I am such a mondosapore groupie, I can't wait for a little post holiday
party. Trust me, little creeps me out---- maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger.
A night out to get crunk with a master?!!!??!?! Count me in!
Lisa Qiu, your fan.
Thus has the lovely and talented Lisa Qiu, official mondosapore groupie, said yes yes yes I will yes to doing a wine thingie for her official coronation as MWG. This event will be in January, date TBD, as Lisa has many fans in many places, and her Blackberry is in the shop for repairs.
Even so, I hope we can celebrate this wonderful occasion in the period from Jan. 7 - 10, when Aristide, eminence blog of Italian wine, will be visiting our fair city. It would be nice if more Young People could attend the event, including the lovely and talented Sarah Newton all the way from Rome. Probably not, but we live in hope.
Lisa also wrote, "Oh, and you can show those punks who think I'm ugly this picture."
I can hear David Bowie in the background singing, Lisa, that song...
Awww what a lovely thought.
However could certainly be persuaded into a shindig in fair NYC the next time I'm over.
Babbo any good?
Sarah

Ummm-- Terry--?
Lisa *is* into older guys, right?
(just had my first Loin of Cow-- all 400 grams of it-- to celebrate a month in Argentina, last Tuesday, followed up by a Pork version last night. So my usually quiet, monkish libido is acting up. Will post more soon: recovering adman opens lovely patio restaurant hideway while studying Architecture!)
Air quality is the pits here & puts a cramp on my running, pitching my little project to the Mendoza wine industry is like trying to make friends with a Politburo composed of deposed royalty...but I'm sticking around for awhile:
NYC for my NYU graduation Silver aniversary, end of May...

Air quality may be bad but what about the wine?? You must let us know.
Sarah, you're on! Sorry you'll miss the coronation of Lisa as MWG though.

Ah man, I wish Sarah would join us.
Do you know that I used to work at Babbo? That's right, if we go we'll get the hook up. The GM loves me.
Actually, they're wayyy nicer to me at Otto. Sparking wine on the table (compliments) as soon as I sit.
Let's go on the 10th, a Wednesday! I--- AM --- SO---- excited.

Hm, that could be good, m'dear. Otto would be fun. Anybody else on for the occasion? You'll get your picture on mondosapore...

And, you can't bring David J unless he eats only salad.

Hey Lisa
No I didn't know you used to work at Babbo!
Kudos...
You know the 10th is a Thursday?
I know this because the 11th is my 28th Birthday and I know its on a Friday cos that almost never happens (its like a 1 in 7 chance! lol)
Much love to you all
Sarah

Gabrio, keep your horny mitts off my groupie. She is pure!

I see groupie-jealousy rearing its green horns.

Ah, such is the way of the world...
Terry, you might set Lisa's mind at relative ease by explaining I am a danger only to myself...
Happy Holidays from dusty Mendoza to all.
