So last night I got together with reader, commenter, and friend Tam, who was in town with her daughter for the week. She’s renting an apartment in the city and offered to host me for a lovely dinner. I know, pretty awesome, right? How come you don’t offer to cook me dinner? Bastards. Anyway Tam is just as awesome in person as you would expect from her consistently hysterical comments. And her food is mmmmmmm!

We had an amazing time chatting, eating, and talking smack about all the other Dancing Monkeys of Puntabuland. And have I mentioned her daughter Kristen? Because she is adorable and I want to put her in my pocket so she can cheer me up during the day. Wait, do teenagers like being called adorable anymore? What’s the word these days? Rad? Gnarly? Oh goodness, I’m so out of touch. The desserts were my responsibility, which of course explains the store-boughtedness of them, but they turned out to be yummy too. Thanks for a great night Tam and Kristen!
Now on Sunday I’m meeting up with the utterly luscious VUBOQ and we’ll be attending the fantastically talented David’s show The Sorcerer! Woo!

I think I got a tooth ache from that last photo. My God, the two of you look sooo sweet and cute! Tam, you are pretty in pink.
Craig: You soooo don’t want me to cook you dinner. Nothng good could come from that.
I had a wonderful time. I’m sure she’d go for adorable but she was on her best behavior, after about a day and a half you’d be ready to send her back home I’m sure. We finished those desserts before bed. Yummy. I’m still on a sugar rush.
I’m going to David’s play on Friday so I’m looking forward to that. But really WHY must the damn fire truck go by here every morning at 6:30? Go another way already and let me sleep.
Thanks again for a fun evening and hope you aren’t too tired today after getting home so late.
Looks like too much in-breeding going on here, that is unless I am getting some of the action….
and why no pictures of Kristen?
Hayden you’re just jealous you’re not on the Puntabu-tour. And I need to protect Kristen from pervs such as yourself.
Hayden: I’m not sure why we had none of her. Hmmm. I’ll post one later when she’s awake.
Tam: even better yet take one of her while she is sleeping to embarrass her.
Craig: Dinner with Tam, a play with VUBOQ, Dave and Tam. Next it will be a sleepover with Dave S and Polt. What are your normal readers to think?
P.S. You are so right about the perv part…
Hayden: She’s 13, don’t make me have to come and kick your ass.
Hayden: Actually, Dave S. and I already had a sleepover, back in October when I went to Columbus. It was over a weekend, but we were in seperate rooms, of course. Mores the pity, that.
That looked like it was so much fun for you two! I won’t have an apartment in Toronto for us, Tam, so no cooking there. We’ll just have to go to Zelda’s!
And Craiggers, you certainly do not want me cooking anything for you. If it doesn’t involve a microwave, or isn’t deviled eggs, I can’t cook it. Course, maybe a few Lean Cuisines and a side of deviled egg would appeal to you, I don’t know?
HUGS…
Wow, David’s in a show? I must run out immediately and get tickets, as must every other Puntabulous reader in the tri-state area!
Looking forward to seeing you guys on Sunday. And Tam, be sure to swing by the stage door after the show on Friday and say hello! I’d love to meet you.
David: I wasn’t sure if that was too fangirly. Should I bring my autograph book?
We are looking forward to it.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever been referred to as “luscious” before … hm … but I’m looking forward to hanging out. You can bring the dessert!
John: I agree; Tam you looked great!
Oh, and Craig looked OK too.
BEER?!?!
There will be no beer when Tam and I meet up this weekend!
Enrico: No beer for you hunny bun, but that would be illegal and I can’t afford to spend time in an American prison. But Craig and I are way old so its okay for us.
Okay, I’m way old, but whatever.
Enrico, aren’t you legal this year? Not that it matters.
And Tam, I wanted to give you a more pervy related compliment, but it was early and I wasn’t sure if my filter was fully on line this am so I didn’t. Plus, you are in too close of proximity and I didn’t want to be murdered in my sleep tonight.
