So Monday Night I spent some time with the delightful duo of @MizCity and @db. We hit Sea for Thai and then they asked if I was interested in “Absolute Shit Show Bingo”. Don’t know how they even thought I would say no. Also I wanted to raise a glass to the success of their respective Event Camp and Digital Somethings events during  Social Media Week NY.

We headed over to Tortilla Flats for Bingo Night and Boy, Howdy did I get my Shit Show. At the bar as soon as you walked in the door was CHRISTINE! (this is the only correct way to present her name. Punctuation does not do her justice).

CHRISTINE! looked like she lived hard and fast in the last half of the 70’s, all of the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. She was already firing on all cylinders when we sat down and just got better as the night went on. Everything from rhyming with the Bingo Caller, accosting other bar patrons to randomly yelling “OH MY GOD!! THIS IS WHITESNAKE!!!!!”.

But, the absolute highlight of the CHRISTINE! experience was the video above. Another woman at the bar looked strikingly like a young CHRISTINE! down to the precariously perched hair on top of her head. In an attempt to rip the fabric of the time space continuum old CHRISTINE! made young CHRISTINE! dance with her (themselves?). Moments later she gathered her light up Mardi Gras beads and disappeared into the great night.

The rest of Bingo was dedicated to her memory with everyone shouting their favorite CHRISTINE! moment out and “I miss CHRISTINE!” being echoed throughout the room.

10 points (and Happy Birthday!) to bartender Fabrizio for shattering the myth that you can’t get faced on a Monday night. Also born on this night the “Tortilla Flats Pact” was born. It entails that a true pal will let you know when it’s time to pour your drunk and or old ass in a cab and go home and stay there.

Edit: Damien shot me a message to remind me there is also a photo of the CHRISTINE!’s letting us know that the philosophy for life is contained in the pages of a Russell Simmons self help book. DO YOU, indeed ladies.
