Hear ye hear ye!
I will crown my first official groupie at a special event on January 10 at Otto, which is at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 8th Street. We will start about 6pm, before the place gets mad crowded. We will finish when we're too crunk to continue.
The coronee will be Lisa Qiu, the lovely, talented, Italian-speaking and wine-mad NYU student who has graced these electronic pages with her witty comments and droll observations.
Special guests, I hope, will be Giampiero Nadali (Aristide), his very good friend Laura Buosi and, I believe, their pals Alessandro and Giorgia.
All are invited. But you come, you pay for your own drinks. Unless you're Lisa Qiu, of course. For her, nothing is too much and nothing is too good.
She's a good demographic, too.
I'll miss you all!
I'll be in Italy, and you all in America!
Non è giusto, ecco.
Merry Xmas, uncle Terry!

Terry. Uh oh, prease, prease prease don't make your Italian friend test me in my Italian! I had Lidia Bastianich do that to me at Otto the last time I went and beads of sweat were rolling down my forehead while I was conjugating.

"Prease prease prease?" Why are you perpetuating such steleotypes?
