27 Dinner – More Than 27 Excuses to Misbehave

So tonight is the 27dinner, one of the hottest events on the Nerd Calendar. The sign-up list always fills up in about 2.5 seconds after opening. Unlike last time, when SheBee and I had to bribe certain people,  with offers of boobie pictures, to give up their seats so we could attend, we managed to sign up on time. Mostly because The Goose sms’d to remind and prod us to do so.

This time around it’s being held at FTV in Village Walk in Sandton. The yummylicious Justin Spratt, General Manager of WiFi and VOIP mobile businesses at Internet Solutions, is the star speaker of the evening. If you’re anything like me, you probably wont hear a word that comes out of his gorgeous lips, instead you will be hoping he turns around so you can get a glimpse of his totally-spankable bottom. Stephen Newton, country manager for Google is also scheduled to speak – let’s hope he’s as pretty to look at as Justin is!

I had a squiz at the sign up list, and I can tell you that I will be having a shooter or twenty seven with the stunning Melody Maker, whose hard work makes all these geek-elbow-rubbing events possible. I don’t get out the house much, and she has promised me that we will be severely badly behaved tonight. I will also be catching up on gossip with The Bee and The Goose – The Terrible Threesome will be reunited tonight, so please excuse any diva-like behaviour. And by diva-like behaviour, I mean excessive consumption of alcohol, loud snorting with laughter and general mayhem and poor decorum. I also can’t wait to catch up with The Goose’s gorgeous sister Blondore. Why? Because birds of a [blonde] feather should flock together!

I look forward to meeting Paul Jacobson and his gorgeous wife, Gina, and most likely ending up in fisticuffs over who has the most gorgeous and smart child in the world. Hopefully we can settle our differences over a few alcoholic beverages, and agree to disagree. I can’t wait to trade insults with Guy Taylor, who, incidentally, told me I have very soft hands. I don’t know whether to be insulted, flattered or flattened. And apparently, I’m a sinner too. Whatever that means. Speaking of sinners, Neal (@blindcripple) has decided to join us from Kak Cape Town. Reason for his trip? I think it might have something to do with rubbing (more than) elbows with SheBee.

I am excited about saying more than two words (like last time) to EveD – maybe this time we’ll have a proper conversation and actually exchange entire sentences, complete with verbs, pronouns and whatnot. So Eve, join me and Melody for some shooters? Kerry Haggard will also be there – a fellow bad mommy – can’t wait to exchange mommy war stories with her over dinner. Also on my To Meet list – Mel Attree – come find me, let’s smash some wine together!

One of my favourite pre-twitter chinas, SaulK will also be there, probably clutching his macbook and holding Vincent Hoffmann‘s hand. Hey Vince, where the eff is my Moral Fibre t-shirt  dude? I also want to be telling the world (via my chest) not to let anyone fuck with my dreams! I plan to have an indepth conversation with HansMol about two minute noodles, I look forward to sniffing Elan Lohmann, who apparently wears one of my favourite colognes – Farenheit.

I will more than likely land up groping, and rubbing boobies with the gorgeous Cherylann, elbowing Bergen Larsen in the ribs and pinching Mike Stopforth’s bottom. Thankfully CraigN wont be taking any pictures (sorry about that robbery dude) of my cleavage, but I’m sure @za5 will be there, fully attached to his camera.

Furthermore, general chaos and debauchery is likely to happen with the following bitches: Laurakim, msbehavn, pinkhairgirl, rozz, singlesyllable, nafisa, Miss Sparkles, Samantha Perry and Heather Ford. My manly bitches: chopman, fridgi, flavid, garth custers and shaun custers, idigdesign, donpackett, walter pike and Aki - I look forward to seeing you guys too!

To everyone else attending: what’s a girl got to do to get you to buy her a drink around here?

   Hell Yeah – bitches rock. I hope everyone is ready for us.

   Bad news though – Blondore and Shaun Custers will not be making it. My sis is taking her 2 best friends to the airport as they are off to work on cruise ship (jealous grumbles) and Shaun is continuing his 27 avoidance – I still have no idea why.

   So anyone who wants Blondore’s space – grab it. Unfortunately she cannot “unregister” as her employers have blocked the interwebs.

   Ah, I must clarify – Shaun has to work so we don’t end up in the poor house – my new car (Yes, I got a new car!!!) is costing a FORTUNE!

   So my poor embattled ginger is not to be shat on – mmkay?