Craig: Re: the Jason Statham tweet comment: I didn’t know he was a competitive diver, no wonder he is in such good shape. The Transporter films are some of my favorite guilty pleasures. The second one is the worst, but the others are fun. Oh, and have you seen Crank? There is some “comedic romance” in there. I’m curious to see how awfully bad High Voltage is going to be…
I dont like it when blogs collide. You all are playing with the balance of the universe. If you don’t stop, we’re going to have… dare I say it… crossover posts. *cringe*
John: Yup, but I still plan on being alcohol free. Maybe until my wedding or something.
I’m jealous! I want to eat dinner with Craig and Tam!
When I move to New York in August, I will totally cook you dinner. I hope you like boiled Ramen and Diet Coke. If you can choke down whatever I “cook,” I’m actually a decent baker and have many delicious and fattening desserts I can offer.
I’m just jealous, since I haven’t been able to convince VUBOQ to come visit Maine yet. Some lame excuse about it being cold or something, which is, of course, only 11 months out of the year.
Speaking of Maine, though, should you ever make it up this way, I’d gladly make you dinner. I’m an excellent cook, despite my sad and sorry kitchen. My David raves over it all the time.
I want to know the real story…that third picture looks awful cozy!
It’s true Jonah. I think Tam was trying to seduce me with the idea of domestic bliss.
I knew it! when Tam asked you to bring the “dessert” did she have something else in mind?
Well she didn’t ask me to bring dessert, I forced it on her.
Which is how I assume you like to have the other “dessert”.
“Dessert” ususally follows 8 or 9 drinks and slipping a rufi in “my” girl’s (for the next few hours) drink…Is that what you mean?
One roofie colada coming up!
Craiggers, if that’s what it takes, I can pretend you’re forcing me. I’m a very good actor!
HUGS….
Here I am learning things and it isn’t even Tuesday!
I was wondering why everyone was so quiet today. Now I realize that I forgot to submit my comment this morning.
What a crappy time to be stuck on the west coast.
Craig, I’ve got a can of SpaghettiOs with your name on it.
Michelle M.: Today is really cold and windy. I’m looking forward to tomorrow and even more to Friday.
Cupcake – me too. We’ll have to get a drink sometime. Can’t let the East Coast have all the fun. Plus, I hear you have cupcakes…
I do have cupcakes. They don’t have paper cups, though.
Craig: Dates on two nights in a row! Have fun.
Jere: When you move to New York, I think I need to meet up with you and Craig one night. Since I’m meeting Tam on Saturday, I need to meet all the Puntabulous crew. So I can get both of you out of the way at one time.
Oh yeah, I was totally trying to get Craig to switch teams.
More likely if I was a guy I would have rolled over and let him have his way with me after those desserts.
I am pooped, a 12 hour hour day today pounding the pavement. God I hate Times Square, its like being a salmon swimming up-stream. We went to a fun off-Broadway show mocking New Jersey (sorry Enrico) so that was nice but I need a foot rub. Volunteers?
I’m just getting in on this due to being out sick yesterday.
And now I’m sickened even further with this permeating jealously! lol I’m *so* loving these photos. And I’m already picturing the hilarious conversation. Do I get Tam next? Pretty please?
Tam: I actually enjoy rushing through Times Square like a salmon. You get used to it.
Sorry Dave S., I get Tam next. Next weekend. Whoo-hoo! In Toronto!!!! WHoooo-hoooooo!!!
HUGS…
Well, by next I mean after Enrickyricardo, and possibly David both get her….I get her first AFTER her NY trip! That’s what I meant!!
HUGS…
The way you guys are passing Tam around…..Shameful!!!!!!
Mark: Have you seen her?!? She’s the hotness! I’m totally jealous because I have no plans to hit New York or Canada.
John: Yes I have and I agree. I’m just trying to look out for her honour.
Mark: That is very good of you, but I’ll totally respect her.
Damn, I’ve never been so popular. ::giant eye roll::
Mark: Thanks for looking out for my honor. Its appreciated.
Tam: When you told me you were going to NYC to investigate it’s eye candy potential I didn’t realise you were serious.
