I love this because I'm kinda sorta, not as grand, doing the same thing on Sunday. I'm going to a party where I (barely) know the host. The thought that he might find my post today is HILARIOUS to think about because he doesn't even have FACEBOOK. So if that guy finds my blog, then he was doing his research. As for you, OH EM GEE, I am so proud of you and would like to thank you personally for going out on a limb for your readers. BLAH BLAH BLAH. Are you going to see him again? Has he DMed you about this post? Should I call him out in a tweet so he reads this then comes to fly to rescue you and sweep you off your feet? If he thinks your'e a creepster, then he's not worth crushing on. If he doesn't, then crush away. I bet he doesn't. I bet he reads this, smiles, laughs, and then sends you naughty messages in British speak. KEEP ME (read: US!!!!) POSTED! LOVE YOU! I LOVE THIS!

I see why Jenny Blake is so in love with you. I met her through, um, TWITTER! Awesome story, and awesome impression of Brits being generally weird and awkward with their pronunciation and/or general being-ness. I love them, but like, come on! And p.s: You're a great story teller and writer. Keep it up! Wow. I see why Jenny Blake is so in love with you. I met her through, um, TWITTER!

I can just picture you wincing under the covers while keeping your fingers firmly on the keyboard to finish this post! You don't need the liquid courage, but it certainly makes for a funny story. I half-agree with the other Amy that you may have regretted it later (how often do handsome strangers randomly invite one out to posh clubs in London?) but sometimes when you know you should stay in, you're allowed to stay in. The last time I was randomly invited to a fancy VIP party in London, I downed so many shots they all came back up. I completely forgot about the incident until I read your post. Ah, memories. Thanks for sharing the latest excerpt from your days! Can't wait to read about your next adventure. Jamie, you break my heart!

A few years ago the idea of a party where I knew nobody would freak me out, I would just have sad visions of myself being a wallflower. Now, like you, I'd probably say "why not?" Glad you had a good time :) I love this — I don’t know if it’s getting (slightly) older but I find myself much less socially-anxious these days.

I totally applaud you for going, and you have NOTHING to be embarrassed about. I hate to say that I'd probably have opted for the "chicken out, sit in my pjs and eat B&Js" scenario, and then totally regretted it later! So , GOOD JOB! (and now you'll never have the thought of, "what would it have been like if I'd have gone")... plus, its super fantastic to be able to say you were at a really great party at a members only club... - Amy AWESOME!

And then overshare the details the following day, knowing full those individuals read your blog. Strong work, Varon.
