I also recommend a vodka martini "up" at the Gotham Bar and Grill next time you're in town.

It is, to quote a dipsomaniacal co-worker of mine, "the very best martini you're likely to find in this country or any other."

Surprisingly that's almost the exact image I had in my head of what you looked liked from listening to gwj/escapist radio.

Damn, I'm a good photographer! :P And you guys were having way too much fun, such that it needed documentation.

Also, Skunk Spray Jelly Bellies are of the Devil. >.<

Fun write-up, Russ!

Now you've done it, I'm sitting here trying to think up the coolest possible five words. (And failing.)

Incidentally, Mojitos are Caipirinhas for wusses. ;-P

Five-word speeches? I'm sure the Oscars could do with that - we could be in and out in under an hour if we cut out all the wittering on.

Good to see that gaming/web award ceremonies are starting to go upscale, though, steak and (I assume) free booze? Damn, I've got to start breaking into the industry.

And masochistic Jelly Bellys? Want...

One of the reasons I love the Escapist: the first page of an article about the Webby Awards is mostly about booze and exotic jelly beans.
