This post should have appeared sometime around September 12 or 13th, whenever the vicious hangover actually subsided, if memory serves that would have been about halfway through the 13th.
My brothers boyfriend works for the Television Academy, due to this we were allowed to attended the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The Creative Arts Emmys are used to get out all the awards that would really bore the folks at home, thus making the regular Emmys even harder to watch. They are held each year one week before the actual Emmys at the same venue, so you get all the Emmy excitement minus some celebrity munching and hassle, plus according to those in the know, a better meal.
We didn't much care to see the show, we mainly wanted the free food and open bar so we showed up for only the last 15 minutes of the show. What little we did see of the actual ceremony was nice, having never been inside the Shrine before I was rather impressed with it's grandeur.
Rapidly the show ended and we found our way to the Governor's ball. The food and drink really hit the spot. And the drink continued to hit the spot all night long. A highlight for Amy and I was being told by an Emmy nominated costume designer that we had the best outfits there... Imagine me in my 5 dollar suite and Amy a/ pink Mohawk and tie the best dressed in the lot... Amy maybe.
The night was fun, we talked to many different folk and had many different drinks. In the end we met a nice condescending couple who wanted to take us home and do terrible things to our person, we had to decline. Looking around in those last precious ballroom moments I realized that the entire event was over, and once again as it goes with open bar events, Amy and I were the last to leave.
