not while I have a Tivo, anyhow.
I am so, so, so sad I had to be in class last night. I really should have told my prof that John Dewey would approve of the internet, and specifically, Idolator.
@MTS: I love John Dewey. What are you reading? I’m reading a lot of Vygotsky right now. I have to summarize Mind in Society in 2 paragraphs. That’s crazy talk.
Hey, if you could send all unwanted fat and bald nerdmen to Chez Dogfood, it shore would be appreciated, thx.
LUCAS JENSEN/ MAURA: I owe you guys a serious apology. I am in fact a bald,fat, music nerd too. I was off my meds today so sorry. Maura I think you’re hot BTW!
I love ALL of you commenters.
Looks like a good time. I am jealous! I stayed home to watch Heroes… uh, in Los Angeles. Next year, I’ll hop one of those fancy new Virgin flights if someone will pick me up at JFK. (:
@Lucas Jensen: I had to read The Public & Its Problems. Good stuff, but probably nowhere near as fun as Idolator’s party.
