You know… this ‘active’ social life thing is such a change for me. Back only a few months ago, you’d see me out maybe once or twice a month. Now it seems I’m out 3 or 4 times a week! It’s an oversaturation if you ask me…. who really needs that much of me? I mean, if we keep this up pretty soon I’ll have a girlfriend and then I’ll be engaged, probably because of a ‘happy mistake’ and then I’ll be moving to some awfully small city where I say hello to all the neighbours every morning and you’ll never see me again! Do you really want that people?! Can you really handle me with kids living in somewhere like “Kincardine” or “Flesherton” or “Port Hope“?
You know, to be completely honest, half the time I’d probably enjoy just as much staying at home and doing nothing but staring at the wall. I’m not even kidding. As a true introvert, the idea of sitting at home starring at the wall actually appeals to me. I might even do laundry if I’m feeling giddy. But that being said, I’ve begun to break my introverted shell and actually enjoy some of the things going on in the city. In truth, I have some PR companies to thank for that. Your earned media tactics have given rise to a potential monster! The allure of being with people I typically like, and not having to pay for food or drinks is the cause for my sudden rise in social activity. (Maybe I should be dating someone in PR so it all comes full circle?)
One such event, the Andrew Richards Design #SummerSecret event had high expectations. I was told it was THE event of the summer. That’s some incredibly high standards to live up to… but they did not disappoint!
First, walking in and looking around nearly gave me a heart attack or an orgasm I’m not exactly sure what it was… but god damn every single person in that room was hot! The young girls working were stunning, obviously… but even the women who were pushing 50 and even a couple near 60 were hot! It was wild. Pretty people club that I somehow got invited to.
Second, drinks drinks drinks. Belvedere (my favourite), along with Steamwhistle, Moet Champagne and basically everything else you could ever want.
Third, Food! Liquid nitrogen *instant* ice cream… lobster rolls (which were insanely amazing) from E11even… smoked salmon… the list goes on and on.
I’m not going to go any further because it’s enough already. The event was, so far, the best event of the year. One hopes I can wrangle an invite next year and suggest you do too! Best way to do that? Follow them on Twitter @ARD_Furniture + @ARDEvents. And check them out on Facebook.
