I'm The Zap Queen
A few of my single girlfriends and I went to this wonderful event that S.Y found on the web. The name of this lovely gathering? One Key Away. The idea? Every person gets a key with their personality embedded into it. You zap a lucky/unlucky other person with the key and it will light up with a color code. Green if you are compatible and red if you guys should be shooting each other instead. Other colors in between. Let me describe the scene:
We're at this (wannabe) swanky wine bar all nervous with keys in our hand. All of us girls are basically zapping each other the whole night praying that none of the guys will get near us. Why?
70% gorgeous ladies--seriously. Some of these girls were really good looking and had great personalities.
30% REALLY nerdy guys. REALLY. Sometimes when it's like that you find they have wonderful personalities or something really unique about them. Not in this case. Oh no. Not here. Although some were really forward and I was scared. They were not getting near my key. I was not zapping them. I did not want to find I was a green with some of them.
The funny thing was, some of the guys were complaining they were a red with everyone but a lot of the girls were green with everyone (including other girls)--they were even in the middle colors with the "red" guys. Some just are not lucky in love I guess.
So that was my first and last experience. I kinda hid with my friend Esther and then we drank several wines in hopes that some of the guys would turn cuter. No avail. It was great. Not too much later we ditched the scene and we went to The Yardhouse to salvage the night. We had tons of fun there and there were surprisingly a plethora of cute guys that we did not have to pay to talk to. How easy things look after a night of freakish zapping.

hmmmm. With 70% attractive and available women, I think I wish I were in town for this event.
Wow, what a funny, strange evening. I love that you embrace awkward experiences, as I do, not as a disaster, but as a potentially awesome story to tell!
Thank Ari!! Hope all is well, it sounds like it from your blog! Miss you.
