The Aftermath
April 19, 2007 at 9:34 pm Alex Newkirk 10 comments
Look, Katsopo-Gavinites–there’s been a lot of talk about our valiant confrontation last night with Dean of GavinSucks.com. Rest assured that I am not here to apologize for Maggie and I’s crusade at all, nor am I here to enter into all the ugly talk over whether it was a feat worthy of Magz and I’s stellar reputations. Um, when Washington crossed the Delaware, did snarky onlookers accuse him of “schoolyard antics,” or “shameless PR stunts?” No. Because he was standing up for what he believed in, and so it was with Maggie and I last night.
In short, TMathletes, we had no choice. When it comes to defending The Mayor, his BFF The Hair, or the collective locks of the unstoppable force of godlike hotness that is JesseGav…Maggie and I will absolutely go all out. It wasn’t easy to walk into a fine San Francisco establishment like Fritz and engage in a public battle for Gavin’s honor, as you know Magz and I relish our usual Wednesday night routine of homemade bean casserole and breaking out the Pledge to dust off our porcelain doll collections. But we sacrificed. We did it.
I was riding a stormy ocean of adrenaline, my delicate hands shaking as we embarked upon our heroic campaign, but as soon as I made eye contact with Dean’s smug Gavin-bashing mug, I knew Magz and I were on the side of righteousness.
You’re welcome, Katsopolistas and Gavinites. You’re welcome.

I’m reserving judgement.
But I totally thought that looked like Vincent’s work before I read it was. I’m so great.

Oh, Conlan! You know The Mayor & The Hair family all too well! Though, I suppose that makes sense considering how you, my friend, are a part of it. Yes, you’ve got a nice big ol’ seat at the table of JesseGav–eat, drink, and indulge in the feast and good times. Care to pass the potatoes?

I abhore violence of any kind upon hopeless attention deprived and men who wear white on a cloudy day.
You spilled red wine on a white shirt, aside from the serious fashion phoobah, you have left a mark on yourselves.
I have to say that is a great drawing.
I hope Guy and Conlan’s sister are happy together.

this is what i’ve been trying to say. you can’t judge maggie and alex for what some of you may think was wrong. they stood up for what they believed in. anything it takes to finish the job…
that chick-
conlan’s sister is probably half my age [literally]. it wouldn’t work. plus, i doubt she could relate to me: 80′s hair band solo re-enactments, d&d dress ups, and the oh so sweet 4 day-a-week full house and saved by the bell live action role playing. to lay it all out, her presence reminded me of a young leslie burke [saved by the bell - the college years]. although, tbs needs to hurry up and get awesome…the college year episodes are all they’ve really been playing as of late. aside from the stereotypical college antics, the show is LAME!
much love that chick. your my kelly kapowski.
over and out.

You guys are fucking delusional. Comparing yourselves to George Washington crossing the Delaware River??? Give me a a break.
I’m a lawyer, and in my opinion, Dean could sue you guys for battery for what you did — albeit the damages (dry cleaning the shirt) would be nominal.
And as one of the “lame bloggers” who was present and witnessed the whole thing, I will gladly back him up.

Whoa there Paul,
just come on, start taking some deep breaths that’s right…breath in thru your nose and hold it for a second then slowly release your breath out your mouth
not your arse.
Remember who we are talking about here …yes Gavin Newsom no, Dean is fine and I support you to support him and I would willing to give 5 dollars toward his cleaning bill.
Just do a search on flickr.com will you, sincerely you will find a person who is in DESPERATE need of a glass of wine thrown on them.
Paul, look at Fogcityjournal today you have bigger soy burgers to fry….don’t hyperventilate here…

delusional? hahaha, this is coming from someone who “majored” in law with [i'm guessing] a minor in blogging? shouldn’t you be chasing
ambulances[i'm sorry] people around various bars/lounges handing out your business card?if throwing a drink is classified as battery, then alot of women will be getting court orders from me in the mail. i’m guessing since this may be your specialty i can get representation from you?
…waste your time standing in front of the ER. jerko.

I agree with Paul. Washington crossing the Delaware that is kind of a lame duck comparison. You need something with more gravitas.
I would compare your Liquid justice to Edison inventing the light bulb.
Thanks for letting me ride your coat tails, now I can sign off with pride.
World renowned artist,

I’m shocked and outraged that you would sacrifice alcoholic beverages with such wanton disregard. No doucebag blogger is worth a drink, much less two.
