The GLB Party Posse

jbox has mentioned the "GLB Party Posse" so many times in print that I figured it was time to make this thing official. 

The GLB Party Posse, which we were dubbed by jbox (along with a mention of his own bitterness/jealousy), is a collective of GLB regulars (and myself) that happen to live in San Diego, attend Padres games, drink heavily, have personalities and enjoy the company of other gossipy Padre fans. Sorry, we do not have shirts or banners....nor do we really do much searching out of new members besides posting invites on Twitter and allowing anybody in. The key to being a part of the GLBPP is simple: Get a twitter account, keep your eyes open, and occasionally buy drinks (or be a girl).

Now, onto a list of unwritten rules and/or a roster.

The Posse 

(Those that have images attached to them have had actual pictures of their faces as SBN avatars previously, so I assumed it was okay)

Jodi aka jodes aka The Unofficial Queen of Gaslamp Ball

Jodi has only ever missed one GLB Party Posse meet-up that I'm aware of.....and that was on Drama Day. Interesting.

After several drinks, Jodes will start every declaration with "Dear (addressee)" and end it with "Love, Jodes". This is her way of keeping formal letters alive, and I admire it.

Dave aka justdave aka Future President/Giraffe

Dave is there sometimes, but not all times. He's a tall, but busy, man with a sometimes-broken truck who spends 90% of his time fending off beautiful women. He keeps track of John Gennaro's whereabouts (third person!) through Facebook.

Wonko

I have a sneaking suspicion that Wonko's recent move to downtown had something to do with the fun he had as part of the GLB Party Posse in September of last year. The best part about it is that he will no longer be able to use "I have to drive home" as an excuse to not do tequila shots. His strength as a drinker will be tested.

He's a bit nicer in person than you might imagine, although if he is sitting in front of a very good sporting event he can tend to get quiet/focused. He enjoys wearing Padres and Chargers gear, seems a little obsessed with polo shirts, and is so locked into Twitter on his phone that it's amazing he existed before it.

Matt aka Matto aka Matthewverygood aka Matthewveryrude aka Prince of the Dick Wavers

On a side note, before I start my original "note", I vote to crown Matt "Duke of the Dick Wavers". It just feels more right to me.

On an original note, when people mention Matto in conversation my response tends to be "Matt's a treat, isn't he?" And he is! A gentleman and a scholar who can seemingly drink his weight in tequila and still comfort some brokenhearted girl at the end of the night (it's his specialty).

Another one of Matt's specialties is eating burritos. I've never seen him actually eat one, but that's only because he inhales them the way dogs inhale snausages. The only chink I've ever seen in this man's armor is the ability to Skype, via iPhone, after several shots of tequila. He does not have that in his repertoire. Not yet anyways.

Because he lives in Los Angeles, and will surely die at the age of 35 due to smog inhalation, he is not often at GLB Party Posse events. However, the times he is he more than makes up for the breaks.

John Gennaro

I'm pretty awesome. I'm usually there for GLB Party Posse meetups. If I'm not, you can assume it is only because Liz Hurley from 1999 climbed in an old-school time machine and came to 2011 with the specific intention on sexing me up (Note: I have missed several GLBPP meet-ups *wink*).

Sam aka 'tec aka sdsuaztec4

Sam likes boobies (as seen above) and, inadvertently, Sam likes ladies. Outside of that, all you really need to know about young Samuel is that he loves SDSU (and will find a way to bring up one of their athletic programs into your conversation), he will probably outdrink you (I'm not sure he ever gets drunk, but that may be because he only drinks Bud Light), and he really, really hates Adolf Hitler (so does Wonko).

Also, if you ever say a mean word to Jodi you can probably expect to see what Sam's knuckles look like from very close-up. (Side Note: Sam is usually pretty mean to Jodi)

Axion aka Axe

Axe and "Mrs. Axe" usually find a way to be the life of the party (posse) while also trying to be quiet and reserved. It's weird, but mostly happens because they're both hilarious. Mrs. Axe may have the greatest laugh in the history of laughs, and has been offered money to follow people around and laugh at their jokes. She's turned them down, thought, because she is a woman of class and dignity.

They are a private bunch, at least online, but will offer their guest bedroom to anyone within shouting distance. Also, they seem to like dogs.

Fringe GLB Party Posse members:

Drama

Would undoubtedly be an official member if he lived in San Diego, or anywhere close-by. Introduced himself to Dex with a kiss on the cheek.

jbox

I think he's afraid that the more time he spends with us the closer he gets to somebody revealing his true identity and that's why he is always avoiding us (while simultaneously being jealous that he's not a part of the fun). He's probably right.

Theodore Donald Kerabatsos aka TDK aka Donny

I feel like he was around more than once, but that's probably wrong. Either way.....cool dude, perfect nipples.

Dallas Lillie

She loves Jodes.

Jordan Ming

She Skyped with the GLB Party Posse once, after much alcohol was imbibed. Much of the Party Posse thinks that she has a crush on John Gennaro (Le 3rd personne!) and talk about it constantly. They're probably wrong.

creanium

I think he was out with the posse only once, and the day ended with him vomiting and blaming it on his inability to drink a Bloody Mary that was filled with meat. What a little sissy-pants.

Mat Latos

See? This is totally Padres-related! Mat was at a Party Posse meetup once. We all sort of stood around and gawked at him. He was in a bad mood after losing to the Dodgers, so we kept our distance......still, I got the feeling that he totally liked us and wanted to hang out with us more. Story developing....

Charisma

Charisma is somewhat of a recent addition to the GLB Party Posse. She shows up, but never seems to be drinking. That's going to have to change if she wants to achieve "official" status in the GLBPP.

Jodi's Roommates (MJ, Kiersten, Ashley)

The best thing about Jodi's roommates? They're all attractive, and they like to drink! The worst thing about Jodi's roommates? They're (mostly) unavailable because of their long-term boyfriends. SKANKS.

SoulSD

He came out drinking once. He blew us away with his coolness and ability to smoke cigarettes. He took me calling him a hipster in stride, and told me we would hang out many times afterwards. We never have. I am broken-hearted. SoulSD, if you're reading this....I HATE YOU. Also, wanna hang out?

Zach aka maestro876 aka Veggie Boy

Zach is from the OC, but does not have cool hair, so he is not around often. When he is, he enjoys eating at restaurants with copious vegan options and saying hello to Derran Smith. Knows his baseball inside and out, but has yet to raise a shot glass with the rest of the gang.

Future GLB Party Posse Members

Jonathan Holmes aka The Detective aka Dotsy

One of these days, Dotsy, you're going to be a real person. Jodi is going to make sure of it.

You

Seriously. This is not an exclusive club. 3 months from now we'll probably all be bored of each other. We need more/new members. Here's your application....

Unspoken GLB Party Posse Rules:

1. You will get called on any and all dick waving
2. When enough people are together, tequila shots will be ordered and imbibed. However.....
3. Tequila will not be ordered unless Jodi is present
4. San Diego sports must be brought up in conversation at least once
5. Post-game drinks are necessary to celebrate a Padres victory
6. Post-game drinks are necessary to forget a Padres loss
7. You are not to reveal jbox's identity, as the world is not yet ready for an American President that is a Padres fan but pretends to be a White Sox fan. I've said too much!

Anyway, that's the illustrious "GLB Party Posse" that jbox has referred to. In true GLBPP tradition, I wrote this post while drinking....so there's about 100% chance that I left something very important out. That's why SBN created a comments section, I suppose. Comment away!
