lb_leeMac: The ER stole the spotlight there, but this past Saturday, me and Ro had a potluck celebrating our 16th get-together-versary! We had maybe 15 people show up?
And it was a good crowd! Nobody knew everybody, but everybody knew SOMEBODY (besides us, I mean). Mixed demographics: some were singlets who knew us through comics, others were plural friends from the meet-up, others were friends we met from other social stuff or past roommates. There was a lot of delicious homemade food, and I had fun circulating around talking to everybody.
People used to get up in our face about "shoving our relationship into other people's faces." (For all I know, they still do, but they have the common decency to do it behind our back where I don't have to hear it.) But you know what I so don't regret? Being able to have fun potluck parties in the park, eating homemade spring rolls, brownies, and potato salad. I don't regret that AT ALL. I LIKE having parties!
