Hello adoring fans (this one’s for you Mary Trotter)!

So, yesterday, my goal was to see the Broadway Musical Wicked!  Which turned out to be (as the kids call it) an Epic Fail, due to the 300 Japanese foreign exchange students that showed up at the lottery drawing….which lowered our stupid odds of getting picked, which almost ruined my blog for today…whatever…I’m over it.   So… instead we went to PJ Clarke’s on the East Side (after having 3 margaritas and a shot of some fancy kind of tequila…I couldn’t tell you the name….they all taste like dirty old man armpits to me) to suck down….MY VERY FIRST RAW OYSTER!

Upon arrival at PJ Clarke’s, we met 2 very nice gentlemen at the bar, Mark and  John, who were both pro’s at eating oysters, and they graciously invited us to their table for a tutorial on how it’s done (and they paid!).  Before watching my (first ever!) video blog below, let me introduce you to our new friends…

We’ve got Mark (a divorce lawyer from Florida), John (Mark’s friend, also a divorce lawyer from Florida who is upset about the size of New York Local Oysters and supports Obama) my gal pal Becca Pace (my awesome personal trainer friend who’s tiny pea head always gives my giant chubby head low self esteem in pictures), and then there’s me (giant chubby head).

And here it is folks…

what we’ve all been waiting for…

something I’ve always wanted to try…

my first ever raw oyster!

And then I went back for seconds…

Still kind of grossed out, I’m more accustomed to trying to get loogies out of my body…not putting them in…

 Then I got the hang of it!

Sort of…

Cheers to new friends and Oysters, or as I now fondly call them…The Boogers of the Sea!
