Last night wasn't bad at all. I got a really nice free dinner (wine, appetizer, and dessert included). Met some VERY interesting people. Most of the night I talked with this one guy (currently practicing artist, but came from the 70's). I thought he was about 70 years old, but Jennifer informed me that he was only 55. Must have been all the drugs. Seriously though, this guy has the long crazy hair, gestures wildly, and if he was from the states i swear he would have said "man" at the end of every sentence. He is a total hermit. I guess it was a big deal he came out to dinner. BUT ANYWAY, despite his hermit like existence he was very up on new technology, and Jeff and Jen you would have LOVED talking to him. Poor him, got stuck trying to talk to me about math and geometry on they molecular level, and how everything can be reduced down to that and how he thought it was an artists responsibility to represent what technology can't see yet. When i said, oh my friend did research in nanotechnology he said "oh what did he do?" then I said "SHE did something with something...it was over my head." then he went off on this tangent about molecules and I think silicone and all I could think was, I bet Jen and Jeff would love this guy.
Then there was this famous Asian photographer that was there...again, these people were wasted on me. But he was very nice, he spoke very broken english, but he seemed genuinely interested in what i was saying and what i was doing in Australia.
its 5pm, i will write more tomorrow.

I'm just going to imagine the party was like the Franz Ferdinand "Do You Want To" video. Crazy artsy people!
That guy sounds awesome! I wish he was at the bar last week when I tried to tell a room full of people I didn't know that all the tables had 96 dimensions... i miss you guys, you wouldn't have looked at me funny!
