Does that mean I can green light the frat's operations?

Continuing to play catch-up....

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

After work, we celebrated the holiday by heading to Henry's Hat for a special deal: 50% off food if you wear a hat; free round of green beer if you wear a green hat. How could we not?

Map, Chris, Lauren, and I began the night with a rousing game of "Sorry!' -- easily the best game to play at a crowded pub. In an exciting follow-up to the last time we played this game, I came from behind to win again! Whether the victory should be attributed to my Kamikaze or the luck of the Irish, Lauren and Map were especially bitter about my success.


After dinner, we headed to the Nuart, a cool art-house theater in West Los Angeles, to see a special screening of "Mystery Team," the first feature film by the hilarious "Derrick Comedy" group. After the movie, we stuck around for a Q&A with some of the Derrick Comedy guys, who told stories about creepy sexual deodorant commercials they turned down and how it was easier to stay on book when your writers are your actors. The film is heading to DVD this summer, and if you like watching G-rated characters stuck in R-rated situations, then you should check it out as soon as you can. It's funny, I promise.

We chatted with the guys outside the theater, and grabbed a picture in all our green gear. Lauren got a chance to tell her idol, Dominic, how much she loved the "Keyboard Kid" sketch he starred in. And I've got to admit, I've never seen Nick so starstruck!

Our blog catch-up is almost finished, but stay tuned for Erin's week of adventures with her parents, and Lauren's tales of fog-fighting at Manhattan Beach.

It's only fitting to end on an Irish blessing in honor of the holiday: Readers, may the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back!
